-Question from a listener: A few weeks ago you mentioned the Columbia 1/2 dollar and it sparked my interest because of their lower mintage and the fact that they seem to be available in graded conditions for around a few hundred bucks. My free cash for coin investment is generally $100 – $300 every other month; Should I focus on older US minted commemorative coins in a graded condition as my best strategy? Is collecting a set generally more desirable and will it fetch a greater return? For example, should I focus on collecting all of the Daniel Boone Commemorative coins in MS 64 or MS 65? What are your thoughts regarding modern US commemorative’s?

At around 24:00 Andrew comes to the conclusion that the Greek finance guy might be a closet "one of the boys" (jewbanker) because the minister's solution is very banker friendly. (Hegelian dialectic in action. The proposed solution to the (OH NO!) Greece leaving the EU is the solution that the banks want.) I had the same initial thought when this new (communist) Greek party attracted so much positive media attention, in contrast to the nationalist Golden Dawn party.
