Credit cards, when used properly, are one of the best financial tools a person can have. The reason I say this is that many cards offer "cash back" on purchases. Even if it is only 1%-1.5% or thereabouts (some pay more on certain purchases), it is free money to the card user. I pay as many...

Very true. I don't remember anything about entrepreneurship back when I was in school. All they taught you was to be a obedient, quiet, well-behaved zombie. Basically they were training everyone to be good "workers" and not be creative or think for yourself. I went to a public school maybe...

I believe that DB's demise will coincide with the next "2008" which will be worse this time because it will be multiple countries involved. Probably be the time many countries institute some type of Gov crypto (cashless) systems.

Some pretty toning on the Cambodian coin.

Kind of funny seeing people promoting a "collapse" and saying those who disagree are somehow dumb, etc. Yet, it is these dumb folks that doubled or quadrupled their nest egg in the stock markets during 2011 till today, and all the stackers in the US are negative or even if lucky. I know...

I'm just curious, can a person have a cross bow at their home? Or muzzle loaders? That would be great for defending against an intruder at home. If I remember correctly, felons in the US (who cannot possess "firearms") can possess black powder muzzle loader pistols and rifles, which would be...

Those kinds of fakes are very common. If they were real silver, they would not stick to a magnet. I don't know if they are on this list or not. https://www.ngccoin.com/resources/counterfeit-detection/top/chinese/

China is often brought up as the "savior" to end the gold/silver rigging in the Comex, and to replace the dollar eventually as the world reserve currency, etc. Everyone assumes China is so wealthy and honest (not corrupt), unlike the dastardly US and everyone else. Remember a few years ago...

I've often thought about getting into ammo reloading as a hobby. I have a couple of friends that reload and they say it is easy to do. I am afraid of messing it up. I like .40 cal and they are very high pressure rounds to begin with.

What is hurting the coin collecting hobby the most is lack of new collectors. The younger folks today, don't care about coin collecting like in the past. The coin shows I attend as a dealer each year have grown smaller and smaller attendance-wise. Some of that I believe has been falling PM...

One of the few I have from Russia (I don't see them often locally), along with some friends.

Before I got into silver I was into gold coins. I bought a US gold buffalo UNC after they came out that had a red "spot" on it (I didn't see it at the store). I was really freaked out, not because of cosmetic reasons, but because I thought it was fake. I had no clue how 9999 gold could have...

It will depend on how a person looks at their PM stack. For example, 1. If you have certain bars and coins that you bought because you like them (like works of art), then you should hold them without plans to sell. And don't sell unless you get tired of them and want to use the funds for a...

Here are some of my favorites from my collection. A 1995 Bob Marley silver coin from Jamaica. And a 2012 Palau 2 coin set of silver coins with gold gilding. Feel free to post pics of your favorites if you like.

Here is a Probus antoninianus 276-282 AD, Caracalla denarius from 198-217 AD, and a Julia Domna denarius (obverse only) from 193-217 AD. The Julia Domna came to me already slabbed ANACS extra fine (with somewhat cloudy slab unfortunately). I am considering having the Probus and Caracalla...

Here are two from my collection that are nice looking Ptolemy III coins with Zeus obverse. Nice larger, heavy coins. The one with the eagle reverse is 21.5g and the one with the statue of Aphrodite is 15.8g. Both coins were minted sometime 246-221 BC.

Any God that would send a human after death to eternal damnation because they held what turned out to be an incorrect religious belief would not be a "good" God to follow. That God would be quite evil, petty and egotistical it sounds to me. It always confounded me how some Christians will say...

These can work. https://www.thecoinsupplystore.com/products/air-tite-cap-tube-model-i?variant=46701439818&sfdr_ptcid=29113_4_403772322&sfdr_hash=713dd8ad37588d51f955fdff7c5ac3ab&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6Ie0loCG5QIVAdbACh0-FQ_9EAYYASABEgJgCPD_BwE

This would be mutually exclusive depending on what you believe. There are some Gnostics who believe that the Archons did not "tinker" with "humans" in any physical way (DNA manipulation, etc) but instead only "feed" on our strong emotions (negative and positive). This is in stark contrast to...

I like this one from Nostradamus. C8 Q28: The copies of gold and silver inflated which after the theft were thrown into the lake, at the discovery that all is exhausted and dissipated All scrips and bonds will be wiped out. Since this was written in the 1500s seems like how a "seer" would...
