First, I do not believe in a doomsday crash any time in the near future. Anything could happen but I'll believe it when I see it. In the unlikely event of a doomsday crash I will need food, shelter, water etc. just like everyone else. I don't see why gold or silver will be any better a medium...

Nope

I've been able to get old Mexican gold pesos at or below spot. At .900 gold they are a tough coin with a very nice design and easy recognition. The come as small as 2 pesos and as large as 50. The 2.5 pesos are often a good buy if you look out for them because people think they are 2 pesos and...

I think I am mostly a crow with some dragon like tendencies. The wife doesn't care about my PMs and I'm not about to tell her all the details. Her take on it is I am buying coins for my little coin collection lol. I generally don't see much difference between stacking and collecting and if I...

My question would be; do you ever intend to pay off the credit card? A credit card is unsecured debt. The credit card company can't send a repo man after you for the silver you bought on it any more than they can send a repo man for the steak dinner you bought a few nights ago. They can ruin...

For numi coins I collect medieval coins. No 70s there! If there were I doubt they'd be in my price range lol

Buy more American Silver eagles. Avoid generic rounds like SBSS. Got it! Lesson learned. :)

I've noticed the same from APMEX. I was looking at the 1/10 gold libertad. It was going down to $159 a couple days ago and then all of a sudden it jumped back up to $163 even though spot didn't go up so much. It must be an auto correct so they don't lose out too much if spot drops down low. I dunno.

I got a 2 real coin from ebay and I paid about a dollar over spot. It isn't in as nice shape as the ones above but it is still a cool piece of pirate booty!

I am stacking based on a ratio I like 25oz of silver to 1/2oz of gold. So every time I purchase 25 oz of silver in bullion coins I will get 5 1/10oz gold coins and then repeat. I will continue until the price of silver hits my hold price (currently $26 per oz and I will adjust for inflation each...

I just got two 2.5 gold pesos coins for below spot and a 2 pesos coin with just a few dollar premium over spot. Nice little coins and they seem much cheaper than other small gold with little or no premium (even APMEX puts a low premium on them). You may want to keep your eye out for them. They...

mmissinglink I agree with you. It seems like a lot of folks here and elsewhere on the web stack like doomsday preppers with the hope the world will go to sh!t. They all think they will be the new Daryl from Walking Dead in a post zombie world because of their stack (or what ever fantasy they...

Well I got my two 2.5 pesos coins in the mail today. Thanks for crossing your fingers everyone. I think for gold I might start stacking the 2 and 2.5 coins because I can get them at spot (or below) and they look and feel good. Getting two coins in the post was a nice treat today too because I...

Well I have a tracking number for the two 2.5 pesos coins and the 2 pesos coin just got here. I've noticed the dos pesos sell out quickly when APMEX has them on ebay and now I see why. They are a delightful little coin. They feel good in the hand and look great. Mine still has a cartwheel luster...

My real secret is the attack monkeys!

That is true loose lips sink ships. However, those layers I meantion should really be standard for any level of home no matter where you live if you stack or not. People need to learn to take responsibility for thier own safety and security. Really it is no different than stacking when you think...

Any security system can be breached with enough time, effort, tools and/or knowledge. I think the better thing to do is layer your security. Just a safe alone might do it for a junkie breaking and entering looking for a quick buck but a more skilled burglar might be able to break in. I think if...

Thanks mate. I like the look for the pesos, too. I have a 2 pesos coin coming also. Sadly I paid a few dollars over spot for the dos pesos (but still a good price). I like the pesos because they have such a low premium. I wonder why that is? Good gold coins that are as cheap as bars or rounds...

Hello all, I just wanted to share I bought some gold on ebay below spot! Of course we will see if it really gets here. I bought two 2.5 pesos coins for $75.50 each! Each coin has .0603 troy oz of fine gold in it, so at current spot each coin has about $80 worth of gold. I'm kinda excited about...

Try putting a magnent to it. If it sticks send it back. The weight is off too. I can't imagine they'd give you more silver for the same price.
