As long as it isn't one of my buried hordes I'm fine with it. :lol:
If you are waiting for the "correction" to buy you need to realize that the increasing prices ARE the correction.

2,000 years... those silvers look worse than the worst coppers/zincs I've ever seen. But the golds still look new...

Fascinating. Took me briefly into a part of history that I only knew sketchily. Hadn't heard about that revolt at all. A MAJOR deal. Thanks!

So if you plan on keeping your hoard for 2000 years it looks like your gold might have a better resale value.

Are there still people around able to make a ring like that without using computerized machines?
"The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent." John Kenneth Galbraith 1975
