My new book, Fiat Paper Money-The History and Evolution of our Currency©, [available on e-bay auctions] documents the evolution of paper currency since the first national notes of 1024 A.D.   Perhaps the most important discovery from our research is how gold and silver coins have proven a consistent and reliable way to circumvent the inevitable collapse of fiat paper notes and the personal devastation that accompanies their loss of value. ***The value of gold and silver coins endures-they have always provided.    Conversely all fiat monetary units eventually and always become totally worthless.   The same goes for anything that depends on fiat units for its value, whether stocks, bonds, derivatives, annuities, any paper or electronic obligations.©****In the spirit of George Washington himself over 200 years ago, be careful not to trade something that is tangible for something that is intangible.   RALPH FOSTER

BEWARE OF THE SLABBED COIN

Sixty-one years ago as an 8 years old, I was buying and sorting through rolls of coins from the local banks.  Countless thousands of cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, halves, and other coins have trickled through my fingers.  Over the years I built up a substantial inventory and eventually started my own business.  The physical handling of each coin reveals a wealth of information.  I learned about the "feel" and "sound" of a coin.  Today, nearly all the coin books warn us not to handle coins—they might get soiled, fingerprinted, or worse, dropped on a hard surface and damaged!  Instead we have developed all manner of holders, inert plastic sleeves, and hard plastic shells to contain our coins.  With each step, we have further removed ourselves from the most critical aspects of those coins—how they feel in our hands, weigh, sound, and glimmer in varying degrees of light direct on their surface.  Today I am an eBay Power Seller, [ralpht.foster] and have a solid high volume each month.  Yet most of my coins are still sold near the melt value of their metallic content.  And I question the almost universal obsession with these holders.  Whenever I encounter a coin encapsulated in plastic-- regardless of who put it there—I have to wonder as to its authenticity.  In my experience I have seen many long-time dealers fooled and defrauded by some of the latest slabbed counterfeits--in holders bearing the names of established reputable grading companies.  A true coin will always ring true--long after slabs, grading services and eBay itself have passed into history.© 

Respectfully, Ralph T. Foster
