Metals, She Wrote: For All the Fanboys and Fangirls

I’ve shared a few of my passions on this blog- Aggie football, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and of course, bullion. I was raised wearing maroon and white and listening to good music. For any Aggie legend to appear on a shiny silver or gold round would mean my limited supply of paper currency would be gone…

Metals, She Wrote: Gimme All Your Gold!
