  • Rare Pattern From When Aluminum Outranked Gold


    Aug 19 — Aluminum is so ubiquitous today that it may not strike you today as a metal that would belong on the "precious metals" list or that even has much value.

In fact, for a time during the 1800s, aluminum was more valuable than gold!

  • SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITY: CLASSIC SILVER COMMEMORATIVES
