Gold between $1,000 and $1,100 and silver around $18 and $20.

Well I don't believe I will see the end of days many folks stack for but I do like to have a variety of silver coins just to keep my stacking interesting. I avoid the semi numi coins like Lunars. I like to keep my stacking habits and my numismatic habits apart. I feel like semi numi will lead me...

Hello all, Just saw this link: http://www.aol.com/article/2014/10/22/huge-gold-nugget-going-up-for-sale-in-california/20982628/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl9%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D551126 A dude in California found a 6.07 lbs gold nuggest! Wow that's a find of a lifetime! Cheers, Chris

I did the diamond thing once and the relationship fell apart before we got married. Thankfully the ex worked at a diamond store so I got a good discount on it. Yeah the store gave their employees a 75% discount! Even with that they turned a profit! The 2nd time around (yeah this one worked out...

Hey everyone, I'll try to snap a few photos later. Stupid chemistry! lol Not sure if I'll melt it or not. Might just keep it for the time being... it is so ugly though! Maybe I'll eat my losses and take to a "we buy gold" shop and get like $40 for it. I dunno. And no I won't be doing that...

So I got a very bad lesson in chemistry today. Heat plus gold plus lead solder equals a bad day for me. I bought a 2.5 peso coin recently (below spot thankfully) that was soldered to a tie tack. Thinking that I am smart and have some handy skill I decided I'd take a small hot iron to the solder...

I'm with mmissinglink gold and silver are not money. Gold and silver can be used to mint money but by themselves they are not. In the 1950's when coins were minted with silver you couldn't go into a store with a silver fork (or a gold earring) and walk out with a shirt unless the clerk was...

Maybe I am dumb; gold is at around $1220 right now. Why would $1350 be a major buy signal? Shouldn't people be buying now while it is $130 less than this so called buy signal? In fact shouldn't people have been buying all the way down into the $1180s? I know I was. You can't catch the falling...

A lot of that is how theft is defined in your jurisdiction. In Maryland in the USA it is pretty simple as there are really only two elements of the crime. I have a feeling it is pretty much the same in most English speaking countries and states. You must take property that does not belong to you...

I see where you are coming from but I am inclined to say no they are not money. I would say currency can be minted out of them both but in their raw form they are not money. During the Latin Monetary Union you had GRS issues as silver became more abundant everyone who could, would trade silver...

I am a short term bear and think the dropping prices are a correction back to level headed/realistic prices but I feel that over the course of years and decades (my over all time frame for stacking) there is gradual but steady bullish tendencies. Yeah there are the swings and the crazy spikes in...

Some solid advice I read here: don't try to catch the falling knife at the bottom, you'll miss it every time.

Hello all, Not all gold prices are dropping. This gold aureus just sold for $785,000 USD: http://www.aol.com/article/2014/09/24/rare-gold-roman-coin-sold-at-auction-for-nearly-785-000/20967107/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl36%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D535023 Kinda nice to see some fine numi action...

Gold? What gold? :) I buy small amounts when I have enough spare cash in my PM fund. Not much and certainly not worth burglarizing but enough to keep me happy.

I've become very partial to Mexican 5 pesos and Austrian 1 ducats and I think most of my stacking will revolve around them. I only have a couple of each so no meaningful % at this time. I have some 2 and 2.5 pesos and some1/10 gold coins too but no decent quantities since gold is new to my stack...

To be honest I've been thinking this, too. At this point it is just gut feeling (and I trust my gut) that silver is at a fairly decent price but that gold should be between $1,000 and $1,100 USD. At the current price of about $1,300 USD I don't think it is a terrible buy but could be a little...

I don't have any supporting facts but my guess is the '99 sales had to do with the wide spread belief of the EoW Y2K. I remember some very smart people I knew stocking up on PM, food ratios and they bought water purification systems. Of course their homes were stocked with guns and ammo like WW3...

I think it might depend on where you live too. I was paying $850 per month for a one bedroom apartment. I purchased a small house with two bedroom, two bath, a finished basement and front and back yard and my mortgage is $900.35 a month. That has the taxes and insurance rolled into the payment...

I have a friend from Iraq who is trying to get his family out of Mosul and here to the US. Even though there are no US cities on the top ten list I still feel fortunate to live in such a safe and stable country. I can only imagine what it must be like fleeing from terrorists and leaving all of...

I find sorting and rolling change to be a relaxing thing to do. Maybe I have issues? lol
