<p>[QUOTE="ClevelandRocks, post: 1769311, member: 36533"]So Medorman brings up a very good point. The expression "if its not in your home you don't own it" does get thrown around a lot but does not get challenged. Part of the reason people throw around quotes like "you don't own it if you can't hold it" or "your coins are not safe in an SBP" is because your average PM owner is paranoid and distrustful of the government. Look at the comments section of any article about gold or silver and you'll see what I'm talking about. I personally use a SDB and it sounds like if the maple leaf owner used one, this thread wouldn't exist. The concept of the government breaking into my SBP and taking my coins does sound a little far fetched, but anything is possible. I prefer the risk of the government stealing my coins over storing coins in my house where I can get robbed and my family hurt, but that's just me. I am not knocking anyone who does store PMs in their house.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
