Very pleased. I went to buy some 90% silver coins and there were about 16 EF Walking Liberty halves. When I have seen them in the VG-F range I always passed, but in EF I like them a lot. Also got a 1917-s type 2 half in Good, and some other Halves, and VF Mercury dimes, all for 1% over melt. |

Ahhhh couldn't help myself when I saw this in a local jewelry store. Saudi Arabia was paid these for Oil by the US in 1945/6 until finally the Saudis were massaged unto taking USD rather than trying to force the revaluation of the Gold. James Blanchard & Co. hand selected a bunch of these back in the day, Mr. Blanchard supported his belief in precious metals with action he sued Barrick twice,for manipulating the price of Gold. Activist James Blanchard went so far as to hire a plane with a "Legalize Gold" banner to buzz Nixon's inauguration, Gerald Ford made gold ownership legal. This guy did some outstanding stuff in his days, I am stoked to have had the opportunity to buy it.     |

Thanks, TBK. My silver itch desperately needed scratching! lol Silver seems to be bouncing a bit in the $31.50-$32.50 range. This is a pretty tight range for silver. Usually it has a $2-3 range and not just $1. Makes me think that it is in position for a more substantial move... but, as usual, I have no clue as to whether that will be up or down. Not that it matters a lot. Just buy the dips or buy routinely and then add some during the dips.  |

Always liked these fractional sets, 1 , 1/2 , 1/4 , 1/10 and 1/20 oz, couldn't justify $200 for the 2013 set,this set is 2004.  |

@RogerD, your pics of that gold round/ingot don't do it justice, but your youtube video of it is awesome :)

That video about the Gold for Oil piece was awesome and I really enjoyed the history lesson. Well done thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the link. It would be kinda useless in mute.

Not really useless, there is a lot of information about it posted below in the info section. My skills as an orator are sorely lacking tempo and progression of topic information. Before posting the video, or doing it, a search for this coin/disk was done on Youtube...it would have been nice to find one on this topic already. Alas none were found, so this was the result.
@Berk The story became more interesting once I looked up James U. Blanchard III's history, he really had a remarkable fortitude, I am now going to have to try find "C0nfessions of a Gold Bug" written by him.
