Investing in 1946 – 2012 US Nickels for their Metal Content
A US Nickel contains 75% copper and 25% nickel.The 1938 through 1942 D versions of the nickel are also made of the same composition, but generally are sold for a premium over their melt value due to rarity. As of Feb. 2012, the melt value of a Nickel is 5.6 cents. It costs the US Mint around 9 cents to make a nickel. They are looking to change the composition and sooner or later it is going to happen. There is no sorting that is needed for Nickels right now. Once the composition is changed, people will have to start sorting out the 75 / 25% Nickels from the cheap ones.

Jim Rogers: Audit the Fed, Then Abolish It
Yahoo Finance Tech Ticker – December 10th, 2009 Count famed investor Jim Rogers as an ardent support of Congressman Ron Paul’s effort to audit the Fed. The Fed is “the only institution in the world I know of that doesn’t expect to be audited,” Rogers says in the accompanying video. “It’s incomprehensible to me these people are saying they have no reason to be audited — they must have done something wrong, must have something to hide.” A longtime critic of Ben Bernanke and his predecessor, Rogers goes a (big) step further than merely auditing the Fed, suggesting we get rid of the central bank altogether. “We don’t need the Fed. The Fed is making our lives miserable,” the famed financier says. “The Fed is printing huge amounts of money, which we’ll have to pay for sometime. The Fed is borrowing gigantic amounts of money on their balance sheet…the numbers are so staggering that this is going to have ramifications before too much longer.” With an eye on history, Rogers notes the current Fed is America’s third central bank: the First Bank of the US was created in 1791 with a 20-year charter. The Second Bank was created in 1816 with the same term. The current Fed was chartered in 1913. Arguably, the current Fed is the nation’s fourth central bank if you count the National Banking Act of 1863-64, but Rogers’ point remains the same: America survived and prospered without a central bank for long periods and can do so again. If Rogers is right, this won’t be an academic …

Steve Deeds From Morgan Gold On IRA’s
About Steve Deeds Owner and President of Morgan Gold During a career that has spanned five decades, Steve Deeds has risen to become one of the most well-known and highly respected experts in the United States coin market of the 21st century. He began his career as a professional numismatist in 1963 when, as a high school student, he managed a local coin shop in his home town of Inglewood, California. Steve developed such an interest in the coin market that, while still in his teens, he decided to open his own business to sell coins to the collecting public. In 1972 Steve moved to New York City and opened a coin dealership on the corner of 57th Street and 6th Avenue. At the height of the boom that followed upon the heels of the government’s lifting the ban on private ownership of gold, his coin sales surpassed the 0 million mark in a single calendar year, 1973, (in 2010 this would be 8 million adjusted for inflation). Returning to California by the mid-1970s, Steve partnered with two other professional numismatists in the acquisition and sale of what was, at that time, the largest rare coin transaction in history: the LaVere Redfield Hoard containing more than half a million uncirculated Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars. Following his success with the Redfield Hoard, Steve became one of the pioneers in the recovery of United States gold coins that the federal government had sent to Europe to help fund the Allied effort during both world wars. He continues to be …
