However, certain vintages of quarters are not to be thrown around in such a cavalier manner. Any quarter made in 1964 or earlier…

Gold just hit an all-time high in Renminbi, the Chinese currency. I have been reporting on the Shanghai gold exchange on our social media for a little over a year, and I believe I was one of the first precious metals analysts to do so. Well, now we see why other gold markets are important….
