Included in my brother's estate was a substantial assortment of gold coins. Kruger rands, American Double Eagles, British sovereigns, and Canadian Maple Leafs. When I sold the coins the Maple Leafs sold at the smallest discount to spot gold prices of all the coins in the collection. The Maple Leafs are the purest gold bullion coins currently available in the market - five 9s fine i.e. 99.999% purity. I can't tell you the premium that would be paid upon purchasing Maple Leafs. Maple Leafs are available in sizes ranging from one tenth of an ounce up to one full ounce. The Kruger rands and British sovereigns sold at a much larger discount to the spot gold price than did the Maple Leafs. The double eagles were not bullion coins; they were commercial $20 strikes for general circulation from various years in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (none were numismatic rarities).

Don't mock the Blackberry. As far as I know Blackberry's encryption has never been hacked or compromised in any manner. I can still use mine and I absolutely love the keyboard. I detest any device that requires touchscreen manipulation.

Anybody here ever read 'A Brief History Of Time' and............understand it? I did and.........I didn't.

@JohnSmith69, Your point about travel is exactly what perplexes me about Toronto Sweetie's various names. She traveled with Art using one identity and returned to Slovenia using a different identity. Dual nationality I can readily accept but not international travel using two different identities, the implication being that a false passport was used. That suggests familiarity with some sort of underworld. As suggested in another comment, there is more than usual stripper stuff going on with this woman. Whatever it is, I am done with the matter and I will never get to the bottom of it.
