How to convince my love one....

Thankfully my wife is supportive of my buying habits but if she wasn't there is a reason we have joint accounts and then separate accounts. If there was an issue I would simply spend only my personal account funds and never the joint accounts funds and I never ask or care what she spends her personal funds on so I don't think we'd have an issue. Not sure if you can go this route or not but it may work.

I don't think it is the investment part that bothers her as much as you are treating it as a personal hobby rather than that. Go to a scrap gold dealer and ask them to let you know when someone turns in some nice gold jewelry, and have her go and look at it with you, There is nothing wrong with her wearing your investment in the meantime to using it in retirement. Yes, I have done just this, and it works well, IMO.

The only way to buy 40% is for face value at the bank, ie from the teller's trays or roll searches.

 

I was helping my brother find alot junk silver for below melt back when it was between about 12-18 dollars. I think he wife was very skeptical. When silver was over $45 he sold some of what he had in the bank and was able to pay all of the taxes on their brand new car with PROFIT. I think that convinced his wife

 

Dang Eddie. So good to see you......

OP, you've been given some sage and solid advice from seasoned collectors and investors on these boards. You, my friend, are dabbling in regions "unknown". The 40% is just junk as far as I'm concerned, and if you didn't buy it at a low price you're gonna be hurting investment wise. Stick with the one ounce silver pieces as I believe they will be your best bet at achieving a profit in the future. Commodities are shaky to say the least, and silver (at the moment) is trending downward. Stand your ground. You've made a move. Things gonna change.
