It would be pretty tough to peddle some of those coins on the QT , they're just too rare and valuable. If you sold enough to buy a new truck an armed IRS agent would probably be waiting for you at your door step when you got home. If that's true about New York I would transport and make "arrangements" to have them found else where. Trying to sell these on the hush would probab

Of course the IRS will want their "fair share"!! Capital gains at least. The real question is how do you determine your cost basis? I would right off the purchase of the entire farm it was found on as well as all the expenses necessary to maintain the tractor that turned the hoard up in the cornfield.

You should be able to get spot price for coins just about anywhere now but expect a retailer to use the .715 factor vs .725 for circulated coins. Face value cost will be much higher if buying.

Only if you're lazy. Silver in any recognizable form will bring a 25% premium in any open market. If you want to go to a retail store or refiner and sell it then you are setting yourself up to get screwed.

The dollars relationship to other currencies always goes back to that leper with the most fingers analogy. The difference now is that others are beginning to realize that the disease is contagious and the simplest solution is to avoid the leper in the first place. When that begins to happen , gold's relation to the new preferred currency will be what really matters but if you have none , you

You have people getting paid $20/hour to flip burgers , do you think that is good or bad? People like to talk about inflation nonsense in terms of products which is really only an obvious portion of underlying "surroundings". When you have wage inflation it is in a whole different level of seriousness.

Sorry to see this , it's a significant loss to the detecting community. He set an example in detecting too many have trouble living up to.

This has actually become an interesting thread. Nokta has set the standard for customer service and interaction with Dilek's presence and clearly there are a lot of other brand fanboys who seem to have a problem with it. I think a while back there was a representative from Fisher , Scott something or other , who tried to maintain an interactive presence with Fisher users but I haven't s

It's actually hilarious , Carl , observing the pot , the frying pan and the burner all yell black at one another about high tech "advancements" on the only forum that rivals the Leatherwall for obsolescence.

Steve , I think we pretty much said the same thing, it just didn't take me 300 words to say it. My point is that just like the Equinox did not make all other detectors "obsolete", Minelab's hype that

I suppose the Minelab fanboys can say the guy running the Manticore doesn't know how to run it which has some merit since it just hit the streets but , seems at first blush that Minelab has just about caught up to Deus and their technology. Like Jesse , I'm less and less impressed with every video I see.

"shoveler........... The percent of EQX failures is truly not that high. EMPLOY THE WARRANTY!!!! That's what it is for!!!"
I'm a skeptic Tom or , maybe "not that high" is a relative term , but of the 4 people I know that use/used a NOX , we have gone through 11 machines and 5 of those never saw water. Warranties are fine if they are still in effect but no one now

I would think if a company spent $1.7 M on a product that had a poor record of dependability and build quality the ethical course of action would be to recall the faulty product. The recourse for the victims of that poor initial investment would be a class action lawsuit.

If indeed ML has taken the similar tech of the NOX and MC and incorporated a 2d screen into the upgraded NOX , it will be an attractive option and will equally completely destroy the resale value of the current NOX detectors out there. Hopefully they would have the decency to offer a trade in option

Spot is not!
Spot is essentially set by the COMEX , paper traders that buy/sell massive quantities they don't actually have backed up by physical material. It's been going on for decades and every commissioner is going to rein it in but surprisingly it never happens. All the paper trading issues like SLV or AGQ are based on spot so they are not going to correct the fraud anytime soon

Sellers will get what the market will bear. Dealers that buy wholesale have overhead and shipping and of course none of that has increased. Wouldn't you sell for the most someone would pay? I sold a few hundred ounces last year for #30 a pop and the buyers were tickled to get the goods. Lack of inventory , whether real or concocted , is a great factor in the supply demand equation.

Gold and silver are globally accepted as a means for storing wealth. The US Dollar is the world's reserve currency and , as badly as it has been debased , it is simply the leper with the most fingers in the realm of currencies.You may see $100 silver when the world's reserve currency is based in China instead.
