Re: Was anyone buying gold at under $400 and/or silver at under $6.00
I can't really afford gold in quantity -- I bought 10 oz in various forms -- St Gaudens, Krugerrands, $5 & $10 Indians in AU. All purchased when gold was between $300 and $400.

Re: Old Thread: Numismatic History – John Jay Pittman

He didn't have his first pair of new shoes until he was 10. >> << Pittman realized early in life that it wasn't what one had that was important, material… -
