First up is the monthly precious metals column by Steven Cochran of Gainesville Coins [1]. Sorry, but I didn’t have time to prepare a feature article for today, as I’m out of state to attend a memorial service for my late mother, Barbara Marie Rawles [2]. I’m also assisting my siblings in clearing out her home, to prepare it for sale. Our regular posting schedule should resume by Wednesday.
