90% U.S. Silver Bags - Junk Silver
One of the most popular ways to invest in silver bullion is with the 90% U.S. silver bags. Misleadingly called “junk” silver bags, this name developed in the 1970s and was used to describe a bag of average circulated silver coins, meaning no rare coins were included.
All silver coins are struck in 1964 or earlier with 90% purity. Each bag contains either all dimes, quarters, or half dollars. No mixed bags. For all dollar bags, call for price and availability. Full bags with $1000 face may be shipped as 2 sealed half bags.
Premium for Half DollarsPlease note that customer purchases of bags of half dollars carry a premium added to the pricing shown on the right as follows: Full bag-$200 premium, Half Bag-$100 premium, Quarter Bag-$50 premium, and Tenth Bag-$20 premium.
Whether you are in Prague or Switzerland or the UK, there is never a problem recognizing the value of a Krugerrand. With more than 54 million coins now in circulation the Krugerrand is truly one of the most liquid gold bullion coins on the market. If you want portfolio protection that can last a lifetime, the Krugerrand is an excellent choice. Over 46 million ounces in circulation since its inception.

Metals Rise as Dollar Drops, Manufacturing Grows
NEW YORK (FEB. 2, 2010) Metals prices rose sharply Monday following fresh signs of strength in the manufacturing sector.

Gold also is getting a boost from a seasonal increase in demand, said Jeffrey Nichols, a senior economic adviser for retail precious metals dealer Rosland Capital. The gold jewelry market in China is seeing a traditional pickup in demand ahead of the country's new year's celebration, Nichols said…

U.S. Unemployment Woes Lead to Trend of Gold Investment
NEW YORK (JAN. 12, 2010) – Gold has moved up sharply in recent weeks and therefore triggered more worldwide client interest in the yellow metal. Jeffrey Nichols, Senior Economic Advisor to Rosland Capital, today made the following comments on the outlook for the price of gold:
“Gold has moved up sharply in recent weeks, driven largely by rising pessimism about U.S. economic prospects – particularly the politically sensitive unemployment situation – and the rising likelihood that the Fed will maintain it’s near zero Fed funds interest rate policy for some time to come.
