I used to keep my bullion coins in coin flips (non-PVC) but as the stack got bigger that started to become a problem as they'd slide all over the place in my storage box. I now keep them in original tubes from the respective mints. You can get old mint tubes for a couple bucks each. Much easier...

I think those are various dings on the coin that damage the otherwise frosted coin. I have some that are right out of a tube that look the same. When I buy eagles in the 2nd half of the year I've noticed they are more likely to suffer from that. It might be something with the die, the blanks or...

I'm gonna pick up a half dozen Libertads. If it drops further down I'll have some $ left over for some Britannias next week. I'm almost to my threshold of switching to gold again so this has been a welcome drop for me. Since my position is very long for PMs I'm very happy with this bearish...

That is the same seller with the $17 Eagles. They have some pretty good promo deals.

Keep checking back on that listing. They put a couple hundred more up a few hours ago and I was able to get one. Maybe they'll do it again?

Looks awesome!

You onviously weren't using it right. If you would have paddled down to the local market you could have used a few oz of silver to buy guns and ammo, food, land and everything else you'd need to battle zombies... oh wait never mind. Doesn't work for that either. :)

I would suggest starting with a plan. Figure out a goal, a strategy for building the stack and an exit plan. This will help you keep focused on your end game (whatever it is). It sounds like there are a lot more tax liabilities to be mindful of in the UK. Consider paper trading or another metal...

I would suggest a good spreadsheet and some nice tubes. I've only recently begun putting my coins in original mint tubes because I only buy a few ounces at a time. I'm just now to the point a tube makes sense. It has really helped clean up the box though. I also try to only stack five different...

I thought that was the official stacker uniform? I look sharp in mine :)

Just wait until you start getting a little gold... it is like a drug. You tell yourself you just want one little 1/10 oz coin to check it out. Next thing you know you're on ebay trying to find Mexican pesos below spot like it was your day job. If you watched the Hobbit movies and saw what...

I've made a few more purchases on Robinhood and so far I've been very happy with it. I hope they get it down to you guys because it makes stocks super accessible. There have been a few times already when I've skipped eating out and used that extra cash to purchase a stock or two. Something I...

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Greece a problem the last time Europe tried this single currency thing with the Latin Money Union?

I've only been stacking for a year and a half but I've yet to sell any of my stack. I've given a few things away as gifts to friends and family but that's it. Right now the stack is the cornerstone of my portfolio. I am trying to broaden and diversify my portfolio into some income producing...

Opps posted in the wrong thread sorry.

My vote is for the 3rd option; "(Gold) simply keeps up with inflation (over the long term), without an explosive fall or rise." It will rise a bit and it will sink a bit but largely stay the course. If it does either of the other two options it'll mean something pretty terrible has happened and...

The Armenian Noah's Arks are he worst for face value to silver weight. Drives me nuts about them!

Well it works. I made a purchase of some Old Republic Int. (ORI) stock with Robinhood. It was quick, easy and painless. I agree with GP that it might be a little too simplistic. I'm not sure I would use it as a research tool, but for what it is I'm happy. Going forward I will be using Loyal3 and...

I just got an email stating my funds cleared today as well. My phone has an older version of iOS so I have to wait til I get off work to use my wife's phone. I'm excited to see how it works. I have a few stocks I've been researching so when i pull the trigger on Robinhood I'll report back.

Move over silver, as usual, you are being trumped by gold! http://www.upworthy.com/working-at-tiny-scales-scientists-transform-gold-into-something-even-more-incredible?c=aol1&icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl34%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D188075020 I hope this isn't a repeat of this article :)
