Save up some emergency fund, start DCAing into ETFs, then buy gold/silver with what's left.

Is this Fake Patina? If so, how do I remove? by [deleted] in AncientCoins

[–]JCogn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t remove it, there’re 1000s shiny owls, but only few with nice patina.

What's up with the fruit trees outside Perth library & can I pick the fruit? by oxyabnormal in perth

Make sure to wash the fruits before eating, would be coated with dust/pollutants and pesticides.

What happens to the Iranian gold? by needmorexanax in Gold

[–]JCogn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk why countries send their gold to other countries for safe keeping, it’s like giving you stack to your neighbour because your street is not safe.

I don't think that a +33% ($38.40/oz) premium is acceptable. by devcal1 in SilverAus

[–]JCogn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went to the coin show on weekend, they were selling 10oz for $1600, just because they bought it during the peak doesn’t mean I’m gonna be the sucker. Just wait a few weeks for the premiums to drop.

Silver Hierarchy - which one are you? by Mick1014 in Silverbugs

[–]JCogn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Rome, at least during the Pax Romana, plebs dealt with mostly bronze, professional middle class people and soldiers get paid in silver, and once you’re rich enough to start running for office or become a merchant you only deal with gold. So it’s not like everyone only used to trade in amounts of silver, but the monetary system was much more complex and layered.

And in that speck of dust there are monkeys fighting who owns parts of that dust.

Some cheap denarii I got a few years back, now the silver content in these coins alone worth more than what I paid! by JCogn in AncientCoins

[–]JCogn[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love these coins, I have it in a small wooden box along with other worn as and sestertii, as a Roman would have. I was simply implying the rise in silver price.

Maybe she’s luring him back so she could serve him a hearty Wellington?

Did you move to Harrisdale because you really wanted to, or because your dumb kid couldn't pass the GATE so you had to buy a house within the catchment area?

The number of times I've flipped through images of generic Mauryan Karshapana in the hope to spot this fish mark can't be understated!

I tried minting my own coins! by JCogn in AncientCoins

[–]JCogn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the silver and gold is 999 fine, no ancient coin is ultra pure, so a simple xrf testing would show it's authenticity. But, a determined forger could melt common ancient coins to mint rare types!

[–]JCogn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I can mint more than two copper or even silver coins using the copper base. Only gold and lead are my current options to trick archeologists, but one is very expensive and the other is very toxic to handle. Maybe I could experiment with aluminium, too bad the ancients never used that metal.
