<p>[QUOTE="adric22, post: 1569718, member: 38146"]Just to clarify for some people. I did not pull any money out of my 401K to buy bullion. I simply reduced my weekly contributions by from 6% of my income to 3% of my income. So all of my 401K funds are still intact and I'm still contributing 3% of my income. I have read many articles suggesting we should invest 20% of our retirement funds in precious metals. Well, as it is right now my precious metals is at about 1%. So I figure I'll buy extra precious metals for a while and once I get close to that 20% figure, I'll bump my 401K contributions back up to 6%.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the questions about the photo - those are 40% silver Eisenhower Dollars. They come with the little blue tokens from the mint. I decided to keep the tokens and use them as spacers between the coins. Granted, that means I can only fit 10 coins in a tube now instead of 20.
