"A historical narrative and photographic depiction of former and present Great Lakes fleets."

We Americans are never taught anything about gold and silver through our education system. That's why many gold dealers are able to easily rip off unsuspecting buyers of gold and silver.Financial advisors and journalists aren't giving you the truth either, as to how gold and silver fit into a properly diversified portfolio. So naturally, people are looking for answers."Buy Gold and Silver Safely" provides those answers by explaining why gold and silver need to be a part of everyone's portfolio, and helping people learn about buying or selling gold and silver... the safe way.

Silver has been called both the "investment of the decade" by billionaire Eric Sprott and the "Devil's Metal" by John Levin in the recent past. Those who have been brave enough to collect, invest, or stack silver can certainly attest to both perspectives. The precious metal skyrocketed in price to a high of $49.80 per ounce on the 25th of April 2011, before plummeting back down to the narrow trading range where it has languished for the better part of seven years. This has provided collectors, investors and stackers with an ideal opportunity to accumulate the metal, or equivalent investments, at historically low prices. In stark contrast to the price of the metal has been investment demand, which has been relentless. This investment demand has spurred a plethora of new silver bullion coin releases that have been a boon to collectors. The intent of this book is to provide a comprehensive guide for silver enthusiasts of all types, including collectors, investors and stackers, and all levels of expertise, from those looking at joining the ranks of silver enthusiasts to silver veterans. The guide is comprehensive in terms of both breadth and depth. Specifically, it contains well over two hundred pages of silver content specifically targeted at collectors, investors and stackers, including in excess of 400 original photos of silver coins from over forty countries. The book also lays out the case for silver, demonstrating in a clear and concise manner how the price of the underlying asset has very little downside and extraordinary upside if specific events come to fruition. Rather than dealing in generalities, the guide details specific accumulation strategies for all three types of silver enthusiasts. The 2018 edition is the first edition of what will be an annual release, expanded and updated based on feedback from the silver community.

This historic reference work for British coins is still the only catalog to feature every major coin type from Celtic to the Decimal coinage of Queen Elizabeth II, arranged in chronological order and divided into metals under each reign, then into coinages, denominations and varieties. All decimal coinage since 1968 is listed in a separate volume, available as an independent publication. The catalog includes up-to-date values for every coin, a beginner’s guide to coin collecting, numismatic terms explained and historical information about each British coin, from our earliest (Celtic) coins, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Norman coins, the coins of the Plantagenet Kings, the Houses of Lancaster and York, the Tudors and Stuarts, to the more modern Milled coinage, minted for the first time in 1561 during the reign of Elizabeth I. From the earliest of times, coins have been used by states or monarchs to communicate with people; Coins of England and the United Kingdom is therefore not only a reference book for collectors, but a fascinating snapshot of British history, illuminating its economics, technology, art, politics and religion. As always, the content has been updated and improved throughout by the editors, with numerous new images and revisions of key sections.
