Why stray away if you have the good old Approximity charts? http://gold.approximity.com/since1885/Silver_GBP_LOG.html http://gold.approximity.com/since1968/Silver_EUR.html http://gold.approximity.com/since1885/Silver_GBP.html

Venezuela, another (hyper-)deflation in Southamerica? Oh, wait! Yes, it really is inflation - as is in 99% (or more?) of all cases. EDIT: Sorry, RH, I have to do this!

Silver says 'adios', and leaves the chart.

Oooops. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN0614064020100107 But, but, but!

be careful who you listen to Exactly.

According to the Sinclair model, gold is pretty darn cheap here. http://gold.approximity.com/since1970/Gold..._Price_LOG.html

We seem to be on track: http://gold.approximity.com/gold-silver_watch.html

More violent for the paper bugs, I suppose.

Anyone else thinking that we put in a bottom here? http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...RLKFo&pos=5

My sympathy!

These are London AM Fixings.

Here are some longer term charts: http://gold.approximity.com/since1885/ (USD, GBP) http://gold.approximity.com/since1968/ (USD, GBP, EUR)

I am not going to sell any gold or any silver anytime soon (unless I have to buy necessary things and I have no other means of paying, of course).

The sheeple are confused. Let them buy plasma TVs.

Or, say, you have someone in Europe you can send them to.

Government issued gold and silver coins as 'legal tender' are a double edged sword. On the one hand, I think you are right and they will always be more readily accepted than rounds or bars. This is true for Eagles, Buffaloes, Sovereigns, Britannias, Maples, Krugerrands, and Euros. On the other hand, if they're legal tender, you generally don't really own the metal - the government owns it, and you are not allowed to melt them down. In other words, the government still has a say in it.

If the market situation is somewhat 'normal', then I'd say you possibly won't be able to sell coins at a premium to spot, especially not when you sell to a professional trader/shop. However, in 2008 when the price of COMEX paper silver dropped over 50% in no time, but coins/bullion were somewhat scarce, you'd certainly been able to sell at a premium. But that was an extreme situation. In a permanent high price environment, I would not expect this.

I got one of these for Christmas: I didn't even know that Silver Buffaloes existed. But even better, while the design looks somewhat modern, it's actually a century old. See the 1913 nickel below (also got one of these ).

An ounce will be an ounce, no matter what. It'll always buy something.

In that case I'd recommend 100% bullion.

I am almost embarrassed to write it, but it seems as if we're "filling a gap" here. http://gold.approximity.com/gold-silver_watch.html
