Whatever works, but that is saying this to someone with more financial information than 99% of the US population. If you are comfortable with it...
To me gold is around its historical average in real terms and silver above. While the argument that silver is an "industrial" metal is valid, to...
Fair enough, though I think looking at what you hold does have to be taken into cosideration, at least to me. I don't want to hold all of my...
Winged, as a basic primer to ancients, (glad to see you here), Romans are the most common ancients you will probably find overall. "Greek" has...
Put in the basement if possible, drill the concrete and put in anchors and install bolts through the floor of the safe. If on wood, drill into the...
You are way ahead of the curve considering risk as only decline. Most financial people measure it as volatility. That is the definition of beta,...
I would agree with volatile, and with the fact that silver is historically high. Risk? I am not so sure any PM is the riskiest. Risk is the chance...
But, but, what if CNG has a group of Tyrian shekels you never knew you wanted, or a nice group of LRB just came up for auction, or a rare Sogdian...

Yes, I concur with Guy. No question is dumb or will insult us. We are just people who like talking about coins and helping others really. We are...
I know it sucks but putting truly valuable coins in a SD box is a reasonable precaution. I know we all like to have them near us, but be honest....
Well if you look at the last 10 years you have looked at the greatest period you could possibly choose in the history of PM. Like most small...
Bad idea, too many temperature swings. Coins are small, heck I have about 5,000 in a $75 a year SD box. Not all packaged up or slabbed, but...
The sad thing is that in most parts of the world, the shop wouldn't have accepted it. I have to always remember to sort through US $100 before I...
Except for the fact that probably 70% of Roman collectors buy based upon the obverse only. :) I find this so true as to not even mention it...

This would simply be mortgaging our future yet again. The Fed returns massive profits to the Treasury every year, and if you did this it would...
