Chasing low mintage wonders will NOt get you a medal….nor profits these days, see Congressional Library and Jackie42 Gold bu s

For a long time Pd was cheaper then Pt and Mfg. moved to it, as Pd spiked Russia cut production Pt dove and was used more and EV used less Pd. Now, Pd has also become an economic metal. I’d get the 24 APD, but refuse, refuse to be abused by excessive pricing. USM is a biz as they pulled all the Pd as prices fell because they were in it deep

Certain someone’s sure hate him.
How could anyone hate Taylor!?
That’s like saying that they hate disco! (while secretly grooving to Stayin Alive)!!
I’m done my friend..
Out!

Rare is IF you ever were able to purchase a AEPd for any amount close to spot. From day o e profiteering, I got the 2018, don’t need any more O guess. We’ll see

No fight, just imo regarding EV’s being more energy efficient and better for the environment in the overall, they are not.
I don’t go for the “anything that hurts”, mentality, so I’ll push back on it, that’s all.
Btw, Musk, as much as you hate him is looking like a hero at the moment, at least in the realm of space travel technology, and rescue missions that involve his company SpaceX.

100% agree

Not hard for me. And does anyone factor in the ‘environmental damage’ required to dig up planet earth for the rare earth minerals to manufacture all those big (and heavy) batteries? I guess the brain challenged just think they are saving the planet as long as they don’t see the impact of all the mining. I have no problem with electric vehicles in highly populated areas as I think for short trips and such it could be a viable solution to your need to move. But since I like to travel, I’ll stick with my high performance combustible engines to move me. Plus I don’t trust parking a lithium battery (also known as a combustible IED) in my garage. The last thing I need in my life is to wake up in the middle of the night to the shrill of my smoke alarms.

DaveSWFL,

Yeah they’re so rare that anyone can easily find one for sale on the net. ‘Rare’ is used so often with coins, and other items, that I honestly don’t know what the word means anymore. Lol.

A selfie? Oh that’s Martin lol..
No problem with mining, but when you dig up the battery elements, then return the more toxic version back to the ground within a few years is weird.
And here I thought that you were a fan of anything spaceflight related. But as you say “anything that hurts Elon I’m for.” says a lot about you…

” SpaceX will bring home two stranded astronauts, consolidating its position as America’s dominant space company”

Pulled into a reasonable future with measured progress, or shoved into progressive quicksand? I’ll go with the former…
I can appreciate that you Major Dx3 in your unique way, have agreed to every point that I had made above!
A bit of advice on prop buzz. When choosing a house to live in, try to steer clear(while driving your gasser)of nearby airports, crops, and NFL stadiums!
