Too important for a sticky.
Should have a dedicated board, that could include both bullion and numismstic fakery.
Could be set up similar to the Tracking Threads header.

This is important info.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

silvercoins.org in particular seems to be a good idea. One site promoting collection of all submitted info to help users, with images and descriptions provided.

I like the "own board" idea.
This space for rent.

Great subforum and thread, thanks.
Always drink upstream from politicians, they tend to foul things up.

Where is Nates site?

Nate's site is www.fakebullion.com. With all the detailed info he has, that site should be listed at the top of this thread along with the other sites.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).
NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.
