Good info. Years ago we were riding ATV's at Appalachia Bay on Keystone lake. Stopped on a hill and walked down to a beach area with the kids, the Monarchs were there, pretty amazing sight, thousands of them. Back before the days of smart phones and cameras in your pocket, sure wish I had a...
Thanks for the clarification, you are one of the few that actually know the difference, and can appreciate the effort. If you are on FB he posts regularly in the Oklahoma and Tulsa woodworking groups. If you can't find him let me know and I will get you his info.
I've decided I have held my silver eagles long enough. Looking to sell about 100 of them, looks like Tulsa Gold and Silver is a good place to sell, what should I expect from them typically spot minus some percent?
There is a guy that posts a bit on the Tulsa Woodworkers FB group. He does high end work, Twin Cedars Woodworks.
Not sure you understand what "no veneer" means for a project like this cost wise? It is very typical that the cases would be made out of ply of sorts, face frames, doors, drawer...

I agree, it's a MecTec, I had a 9mm for the Glock platform. I liked the idea of it better than shooting it. It was very "clunky" if that is a way I could describe it. Also very heavy...
$1.25 in 1964 is equivalent to $12.51 in 2024 dollars.
$1.25 invested in the S&P in 1964 would be ~$394 today.
$1.25 in 1964 would buy about 1oz of silver, which would be worth ~$27 today.
No building of wealth with silver, and the versatility and convenience that was never used had a hefty...
3 fund ETF portfolio, stupid simple, paces the S&P. People lose money because they do stupid things, panic when there are moves down, get a hot tip from their friend that "knows their stuff" etc.
There is an old saying, your worst enemy when investing, is staring at you in the mirror...

I like hot, I crave hot at times. I grow a variety, will have some reapers again this year. We dry them and make powder to use in a variety of dishes. Chex mix with a tiny bit of reaper powder is addictive...
