    Clive Maund retracts ST bull outlook for AG, sees another dive coming

    spot's flirting with 33USD again as we speak.. will it be heart-breakingly rejected - doomed to plunge into the depths of purgatory for a while - or embraced and supported, boosted to the stars on rainbow-jets of love? either way, so exciting :D

    Russia 1987 Russo-American Peace 5 Oz. Silver Proof

    Pandaamerica.com There are plenty of nice looking coins in the world, but so often the premiums are outrageous. These seem decent to me though, considering that cool animal coins always seem to do OK if not very well. Doesn't get much cooler than a polar bear, they're ice cold.

    Clive Maund retracts ST bull outlook for AG, sees another dive coming

    Isn't that akin to saying "never trust a doctors opinion, especially if you don't have a medical degree"? Jus' sayin', thought it was funny. As you were :cool:

    Russia 1987 Russo-American Peace 5 Oz. Silver Proof

    Source: Only 202USD for 5 oz of attractive, historic, proofy .999AG goodness, with a 10k mintage. seems like a good deal, no? I mean c'mon, it has POLAR BEARS on it, and the flags of two nations that may well be butting heads in WWIII (among others - China, EU etc). A penny for your thoughts?

    Clive Maund retracts ST bull outlook for AG, sees another dive coming

    Not a bad move anyway, even if you might've been able to get a few more oz's on the drop, supply may be a problem (websites down for maintenance etc) and/or physical prices wouldn't follow suit as sharply. EDIT: too slow. Nah, I think he's referring to SLV/ETF traders trading highly leveraged...

    http://www.clivemaund.com/article.php?art_id=67&PHPSESSID=7fe12674dbde218f94413a7b5391f896 I respect Clive Maund. Too many commentators, forecasters and posters seem to get married to their predictions and blame everyone and everything when they turn out to be wrong (note my restraint in using...

    Buying Bullion in Perth

    it sure is :D got it from BullionClub, with the Omnias. I was pretty happy when it peeked out of the bubble-wrap, I've seen plenty of pretty grim looking ones around here. The tiny RAM Roo was an impulse buy down at PM. I had just placed an order for a kg bar, and I just couldn't leave empty...

    Buying Bullion in Perth

    Just a few questionays: Perth Mint buys other bullion (maples, Pamp etc) so what do they do with it? Can one ask if they have any non-PM stuff on hand for sale, and has anyone scored this way? If not, do they have a reseller in Perth that they pass things on to? Are there alternative...

    unidentified coin

    I've found a coin on eBay, that I cannot find anywhere else on the net (other than sites that aggregate listings from eBay). No online catalogue (colnect.com being the most comprehensive I can find) has it listed, and my searches unearth no discussion on any forums. Apparently there are only...

    Palau Memento Mori coin

    Source: has anybody heard of/seen these? I can't find any substantive info with a few hours of googling, so I'm dubious as to whether it is a genuine minted coin. Apparently there're only 2500 of them..

    SGTREPORT is fantastic!!!

    A 'Permabull' is someone who looks at an instrument of trade with the narrow view that it can only go up. Their preachings are dangerous, lopsided, and rarely backed up by broad research but rather by cherry-picked factoids that support their case. People who are in love with this information...

    Dragon release Tue

    the PM website's getting slammed, hasn't let me in all morning.. I got 2 gilded dragons from CoinClub. Might've been the last two, as my original order for 3 was rejected due to "insufficient inventory". Yep, just checked, they out.

    Storage Box 1 kg bars

    I found the perfect box at bunnings, made by Tactix. They make a few different types. This one is rectangular and shallower than their others, and comes with a smaller box inside. All translucent plastic, very plain with a snap lock lid. It has dividers that you can remove (two long ones and a...
