<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 1645950, member: 6492&quot;]Howdy,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m glad you found the good folks around here.&nbsp; There is a wealth of knowledge that they willingly share.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sokay.&nbsp; I too like ASEs and Leafs.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got former in tubes and a folder.&nbsp; The latter I&#039;ve got in a folder.&nbsp; That said, bullion investing/coin collecting is a wonderful place to play.&nbsp; For example, there are dozens of countries around the world presently minting bullion coins.&nbsp; Chinese Pandas, Mexican Libertads, English Britannias, Austrian Philharmonics, gobs of stuff from Australia.&nbsp; Some of these coins are positively gorgeous and it&#039;s a nice approach for a &#039;coffee table&#039; collection of bullion.&nbsp; There are also those that collect Silver Crowns.&nbsp; These are the large silver dollar sized coins from the past that often featured a monarch on the obverse.&nbsp;&nbsp; And there are those that simply want to stash away a roll of eagles and leafs every year and forget it.&nbsp;&nbsp; Geez, it all works for me.&nbsp; teehehe.&nbsp; Yeah, I do all of these and love it.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for shopping, I&#039;ve bought here there and everywhere.&nbsp; Everyone has named their favorite and that good.&nbsp; Use this short list of good vendors and price compare every time you buy.&nbsp; Indeed, it&#039;s probably a good idea to buy from several different vendors over time.&nbsp; I&#039;d rather cultivate a few different sources.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The most important thing is that you do it in a way that you enjoy.&nbsp; For example, I&#039;ve got a pillar dollar that while silver, cost a tad bit more than a simple ASE type premium.&nbsp; Fine.&nbsp; To my grand kids, it&#039;s a whole bloody history lesson.&nbsp; You&#039;ve got the veritcal lines in our dollar sign represented by the Pillars.&nbsp; This is 8 reales or bits and when fraction currency was scarce, they would sometimes get cut into halves or quarter - dollars.&nbsp; A quarter was 2 bits, as in &#039;two bits, four bits, six bits a dollar&#039; . . . or Pieces of Eight.&nbsp; Is it coin collecting or bullion investing?&nbsp; feh.&nbsp; Who cares.&nbsp; It&#039;s fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>enjoy,</p><p><br /></p><p>peace,</p><p><br /></p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
