I've owned and read a few books, some were more helpful than others. Probably the most valuable thing I've read so far that really helped me to change my attitude and learn a lot about wealth and those that earn it, was How Rich People Think, which I read in .pdf form for free. I'm not looking...

The one on the right is my first silver purchase ever, which I always keep in my back pocket, so it never even rubs together with other coins or keys. It's been slightly more than a year, but not by much. I was surprised at how noticeable it was when I actually put them side by side.

It seems that many, if not the vast majority of people here feel that silver is currently undervalued. Then, given the dollar's current buying power, what would be an appropriate price at this time? Just opinions for the sake of discussion. Feel free to expand on any reasons for your opinion...

More important than any actual hypothetical 'moon' number is the hive mind mentality surrounding such an event. Mass confidence levels. Will you view things differently than the average person, having bought in while those confidence levels were low? If silver starts to climb and the general...

I want to go ahead and purchase one or two 10oz bars for my stack. I don't want to dedicate a whole lot of weight this way, but would like at least one just to have something bigger than 1oz coins. I want to find something that is close to spot but may rise beyond that in the years to come. So I...

I've thought about seeking out older coins hoping the premium would rise faster. Right now you can buy a 2003 ASE for the same price as a 2015 on APMEX at least, the premiums start to rise significantly beyond that point. I don't plan to mix dates in individual tubes. The issue comes from mixing...

I've heard people on this site claim that gold isn't a reliable hedge (then what is?) because, historically speaking, the price of gold has not always followed inflation. While this is technically true, wouldn't that depend entirely on the timeframe? I have a timeline to bring to the table, and...

Just curious how others do this. Whether you only take note of what spot was at the time of each purchase, or how much you payed over spot (and if so, would you factor in shipping or any other fees?). I write all the info down in a little notebook when I make a purchase. So, depending on how I...

People say silver is the better choice right now due to the GSR being pretty unbalanced. At what point do you all plan to make the swap (if ever)? If/when the GSR reaches this hypothetical point, would that make gold the better buy (regardless of price)?

Does anyone know the weight of this? My guess is 10 kilo. I've seen Lunars that big for sale on APMEX. It just seems a bit excessive to me. If I was to buy that much silver at one time I'd opt for something a bit more liquid than that. Another 180 ounces and you've got a full monster box. This...

At least not by much. When I pulled up SS today I noticed silver was down .27 and gold down 27. I'm waiting (and hoping) for gold to drop to a grand before I make my first gold purchase. So if gold and silver keep dropping at a similar rate together silver will be a little over $14 at the time...

I got to thinking about my exit strategy. I would rather be able to unload a lot at one time than have to worry about making several small transactions. So unless I change my mind again, I've decided to buy one tube at a time. The question is which? ASEs because of the easy recognition (and I...

Or any other 22K gold coin that is sold for the same price as 24K? I've never been all that great at math and I apologize if I make any mistakes but I think I should be able to handle this (I'll be rounding). 22K=92% purity. A troy ounce is 31 grams, so for every ounce of 22K that you buy...

They have an interesting write up located here: http://www.jmbullion.com/silver/shipwreck-silver/ The prices are reasonable too. What I want to know is why did they (I'm assuming) melt it down into new coins and bars? Simply because the condition was bad from being underwater? Seems like that...

It's exactly 4 grams. Yeah, apparently they do make them that size. Source:

Sorry for the dumb question but I just don't know how it works and there have been a few times when I've wanted to post a picture, so I'm swallowing my pride and asking the question. Who knows, maybe others have wondered the same thing. I see the IMG button which brings up: Source: But I'm not...

It's funny, I was just about to make a post asking if anyone knows of any sellers out there that offer cube and/or pyramid shaped silver, and then I saw Mmissinglink's link to the dice, which is pretty neat (not sure how well it would roll though). I don't know about 'reputable' dealers and the...

Is the quantity in a tube always 25? Can you fit anymore than that in a tube? If you buy a tube is it always American Eagles? Seems like that's all I've ever seen and I'm not sure why. Do other coins not fit in them properly? I know Maples aren't quite as wide as ASE so they might shake around...

It may take some time to really grow in worth, as was the case with Marvel comics, but look how much first editions are worth now. Often thousands of dollars for a single issue. With Walking Dead's massive popularity and still being a relatively new franchise, now might be the time to buy. It...

Even though I don't have a lot worth stealing, I'm just afraid someone will trash my place out and take what little goodies I do have. I've always been concerned about this due to the isolated location of my house, while still being visible from a main road. I also don't get off work until after...
