You know the dollar is in deep "do-do" when even models can figure it out.

Going back and re-reading the above postings I find a lot of information and wisdom that many collectors and new comers should be reading. Free first hand advice is hard to find in a world full of hype and getting info from anyone who in NOT trying to sell you something is hard to find these days! It amazes me how the stock market is hyped every day on the news channels but seldom a word about precious metals? The average individual, who really has no knowledge of either, is fodder for the wolves in todays market.

Learning Russian might not be that bad of an idea. In truth I think Japan is going to rise like the Phoenix one day. But Pootie Poot has balanced his budget, eliminated his national debt and pays his bill on time. And Russia too is sitting on an ocean of oil.
Interesting date you choose for that Double Eagle. Hey!!!!! I know, maybe Benny is the next JP Morgan? ::)
That is one thing about French coins
You cannot get a 200 year old Napoleon at melt ;D

I have bought Napoleon III's at melt, and Louis XVI's at just over melt. These were nice VF-XF coins.

Actually I just bought it. Next I want a Saint from the same date. With this lot I just bought the only Saint was a 1914-D.
You know it never once occurred to me, until I saw your Double Eagle, that this sub prime debacle really started in mid or late 2007--- exactly one hundred years after the 1907 panic. There's even a story (or urban legend) that Morgan loaned a bank a truck load a gold coins so they could put them on display before opening their doors to a bank run. When the public rushed in and saw all the stacks of gold coins they kind a shrugged and went home. JP faked them out just like BB is trying fake everyone out.

You will send me one for melt plus 1.5% :o ;D

I wonder if we're going to see a different Ben when the election is over? He's going to be vilified just as Paul Volcker. Mr. "Timing is everything" Greenspan sailed away just in time and left Ben with two rusty nails and a pile of sawdust to work with. He doesn't have any good choices just as Volcker didn't. You can see it on his face. Everyday where I work they deliver the WSJ, FT, Investors Daily and NY Times. Almost everyday one of those papers has a picture of Ben on the front page. He looks like a man who knows he's going to the gallows.
But at least Volcker choose to save the currency. He's still vilified for all the pain it caused. But at least he's vilified for all the right reasons. Ben, if he keeps going this course is just going to be vilified.

I'll pay the registered post from Belgique, just send the Naps twa moi!
So see there are far more important matters of life than language or national feeling, but rather those of the sacred feminine. :o
Ah, any excuse to not send the Napoleons, then they are those narsty French etc. And when I was in Belgium, I know not what her language preference was, but I do believe I saw the loveliest woman I had ever seen anywhere in Europe. So see there are far more important matters of life than language or national feeling, but rather those of the sacred feminine. :o

Those are the Rolling Stones, not the bEagles.
It is a very good thing to have contingencies in case the proverbial Shtuff hits the fan. ;D
Record players and LPs are making a bit of a comeback, some people like the sound they produced, recently Emerson came out with 78 player, though not a very good one. Some stuff that was only burned onto CD's is now getting pressed to vinyl though. I have only one or two records, one is a 1965 mint edition(still wrapped) "Sound of Music" LP that I bought at an estate sale. I would love to play it, but would prefer a decent record player.
The one medium of music playing I despise are tapes, they lasted in the USA until the late 1990's, but I noticed in Europe as early as 1993 they were few and far between.
I should think a rat symbolizes prosperity because the little rodents always seem to gather where there is plenty.
I'm utterly afraid that in the long run, I'm going to end up spending my World coin collection at face value because the US dollar will be worth 1/100th of a Mexican Peso and merchants won't accept it anymore
So every voting day a duty to fullfil or pay fine or go to jail :(
If you want to really see the face of pure and total corruption read about Pope Alexander VI and his "animal house"
This is why I have asked and still ask: does inflation or deflation really matter anymore for the price of metals? Fear, uncertainly and upheaval just might be all that it takes to keep the price of metals climbing, at least over the long haul.If there is a pure deflation metals may lose out . But can you see the price of food coming down again with all those chinese wanting better food and having all those paper dollars ?
By chance, did you happen to study Latin when you were studying religion?
The reason I asked about the Latin is because on the back of the U.S Dollar it says" "Novus Ordo Seclorum." I was wondering if that really translates to New World Order
QuoteThe reason I asked about the Latin is because on the back of the U.S Dollar it says" "Novus Ordo Seclorum." I was wondering if that really translates to New World Order
From my Latin learned in church and from my French I knew this to be a wrong translation
A webcrawler gave me the right one in a minute
Novus Ordo Seclorum signifies "the beginning of the new American Æra," which commences from 1776.

I was in line last night at the super market and watched some woman, buying 10 gallons of milk and paying for it with a WIC check. After "We the People" paid for her "chill-drins" milk she then paid separately for all her yuppie crap: salad, tofu, fish, deli meat, deli subs, wine etc.
Who's going to support all the welfare bums in America when everyone in America becomes a welfare bum?
Why doesn't bush give us all a million dollar rebate? We can really stimulate the economy then.
Thanks August! That is the best advice I've heard for a long time, and one that I subscribe too.
Bottom line welfare state or not you have to try and take care of yourself
My neighbour is a cook and he is on unemployment money now for more then 10 years
He just goes fishing every day fish will bite

Hmm, something sounds a little fishy about a 10 year fishing trip. :o

Since he will have no extralegal pensions coming I really do not understand why he is not working now and then
It is perfectly allowed to work let's say 5 days a months if you pay taxes and use a temp interim agency
Don't you have a Department of Parked in the Park like we do? On any given day you can go by a florida park and see three or four county lumps sitting in their trucks reading newspapers. I've never seen any of them fishing but I'm sure it wouldn't be that much of a strain to put a newspaper and a fishing rod in the truck as long as they're wearing their back braces. :D
The welfare state is an amazing spectacle of the phony. Right now the democratlins are worried about helping the poor illegal immigrants by making the legal. They forget to mention the part about helping themselves to the taxes that 13 million of them would pay.
The Republicrats have all sorts of nationalistic reasons why illegals shouldn't be made legal. Including one that actually makes sense: It rewards law breakers. They seem to forget the part about Corporate Pig bags benefiting from cheap labor. Not to mention the leverage they can deploy against them. Is a meat packing plant using illegals really going to even think about a union? They also forget that it's not likely that a Mexican family can live in the U.S on Poppi's i $1.50 an hour wage. Welfare from the states makes up the difference which is the same thing as giving the welfare to some pig face CEO making $100 million a year.
Both sides seem the ignore the fact that the middle class is being driven to extinction from all this. That part at least in not too surprising since destroying the middle class and making Americans dependent on crumbs from strangers is exactly what the plan is.
The middle class in this country had better get with it. Especially the boomers. They were born into this world as spoiled brats. But they are no longer part of the equation except to the extent that they can be looted. They had better realize it soon or they will be leaving this world as arrogant paupers.

The USSR and China failed with centralization first because they were the two grossest examples of it. And they could not bring in any more totalitarianism to hold it together. How many times can you shoot someone for "breaking the rules?"
Some day the zombies in this country are going to run out of pills, their vision is going to clear for a few seconds and they will see what's really happened. Why, they might even become lucid enough to view their personal privacy as *private property* stolen from them. Inflation or deflation, I think that could be a really good moment to be sitting on metals.
