Why is the Price of Silver Bullion so Volatile?

August 29, 2019 by Colonial Acres Coins

Last updated on May 2nd, 2024 at 03:34 pmLast Updated on May 2, 2024 Posted by Colonial Acres Coins Since the advent of civilization and especially the development of trade, precious metals have been indispensable in the lives of people. Initially, precious stones and metals, like silver bullion, were merely possessions that represented one’s stature in society. Today they have evolved to the point where they are also considered investment tools used to secure the economic stability of individuals and nations. Silver, however, has a dubious position among precious metals. In fact, the question many budding investors tend to ask…

The Role of Inflation on Collectible Gold & Silver Bullion

August 28, 2019 by Colonial Acres Coins

Last updated on May 2nd, 2024 at 03:34 pmLast Updated on May 2, 2024 Posted by Colonial Acres Coins For some people, coin collection is a mere hobby but for others, it’s a far more serious affair.

Since inflation affects other investment tools it is reasonable to expect that it will also affect silver and gold bullion coins as well. Thankfully, for investors, this expectation does not reflect the reality as…

Give Peace a Chance! Silver Canadian Coin of John Lennon and Yoko Ono

August 23, 2019 by Colonial Acres Coins

Last updated on May 2nd, 2024 at 03:34 pmLast Updated on May 2, 2024 Posted by Colonial Acres Coins In the summer of 1969, the world-famous Beatles singer John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono held a unique demonstration as a peaceful objection to the Vietnam War which was taking place at the time.

Don’t Fall for these Coin Collecting Myths

August 22, 2019 by Colonial Acres Coins

Last updated on May 2nd, 2024 at 03:34 pmLast Updated on May 2, 2024 Posted by Colonial Acres Coins Coin collecting is an intricate art, and like many similar activities, the industry has its own myths, some of which could derail a coin collector from the path of attaining that envy generating collection. Legitimate Canadian coin dealers will discourage the proliferation of these myths. In other words, a dealer who supports these myths is likely to either be a non-expert or a shady dealer.  Either way that’s not the sort of person you want to be dealing with, especially when…

August 20, 2019 by Colonial Acres Coins

Last updated on May 2nd, 2024 at 03:34 pmLast Updated on May 2, 2024 Posted by Colonial Acres Coins Modern travel has definitely evolved to great heights… literally. Air travel was, for a long time, considered the imaginative musings of dreamers until it became reality. Afterwards, the question became, how far can one aircraft fly successfully? This led to the pushing of boundaries and subsequently the first transatlantic flight which took place in 1919. It is this tremendous feat that’s commemorated by the 1 oz.

As Countries Move Away from Paper Money, Are Canadians Following?

August 19, 2019 by Colonial Acres Coins

Last updated on May 2nd, 2024 at 03:34 pmLast Updated on May 2, 2024 Posted by Colonial Acres Coins A couple of decades ago a cashless economy seemed like a fantastic idea that only belonged in science fiction, but today it is a reality that exists in many countries and one that others, like Canada, are moving towards.
