1 tonne gold coins. I currently have one in unaquired storage at the Perth Mint and just need to find a way to quietly roll it out without anyone noticing. You'll know when I'm successful because I'll probably start a thread: "What size capsule for a 1 tonne gold Kangaroo coin?"
If it had not all be stolen or lost at sea it would be something like this.... Silver coins 61.7567461% (Maples, Viennas, French and Belgium silver, kilo coins and 19th century numismatics) Silver Jewellery 9.943279466% (chain rolls and random nice pieces e.g Georgian tea set, 18th centurysilver hilted and sheathed hunting hanger) Silver bullion 28.29997443% (Smaller bars 100/250 grams +1KGs) With silver at about 34.33322093979472% of total Gold Gold Jewellery 35.52095782 (18K chain and unusual pieces of high workmanship that should not be melted) Gold coins 35.05812331 (Victorian Sovs, Rare Euro numismatics, Maples) Gold bullion 29.42091887 (Heraeus and Argor-Heraeus, Credit Suisse, valcambi) Gemstones - A decent collection more from interest than anything else diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphire, amethyst, garnets, opals, tanzanite, tsavorite etc etc. I consider this basically valueless other than gemmology which is fascinating. My preference would be for 'true' numismatic European coins and pieces with high K and workmanship. Excellent condition junk silver of VF or higher is the only stuff I keep...no scratched, cleaned, dings etc. I find scrap gemstones fun and interesting when they show up but don't consider them liquid even when very fine. I hunt based on value more than any other factor. Thank you that was an interesting exercise. I like art and antiques also these and PMs are great ways to transfer intergenerational wealth.
I was once told by a administer if you know what you are worth then you are not worth much. just the messenger so hold you fire,aussies sheath your knifes.
I pretty much like it all, save for junk & ultra-generic. Granted, at least on a weight basis, I'm probably currently a bit bar-heavy.. I blame spot in the $14's & $15's USD, for that. Will probably balance out over time..
Starting out with semi-numi bullion coins but already realise that if I do decide to become a hard-core stacker I'll end up going for low premium bars.
Somewhere in an alternate universe, there's a version of me who is probably doing the same.. Of course, I'm sure he's also immediately freeing them from any packaging. :lol: Heck, maybe someday I'll even travel that road to see if I can visit him for a spell..
