Description: ....................................................AS THE PICTURES SHOW A 1863 GOLD 1/2 SOVEREIGN EARLY HEAD OF QUEEN VICTORIA--EXTRA GOLD FROM JEWELRY --- DISCOUNTED RARE OLD GOLD COIN--THE GOLD COIN THAT BUILT AN EMPIRE. Thank You: From my lifetime of experience as a coin dealer and hard-asset financial consultant and my research as author of the comprehensive best-seller: “Fiat Paper Money the History and Evolution of Our Currency©”. You have taken the first step toward understanding your money. Prepare Now: The value of our fiat money is changing fast. It buys less and less than ever before, and soon the basic unit—our dollar—will buy close to nothing. Only a few people voice concern. In the hundreds of currency collapses and hyperinflations I have examined, experts convincingly assure the people, "it can't happen here." The same expert opinions circulate widely today. I don't claim to be an expert or a prophet. But in my business, I have become a student of transactions of silver and gold coins. It has inspired my research. Thousands of old invoices with figures and signatures dating back to the 1960s clearly show how prices for those very coins have increased well over fifty-five fold. All I offer are my humble observations on the current evolution of our fiat money. To ignore the incontrovertible facts seems to me to be foolhardy. One must consider that our entire culture has been conditioned to believe that our money can and should lose value over time. Our psychology has changed to the point where we don't demand accountability for the loss of value. And there is no stop-gap for a sudden and total collapse of purchasing power. Dire consequences await the unprepared. © R. T. FOSTER FOSTER CONSULTING--MONEY & VALUE2189 BANCROFT WAYBERKELEY, CALIFORNIA 94704For 9 decades I have been buying and selling coins. Book is available on E-bay. Not only is Mr. Foster’s subject one of crucial importance; he states his case clearly, drawing on a wealth of primary and secondary sources, touching upon many diverse cultures, from the Chinese to the European to the North American. His professional familiarity with all types of currency and coinage grounds the book, making it refreshingly free of airy theories and complicated jargon, accessible to any intelligent reader. His style is brisk and lively, enriched by the author’s own varied life experience. It is a subject to be ignored at one’s own peril. I highly recommend it. Dr. Ruth S. Arnon HanhamPhD.
