For me it's like an investment collection for a longer haul. I don't see it as purely as an investment because I'll be holding onto it for years down the line and I also enjoy buying new gold coins to go along with what I currently have.
Thanks Fifty, I never noticed the difference. Even though I am long out of school, I do like to increase my knowledge. It also helps not to look like a fool when communicating with others. Never was good at spelling. To answer the question at hand; Capital savings 99%, fun 1%. "Bad Speelers of the world UNTIE!"
Because I have a major collector mentality. It makes sense for me to start collecting something that won't really lose any value.
I'm buying silver so that one day when I have enough I can melt it all down and also melt down a few ounces of gold too..so that I can make a statue of krispy and elaine with 24k gold overlay...just I need some exact weight figures of Krispy and elaine and also some pictures of both of them to try to make this statue look like them... all I got for pics are pics of paper currency and some gold coins...
