Question by oliver s: Gold bullion coins?
When do you think is the best time to buy gold? It has been erratic and it seems like the trend is going down but the prediction is it will go up to $ 1000 per ounce. How does the feds interest hike affects the price of the gold?
Best answer:
Answer by iceburgI highly doubt that we will see gold @ $ 1000 per ounce. Gold is seen as a safe haven, so you will see gold prices rise in times of uncertainty . . . → Read More: Gold bullion coins?

Question by chasvanblom: Does the USA banking-system still BUY coins?
I remember, years ago when the USA BANKING SYSTEM began buying coins (I was told) to re-stock the metal-supply.
Does the USA banking-system still offer these BUY-BACK-offers to buy the coinage at a higher rate than face-value?
With the reduced demand of metals for American coinage, I wonder if this is still done (on rare occasion.)

Question by BBooty: Bu and Proof Coins Question?
Do you think it it’s better to buy a full set of state quarters or to use the same money to buy a couple of proof stae quarters. Even though you are getting a few proof coins, is that better than just getting all BU quarters.
Best answer:
Answer by Dr. MI’d honestly go for the proof – and if I’m gonna buy them proof, I’d only buy them if they are certified by PCGS or NGS or I’d buy them from the u.s. mint.
