The precious metals sector was confusing last week, with a mixed bag of performances and no clear pattern visible. The two big investment items, gold and silver, didn’t show a lot of movement. Neither did platinum, while palladium managed to rise. With the equities markets also rising quite strongly, propelled mostly by gains in defense […]
Silver Army Men! The perfect gift for the person who has everything. Everybody knows or has played with the ever-popular green plastic toy soldiers. For decades they’ve been a staple in homes across America. Now you can get your toy soldiers in pure .999 fine silver!
If you grew up in the United States in the second half of the 20th century then more than likely you’ve seen or even played with plastic toy soldiers. They were a staple in millions of American households and are a staple in 20th Century Americana history. They were sold by the millions and […]
Once again there were disappointing results right across the precious metals sector last week, although the scale of losses varied. Overall it was a worrying period, because metals managed to lose ground even though the equities markets fell heavily. Normally we’d have expected to see metals make a lot of ground in these market conditions, […]

But what you might not know is that there were some steel pennies that […]
After some recent gains for precious metals last week was less impressive, with falling values right across the sector. In general the losses weren’t serious, though – enough to be noticed, not enough to signal a renewed slide in the market. Based on the performance of equities it was a normal investor response to climbing […]
Coin collectors always have one eye on the bullion value of their coins and may also directly collect bullion in the form of gold, silver and platinum coins and bars.
