I think a lot of people like the protection of the slabs. I know I am one and a couple others have mentioned it as well. By “buy the coin not the...
I tried that with some ASEs and Maple Leafs and for some reason they all turned ugly purple :(. Then I put them in 2x2s. [ATTACH]
Dude I love those 1/10th oz Gold rounds! So much smarter to collect than the Uber expensive 1 oz Gold rounds.
I keep mine in simple capsules. I know the first one isn’t 1 oz round but the principle is the same and I didn’t have any 1 oz capsuled round...
Do you collect old silver commemoratives? Like the 90% silver 1920s-1930s half dollar state commemoratives? :D
Yours is close to DCA but not quite since as you said yourself you’re buying less at the current prices. DCA would be buying the same amount (in...
As far as I’m concerned a slab adds value solely to do being in a slab and protected. As for MS70 coins I think they are overrated. I don’t...
I have a book on coinage & currency in the Roman Empire and one thing I know for sure is that: 1 oz of gold was NOT the value of a slave. I will...
Not really. Because it’s been over $16/ozt for almost a year which means you’ve bought very little silver this year whereas anyone doing DCA...
From Biblical times to as recent as the 1930s Silver & Gold were at close to that ratio. That is thousands of years.
I know that’s the point. A double eagle is almost 1 oz of gold. If you took in 20 silver dollar’s worth of silver (15.4 oz) you couldn’t even...
It did change greatly over time. But regardless of specifics I think we can all agree: the silver to gold ratio was lower historically than now...
Well I mean how “volatile” can it be if it maintained a ratio of roughly 16:1 over thousands of years? But silver was also more widely used in...
I was reading an article about Biblical currency and it mentioned that back then (1st century CE) the silver to gold ratio was approximately 16-20...
I was already assuming in my example that there would be a flat dollar amount purchase every month.
Yeah because it does work with silver. If you buy the same amount of ANYTHING over a period time it will average out over that period. If you...
I'm not conflating collecting, hoarding, and stacking with investing. Yes I collect but my silver & gold bullion is something separate from that....
I don't really like Ebay. I've seen all kinds of Youtube videos about people who bought silver & gold coins/bullion on Ebay and they turn out to...
That's not true. That's not how dollar cost averaging works out. There have been MANY studies proving that it is an effective form of investment...
Nah he isn’t really into coins. I’m just going to use my ASE as a piece to mess around with. Like if I want to show someone how acid testing works.
