I Am Back Baby! The Silverhawk Studebaker Has Returned....

apparently the pool of buyers are non-Canadians that have a hard time getting these new notes period, since they only came out in November. Really odd... from a collectors/numismatic point of view people should be buying the old paper notes that will be out of circulation relatively soon instead.

The new notes are made out of a plastic polymer that is suppose to be next to impossible to forge (for now), last 70x as long, cannot be ripped, and will not shrink when tossed into the dryer (but reports are that they do "deflate" slightly).

youd actually get more, you guys forget hes charging 130 USD and you are getting 100 CAD which is worth 98 USD.

So another way to look at this "incredible deal" is you pay him 130 USD he holds on to it for 6-8 weeks, then he sends you $98.20 in return LOL.

It was an intended pun :)
i just love the idea that the bills can shrink. The bill of the future for me would change in size according to value.

Hawk-

Over the years, I have often been asked two questions:

• What should I collect?
• What should I invest in?

The answers are similar, and always the same:

Collect what you enjoy. If it never becomes worth anything, you already got your money's worth, just like money you spent on any other entertainment. If it becomes valuable, the increase is pure profit.

Invest in what you understand. If you made the money in a business, expand the business. Why would you not put your profits where you know money can be made, in favor of putting them in someone else's control?

When Mug Whataman sold over a billion dollars in ebay stock, it was clear that the stock would tank. In effect, she was saying she felt that no matter what she did running the company, it was not going to be as profitable as investing elsewhere. That's a pretty big red flag.

Leave some to your kids. Not often are do we get the chance to pass down items that's been in the family for more than a generation. (my condolences)

TBK I do hate to hear of your father passing as I can tell you guys were good friends and enjoyed collecting the silver an gold together....

I bet your dad would want you to not get emotionally attached to it all, perhaps keep real special pre 33 gold as you love so as we all do, how cool is it, but I bet he would want you to move it at the right times as you guys had planned, continuing to add to you and your family and next generations position....

Why does ever sport team member go out and play even after a close teammate has fallen, as life and the games goes on, and we still play to honor those who have moved on to better places....

I think it is a good deal for both, as it certainly was not Pobox's last 50 oz. of silver, and from what I can see in his store, he has a good ratio of both. Wow, that 100 oz. silver bar of yours, I wish I had close to 4 grand to toss you a fair offer on that beauty, and I think your prices are fine for the rare high quality premiums you sell, and you do have best offers on those great items. I always say if something is real special to me, I can ask what I want to ask, my and all's God given right. I am negotiable on most items for sale, but there is always a couple special items I am not so willing to part with short of what I have it listed as....

I sent him by the way a nice 2010 half oz. proof gold eagle, and three UK Half sovereign proofs, and a 2008 Perth Mint year of the mouse 1/20th and a Isle of cat coin 1/25th, for the great Majestic silver kilo bar and that amazing 18 oz. Aztec silver set, as I am real partial to Aztec history....

And seeing how that most cool/under the radar silver company First(I like the design of the F clever) Majestic is based out of Canada of course, as it has three silver mines in none other than Mexico. So too cool that they base their silver art around the all to cool history of the Aztec and Mexico. Pobox posted the pictures of both a week or so back in this section, great silver IMO....
