by John Stepek of Money Week If you hadn't realised by now, Donald Trump is serious The copper price is sliding. Chinese stocks are sliding. Oil tanked by 7% at one point yesterday.

How about having a Selling Gold for Cash party? Yep, invite your friends to come over and make hundreds on their old jewelry, and just watch how fast they RSVP. Tell them to bring old mismatched, miscolored bent ugly pieces of gold. Even fillings from Crazy Auntie's teeth.Then ask the we-pay-cash-for-gold-folks to come over and bring their handy dandy Gold Detector Light. Provide some munchies and a couple of bottles of wine, and sit back and watch the fun. When most of us think about how to sell gold los angeles and other jewelry, the first thing that comes to [...]

Aftermarket Mint Set Envelopes: Good or Bad for Uncirculated Set Collectors?

By |2018-07-13T22:18:58+00:00July 13th, 2018|Coin Shop Blog|Comments Off on Aftermarket Mint Set Envelopes: Good or Bad for Uncirculated Set Collectors?

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor   I love collecting mint sets. Like many other hobbyists, I built a complete run of uncirculated sets ranging from 1959 through the present. In building this large collection of uncirculated sets, I've gained some knowledge on the variety of mint set packaging formats over the years. Maybe my interests in collecting mint sets with their original packaging stem somewhat from one of my other pastimes: my love of vintage theme park maps and brochures – ephemera as we paper-loving hobbyists call such paper collectibles.   Pre-2007 uncirculated mint sets were originally packaged in paper envelopes, [...]

Ponzi Economy Will Lead To Next Crisis

By |2018-07-13T04:17:22+00:00July 13th, 2018|Coin Shop Blog|Comments Off on Ponzi Economy Will Lead To Next Crisis

Hallmark of an Economic Ponzi Scheme by John Hussman of Hussman Funds Consider two economic systems. In one, consumers work for employers to produce products and services. The employees are paid wages and salaries, and business owners earn profits. They use much of that income to purchase the goods and services produced by the economy. They save the remainder. A certain portion of the output represents “investment” goods, which are not consumed, and the portion of income not used for consumption – what we call “saving” – is used to directly or indirectly purchase those investment goods. There may be [...]

Silver Price Update: Q2 2018 in Review

By |2018-07-13T04:16:04+00:00July 13th, 2018|Coin Shop Blog|Comments Off on Silver Price Update: Q2 2018 in Review

The price of silver fell more than 1.96 percent in the second quarter, dipping below the US$17.00 safety benchmark towards the end of April, where it would stay for the remainder of Q2. A strong US dollar, stagnant investor demand and silver's inability to attract the height of safe-haven demand that has supported gold, stifled silver in the second quarter. While gains were made on the back of geopolitical concerns at the beginning of Q2, much like the situation with gold, investors were not interested in holding the precious metal in their portfolios during market uncertainty. Despite silver's performance in [...]

When Junk Silver Coins Aren’t Really “Junk”: Cherrypicking Varieties, Errors & More

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor   Junk silver is a term that has irritated me for years. OK, I get it - common-date circulated 90% silver coins, subpar 40% silver coins, and worn-out 35% silver Jefferson nickels are proverbially a dime a dozen. Many dealers buy and sell junk silver coins by the shovelful and don't think twice about it.    But are all of those silver coins really – and literally – junk? I don't believe anyone has a statistic on what percentage of the junk silver coins bought and sold contain varieties or errors, but I have to take [...]
