Invest in Copper! Keep your investments close at hand. Buy copper and silver coins, bars, and ingots. Visit the Copper Cave! Wholesale Silver Jewelry By: Aaron Rome Craft fairs and outdoor festivals -- generally in the summer time. You can usually get a table at these events for $20-$50 for the day. You will want to have a good selection of inventory; if you do you can usually gross anywhere between $150-$400 (based on my experience). If you have. Your sales will be directly related to your quantity of inventory. Winter bazaars, church sales, holiday festivals -- Oct-December. Check the local paper. Many churches have these annual events and tables are pretty inexpensive. These events are nice because people come to spend $ on gifts. Home-based jewelry parties. You can host an event yourself, or have a friend host it and give her some free stuff as compensation. I like to have a good friend or relative host - that way I am pretty sure they will follow through. Ask

Gold Jewelry

There are few metals that can be said to be older than gold and in fact according to historians the discovery of gold took place well before the year 3600 B.C. The lure of and the lust for gold has continued unabated since the very early days when gold was first discovered and many people, rich and poor will completely lose their heads at the prospect of owning sufficiently large amounts of gold whose yellow colored beauty dazzles everyone and this is why gold jewelry has a special place in everyone’s minds and hearts. Earliest Users Of All Gold Jewelry It seems like the earliest users of gold jewelry were the Egyptians and examples of such use can be seen in the many rock carving and paintings that are found all over Egypt.

The Case for Investing in Gold Today IF YOU'RE LOOKING  to store wealth in something both rare and secure today, you will find nothing to match gold. Gold always tends to reward cautious savers in times of financial stress, because it is both hard to destroy and tightly supplied. In short, it is the very opposite of debt. Gold doesn't corrode or tarnish, and it's relatively useless to industry. That's why almost all of the entire stock of gold mined over the last 4,000 years remains unused today. It exists as either jewelry or bullion, both of which act to store wealth and value. The world's total store of gold now stands near 160,000 tonnes. But the metal is so dense that, if formed into a single a cube, it would have an edge barely 22 yards in length. That wouldn't even cover a tennis court. Gold vs. Paper-Money Inflation New gold is being found and mined today at the rate of some 2,600 tonnes per annum. That's a modest increase of 1.6% per year to the ab

Coin collecting is very fascinating; especially if you happen to be an American and are interested in collecting penny coins because there are a few very interesting such coins available that will make your collection stand out. If we consider collecting penny coins, then Lincoln head penny is arguably one such penny coin that you can find in everyones collection. First Penny To Hit The Market Was Released In 1909 This penny was first minted in the year 1909 and has since been a part of every collection of penny coins. The Lincoln head penny is certainly an exceptional option in regard to  collecting penny coins  and today it is very valuable as well.

Those were unique pennies characterised by an Indian head and are difficult to find and so deserving of a collector’s choice of penny coins. Before you get stuck into collecting penny coins you should be aware of a few

Evolution of Currency

At the most elementary level, a five dollar bill is not actually more valuable than a one dollar bill since they are made of the same material. From a practical perspective, any paper currency is arguably less useful than a single penny, though we still value those bills hundreds of times more. In the modern world, enough people recognize the perceived value of paper money over that of a single penny, but this wasn’t always the case. On the grand scheme of things, currency is a relatively new invention. How new? Well, mankind has had spoken language for nearly 100,000 and written language for the better part of 5,000 years. The earliest known currency, Chinese Cowry shells were first given as a gift a mere 3,300 years ago. And coins of precious metal? Those are a spry 2,600 years old. This of course, brings up the question, what did people do before money? The Pre-Monetary Era The answer to that question is arguing. Well, arguing in the form of bartering. In the time before money,
