jump ship at the first sign of trouble.
AKA the best time to buy.

For metals anyway. Love scanning craigslist for people trying to dump their silver and gold at rock bottom prices when prices drop and don't rise within a week, lol.

There's a lot of bubbles about to burst. Housing market is bubbling up, student loan bubble, stock market bubble (especially Dow Jones), and of course all that cheap money is going to produce some extraordinary consequences. I was thinking they were going to pass the buck to the ECB, but instead Japan took it for now. All while wages and therefore savings have stagnated.

To be fair though I haven't looked into the U.S. housing market in detail, but I could see buying cheap land because of fracking as a viable investment right now, that is until the fracking industry bursts as well. Remember fracking is only profitable as long oil remains above $70 a barrel.
Everything is a bubble to you, isn't it? lol
It's been that way since 1913 1531. :P

Touche.

Anyone interested and/or collect Rare coins, gold, and silver on this site?

I've been hearing and kinda had the feeling silver is about to sky rocket wondering if anyone else has heard any news or has any feeling on the subject.

Also, found an odd penny the other day, "looks" like it was spooned or been in a washing machine to long. However it is the same size and weight of a normal penny but has a raised rim on each side. Been scouring the internet looking for any info on it.
Forgot to ask, what year is it?

Apparently a 1990 with no mink mark, so 1990 D.

Oh I see it now, lol.

Yeah it's worth 1 cent.

Really anything post 1943, with 1955 double imprint being the exception, is worth only the copper it's minted on.

Actually, a good quality 1990 D penny is worth $.35 and a bad quality 1990 D penny is worth $.10 (source)

Speaking of pennies, spent 2 hours today going through swarms of them and found this one from 1874.

I got to check to see if it's copper plated and/or the "3" was filed down from an "8" or not to see if it's the real deal.

United States of America. lol

Check to see if it's magnetic. Even though the regular ones are zinc coated they stick to magnets from the steel just from aging.

I think my biggest find of the day was this:



I thought I sold off all of these years ago and to top it off it's a 1986 one.

That's the exact page I had up before.

So thanks a lot guys. I was supposed to be cleaning out the basement today instead just sifted through pennies all day, lol. I forgot my wire cutters anyway.

Also I had this page up:

I would go through my stash of coins, but my sister has half of them in Missouri.

Never did an apportionment on them either, didn't really care that much at the time lol.

Preferably 1881, but I'll take a 1878 or 1884. BU condition only!

Also if you find a penny from this year (1909), with this mint mark (S), this size (compared to the quarter I placed it next to), and in this good of a condition then let me know. >:P

I can feel the love emanating from this thread.

I think this damn 1990 penny is worth more than one cent because of people who collect these.

http://errorcoins.auctivacommerce.com/Error-Cents-C143399.aspx?sid=12254?s=Name%20ASC&p=4

The only problem is the error I have isn't on this list. Dunno if that make it super rare or just plain worthless.

I'm fairly sure its not a damaged coin everything looks legit.. Its just deep struck on both sides.

Best non political thread in a long time. I could talk coins, precious metals, and base metals all day long. It's in my blood, lol. (Not literally)
