Silver as a gift?

[Topherclaus]

As someone said its a waste of silver to give as a gift unless its like a necklace etc type of sterling silver close to spot.

I gave some gold to my sister to help with newborn baby but also told her to ask me in case it needs to be sold.

You don't wanna be like a candyman showing off and publicize your investment I guess

Could be a cool thing to put aside with their parents for an 18th or 21st gift though? A silver 1oz from each year they've been alive might be a nice investment for them. And by that time hopefully we've been able to drum in the importance of investment.

That's a good positive thinking. Yes what you will reap the rewards in the future definitely. It might boost up some interest in those kids for their own future. I wish someone told me and showed me pm s way before I was 33.

When i am buying proof coins, i always get 3, these are for my 3 children. I discussed to them that they are for them to be keep and forget. I had already given them some of the modern local commemoratives issued by our central bank in terms of silver coins in set of 3. Recently, i ordered another 3 sets of proof gold and silver coins for them.

Christmas gifts are different, i do not like to put my obsession in this gift giving day to them, It will look obvious that i had a coin-bug lurking in my head. Last new years eve, my wife gave me 13 pcs new govt issued silver bullion. I was really surprised about her gift in silver form.

For other people, even relatives, no body knows we are keeping PMs, we do not offer gifts in this form. They know that i am just a normal coin and antique collector.
