Even the name sounds romantic, conjuring up visions of pirates and buccaneers, with bags of gold doubloons, so there will be a lot of interest at the up-coming World’s Fair of Money®, which is held in Philadelphia from August the 14th to the 18th, 2018. The fair is organized by the American Numismatic Association. This […]
As promised, we are picking up where we left-off last week, in talking about pre-1934 gold coins, and why right now, according at least to Barry Stuppler, President of the Accredited Precious Metals Dealers, a section of the Professional Numismatists Guild, the spread between melt value and market value on these coins is the smallest […]
The old adage, “Buy low and sell high” sounds simple enough. But where is ‘high’ and where is ‘low’? These are the questions that keep investors and speculators awake at night.
