Sounds like a lot of hooey to me.

To me. I think $20 USD per troy oz is a good and fair price for the metal. I'd say between $18 and $20 is where it should be just based on gut feeling. The fact that I can get minted coins for a little less than $20 right now makes me very happy and I am buying as many as my limited budget is...

I work with a guy who is a bible prophecy loon. He told me according to the number of blood moons and certain passages in the bible the end of times is coming this Sept. (2015). He is hoarding/prepping for the end of days. When he sees me looking at silver coins and bullion he brings up how...

Sometimes their ebay store is good for a single coin but I've found a lot of their more interesting stuff they don't sell on ebay. I thought about making an order of a couple small things (like a 2014 1/20th and 1/10th silver Libertad) but there isn't anything I want besides those two items...

First days, first times doing new tasks, first times doing stuff alone are all very stressful. The first time I locked someone up was super stressful. I kept going over the incident, my charging documents, my report language etc. til it was perfect. The first hands on fight I was involved with...

Only if it turns into a Transformer. Otherwise I'll stick to small Japanese imports.

Yeah, we don't have kangaroos to travel in like you have. What is a "Yank Tank?" I have a Toyota Corolla and the wife has a Nissan Versa. Both get excellent gas mileage.

Hello all, So gasoline prices have dropped sharply in my area. I just got gas at $2.54 US per gallon. I haven't seen prices this low in many years. My wife and I went to grab dinner last night and on the way to the restaurant I saw gas for $2.54. On the way back I took a different route and the...

I've held my job for a few years now, do I get any 66 50's? :) In all seriousness a few years ago I was working three part time gigs trying to make ends meet (I was part of those stats saying the Obama Admin had created a bunch of new jobs... yeah new part time jobs because they fired all the...

That's true but it is true of nearly every coin. I just read a thread here about some Perth Mint coins milking up. It is the price we pay as stacker/c collectors :)

Hello all, So I just got my 2015 Britannias that I preordered from JM Bullion. These guys look pretty much the same as 2014 and 2013 except the background behind Britannia and the Queen have a mottled surface texture. These are very nice coins with a highly polished proof-like finish much like...

Not much help to the OP but I really like silver yen coins like the 1964 1000 yen olympic coin, Mexican silver pesos and i think i am going to pick up some French Hercules francs, too. They all tend to be a little exotic, have some numi value added and it keeps ya fromgetting bored with Morgans...

I have $25 per pay check taken out and I purchase savings bonds with it. I mostly buy I bonds with a few EE bonds mixed in. The return isn't great, just a little better than a savings account but I like the security of them. I have a little more faith in the US government to repay its bills than...

So I collect antique Japanese swords and related items. Last year I was bidding on what is called a tsuba, the hand guard on the sword. They are often decorated with symbolic cut out shapes, inlays of various soft metals etc. The one I was bidding on, some well meaning meaning person many years...

My father is a plumber and he told me they used to pour lead joints on waste pipes. They'd keep a large pot of lead cooking on the site. Sometimes they'd mess with each other by flicking water at the lead pot causing small lead explosions. Dangerous but hey at least it was fun.

I think that would take me a lot longer than 6 years to stack! Even when I'm done stacking in 30 years I don't know if mine will look like that. Wow!

I don't carry cash very often I use plastic so I don't get much change back. When I worked retail in the early 2000's I'd find silver coins, old coins and odd international coins all the time. The mangers knew I was a nerd and they'd let me buy it out of the register at face value. A couple...

A large % of my stack was left to me by my great grandmother. It is 90% US junk coins. Since it was free to me and she only paid face I'd say I am well above water over all. Now if we are talking about my fine silver and gold I've been stacking for the last year, well... where is the scuba gear? :)

phrenzy, China sucks doesn't it? They'll rip off anything they can and be the first to cry foul when someone rips them off. I almost exclusively buy from the larger dealers for most of my stuff (or ebay with paypal so I can file a claim). Because of that I'm not too worried about fakes. They...

I favor government bullion coins with minimal numi value. I try to keep my numi and my stacking as separate as I can. I also would rather pay a little more for peace of mind with government backed bullion vs generic rounds. I might get a bar or two at some point. If I do it'll be RCM or Perth...
