Re: Hard assets as a part of an investment portfolio- do you just buy generic gold/silver, or do you div
<< <i>I have no bullion and probably never will. I think it's sufficient to own other real assets, e.g., real estate, equities, collectibles, automobiles, etc. Bullion is really only a must-have if you want to protect yourself against a true societal meltdown. And if that's the goal, guns and ammo and canned foods and… -
Re: Can someone help me understand what exactly are US Mint Uncirculated coins?

It seems like everyone’s pretty genuine on this site vs others I’ve attention get information from and for that I’m thankful to everyone that’s helping get a better understanding of the community and how it works. Reason I’m trying to learn all about this is because I recently… -
Re: How much gold is there in British gold soverigns?
A bit of info on the coin that pre-dates the United States (as does most world coinage): A Gold Sovereign is a gold coin first issued in 1489 for Henry VII of England and still in production as of 2008. While the coin typically had a nominal value of one pound sterling or 20 shillings, the sovereign was primarily an… -
Re: Topic: 1863 Half Dime Mintage and Survival Rates. Talk amongst yourselves...
There are no hard numbers or conclusive data to be found anywhere that would accurately describe the survival rate of the 1863 half dime, or any other date for that matter. Despite a few well-intentioned but extremely limited census surveys, and the virtually useless "Population Reports" compiled by the TPGs, the best… -

Re: Any of you Lincoln Variety guys need a 1994 DDR FS-801 (formerly FS-039.9)?
Best I can tell is that the difference is so subtle that PCGS treats either as the same FS# but Wiles, as detail oriented as he is, saw enough of a difference that he assigned another die #. They are almost the same: Die #1: Very strong spread with extra columns in the lower portion of bay #2, 3, 4, and 10 and almost a… -
Re: Washington grading NGC vs. PCGS.
I've always found this discussion particularly interesting. Especially since no one can tell me which MS67 grade is correct, PCGS's or NGC's. The assumption is that NGC's are overgraded. Isn't it possible that PCGS's are undergraded thus creating a false sense of what a true MS67 grade is? Including falsely inflated… -
Re: Vintage Hockey article in SMR
1933 Ice Kings Ace Bailey Irvine "Ace" Bailey was one of the most popular players ever to skate for the Leafs during his few years in the NHL, but he will forever be linked to one of the worst on-ice accidents in the history of the game. On December 12, 1933, during the second period of a Leafs' visit to Boston Garden,… -
GTG 1931-S Buffalo
...and taking the opportunity to share images taken by our own Crazyhoundog this Fall. This piece represents what I feel is an eye appeal upgrade over the piece I've owned since 2007. I was actually rather happy with that piece. Over the past several years I passively looked for something that would more closely match how… -
Re: Stockman: "After March 15 Everything Will Grind To A Halt"
Why did you change your chart in the other thread that showed gold in a 6 year downtrend? Six terrible years while you touted false news, false fundamentals, and worse yet, ignorant opinion. Talk about doing as stupid does. Wouldn't it have been great to stay away from gold and concentrate more on other asset for the past…
