[QUOTE="s3v3n, post: 3122332, member: 96415"]Wow, That is an awesome answer, much appreciated. So, based on what you do, why do you choose US coins over Canadian coins, when the metal content (aside from platinum) is much better in Canadian Coins?? is it purely because of the image? or because it is American?? I have also noticed that Canadian coins tend to be cheaper compared to their American counter parts. For me personally, I have a little of everything atm. I have a bunch of Maple Leaf monster boxes, purely for [COLOR=#ff0000]Edited ~ Read rules about Language abbreviations[/COLOR] situation as it is much easier to barter with silver coins than gold (specifically due to smaller denominations/value) I do have also a decent amount of Slabbed coins based on what they tend to appreciate for in 10+ years should be much higher than I paid for them, But I have mainly been buying Platinum Maple leafs lately as they are technically far more precious than gold (based on existence) and they are used for more than just Jewelry. I started buying bulk Gold and Platinum maple leafs and buying capsules for them to try and keep them as untouched. and the capsules can be reused for other coins if I sold any. I am purely in this for the monetary aspects. I am fortunate that I can buy/sell these without taxes, and the funds I am spending are also tax free. (long story) but I want to maintain this wealth for my family for many years. I am also in stocks/bonds, and while I had a stellar first few months, I have been going sideways for the last few as well, as the markets are also a long game, need time to make money. I guess my biggest concern is not knowing what people expect the markets to do with PM long term, as they are limited in availability, one would expect them to go up over time, and as the economy tanks in waves, they also tend to do the opposite. I also like legal tender PM coins, as you can cross boarders with them legally if ever needed, and be able to move more wealth than if you carried cash (10k limit) as since the gold/silver platinum coins are legal tender at their face value, the overall value is much higher. Sorry for rambling.. :) I get pretty excited about all this, so I am learning everything i can..[/QUOTE]
