<p>[QUOTE=&quot;crystalk64, post: 75426, member: 1873&quot;]Cloudsweeper I am afraid I don&#039;t understand your reasoning. We can go out and buy gold and silver collectable coins or gold bullion without PAYING someone else to do it for us. It seems to me the American people have been conditioned to believe WE can&#039;t do anything ourselves so we must pay someone for a service we don&#039;t actually need. I might also point out, if one does it himself, there is NO records concerning your collection or bullion, should you chose to call it that, and if no records exsist (no paper trail and nothing floating around in someones computer) which is a feeling I LIKE VERY MUCH. I have been buying and selling gold for years and my gains or loses are entirely of my own doing and I have no one to blame but myself if I don&#039;t do well. I could set here and rant and rave forever about doing things ourselves but one thing I will NEVER do is recommend the stock market or a 401K to anyone ever! Quite honestly if it wasn&#039;t for the 401Ks in the last few years the stock market would have crashed as the filthy rich were smart enough to get out when the going got rough and put their money else where. The average Joe took the brunt of the last few years. I have used my gold and silver bullion when and as needed the past few years. Its handy to convert to cash and I really like POSSESSION of my money, collectables, gold and silver. I am in total control and, right or wrong, its my money and my collection! When it comes to bullion I wouldn&#039;t pay the inflated prices for proofs from the mint or play the high grade game. All of the bullion coins are very high grade (at least all I have seen or handled) so why pay a grading service to tell me that? This may be a little blunt but if an individual wants to put a little money into gold or silver he/she doesn&#039;t need to pay anyone else for the service. Find a dealer and go from there and a local dealer would be your best bet. And, above all, compare prices with other dealers before committing to buy. Good luck with what ever you choose to do bplinson!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
