>>>What about regional coin/gun shows as a place to buy or sell? I think I'll visit the next one I see advertised.<<

I have heard that since there are competing dealers there, one is more likely to get a fair deal. There's one of those things a couple of times a year almost within walking distance of my house.

China Minmetals took a run at Noranda (now part of Xstrata) in 2005....Cdn Gov. stepped in to review the deal and it went dead....so I wouldn't hold my breath at a China co. taking a run at Teck

If markets are not orderly, there is no reason to believe that the physical gold and silver markets will be stable and small and medium dealers will have liquidity.

My local bullion shop charges an inspection fee of 2-3% when buying coins that did not originate from that shop.
