Re: A Post About Something Teletrade Just Did That Really Impressed Me & Was Great For The Hobby!!
I don't have many decent B&M dealers near me (I have checked out all of the within a ~60 mile radius), and can't make it to many shows. The majority of my purchases are online. It's great to know that Teletrade weeds out spotty 70 eagles. I wish more dealers/etc. did. I started collecting silver eagles, and abandoned hopes… -

Re: How bout some RESPECT for Platinum!?
I sold some raw 1 ozers to Silvertowne at the St. Louis show a week ago for $1715 when spot was around $1690. Granted, the other dealers were only offering spot at the time, but I had no problem finding willing buyers. Miles, yes those are still my collection except that I added a bunch more in '07 & '08, then I slacked… -
Re: Update on eBay Charging Sales Tax on Coins/Bullion
Yes we certainly take it in the shorts on the gas tax, everyone is going to get it one way or the other I suppose but they are not getting it on coins and bullion. Also helps to live 7 miles from the Ohio border, gas is typically 40 cents cheaper so we just fill up over there. Edit: just put 100 eagles in the shopping… -

Re: The official Platinum Reverse Proof Set Thread
hrlaser: yes, good luck finding a pristine 2006 Gold Anniversray Set. I see APMEX is out of them and one went for over $6000 last night on ebay. Darn shame some of those GOLD reverse proofs, along with the Platinum version, will be melted...oh well, the price to be paid for accelerating PM prices. So much accelerating,… -
Re: Just ordered my first metal detector! A White's DFX
<< <i>Get your tools together. Do some research of older spots. >> My grandfather owns the largest apple/peach orchard in maryland and there was an old civil war road that zig zags through his property (about 25-30 miles due south of Gettysburg).

Re: Palladium
I grabbed some Maples from Tulving at $200 and a few NGC Graded 69 Maples from ebay (which sometimes hold less of a premium). They look better in the slabs as the plastic they come in further dulls the surfaces. And they are difficult to photograph - just check out the very poor represenatations on ebay. I purchased them…
