[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3175802, member: 92655"]I don't purchase bullion for investment purposes. My selfish reasoning is that I enjoy owning old gold and silver. I have absolutely no intention of liquidating. It is written in my will to disburse among my heirs when I leave this party. For me, this is not a pathway to any financial future. That said, I am somewhat confused by what appears to me to be a general negative view of the current bullion market. It feels to me like I am almost stealing the stuff at current levels. And I have certainly increased my stacks of late. Hence my confusion; [LIST] [*]A recent thread by a dealer/member offering a review of the Dalton Georgia coin show included a lament about the poor performance of ASE's and the like in his stellar review of the show. [*]Visiting my dealer yesterday and asking about early 20th century gold. A very apparent look of disgust crept across his face. I changed the subject.
