Why not just convert the currency (solves the USD being stronger problem), open a US investing account, and fund it to buy GLD or IAU to get the rough performance of gold? The only downside is that those are fairly heavily taxed, but it does get you gold exposure and in USD.

It is that way everywhere. Land purchasing and ownership is the biggest scam of all time. Government owns all land. Always have, always will. The only way it changes ownership is if a new government conquers the old one... then it becomes property of the new govt. "Real Estate" literally means...

Most of NC, SC, TX, TN, WV, etc etc would probably meet your needs best. Other 'country' places like rural Midwest, southwest, or mountain west states could probably also fit the bill. Trust me, if Texas ever secedes, I will be there by the end of the month... and I have a successful business...

Like anything numi, you have no guarantee it will ever have any value besides roughly spot price. ...Personally, for the same money, I'd take a couple silver bullion coins and a Simpsons toy or trading card or keychain on my office shelf over just a single Simpsons silver coin. And yes, I am a...

Yes and no. Minimal government was a lot easier when societies weren't so large and so anonymous. People generally don't fear or try to rob people they know. They just help one another. Heck, you don't even need money to accomplish mutually beneficial trade within small and trusting units...

Some LCSs get it, some don't... I have checked dozens in my area and only buy from a couple LCS and a couple pawn shops. Maybe ask him if there is volume discount. Pawn shops tend to do that if you will buy the whole batch of a coin type. That LCS asking $4 over spot price buys new eagles for...

Quick... where did I put my tin foil hat?

Yeah, they are awesome coins. It works out to be over $6k usd for the set, though... esp if you get the apmex box for them. I was able to buy over half of the set last year when silver was low... many at or even under $100. 5oz coins (or any coins, really) don't have a great track record for...

Yep, I ordered my Massachusetts 5oz coin from JM today... only since I didn't want anything else. Not sure about Canada, but for USA shipping, JM does free ship for $99+. Apmex also has free shipping for $99+ orders. SD can be great if I am ordering a few things, but they do $8 flat shipping...

Anyone trading gold for BTC are probably the same people who would trade oil or farmland for boxes of finger monkey toys or lottery tickets. Metals are the undefeated champ when measured against any other currency in human history (all govt currency, alt currencies, and now make-believe digital...

Yes, all the major dealers are fine. Instead of fearing fakes, just learn how to detect them. It's not hard, and it's not expensive... https://www.silverstackers.com/forums/index.php?threads/magnet-test-and-ring-test.90576/#post-1071987 (check out the post by the wise American, 4th one down...

XRF won't detect a jeweler copy that is 22kt gold. Those are such copies are common with sovs and old pre1933 USA gold coins which have numi value (reason #8279 why numi is not wise for most ppl to delve into). You would need someone, probably a collector or dealer, with loupes and verified...

Secondary market premium usually follows spot and supply/demand. Premium will usually be a rough percentage... that goes up or down with spot. (ie, silver maples or kangaroos might have a 7-8% premium usually... but in a real cold silver market, you might find them at 5% premium or less... and...

No one test works by itself... you need to use them in combo.

Appears to be worth the spot price of 100grams of silver ;)

Huh? Junk is mainly collected by prepper/SHTF types or people looking to get the most silver at lowest premiums. They are usually fine with buying ugly coins and bars to get the most metal for the least price. ...Passionate coin lovers are more of the types who overpay for shiny stuff from...

Yeah, many of the companies do that. Are you talking about just getting cash for them... or to make you a bar or custom rounds or something with your silver? The latter can be done, but it costs a whole lot and usually has minimum order volume.

It doesn't matter what anyone says or forecasts with regard to market direction... nobody knows anything. Not banks, not the FED, not Warren Buffett, not TV analysts, certainly not random forum ppl. You want to understand and play all fields: Usa stocks indexes or sectors or single stocks...

Apmex "uncompetitive"? Lmao. Your financial bias is showing clearly, man (PS, you forgot to put your affiliate marketing hyperlinks to the bullion sites in your post above, as you do in most of your other posts). You are trying to make people mistake your sales pitch for quality info and...

Lol, exactly. Gold is a fine place to park cash when you want to get out of the market for awhile. It would have done pretty good over the past couple on months. An investment is technically anything that is expected to go up in value. No, gold doesn't cash flow since it has no dividend or...
