I’ve found that buying the 1/10 oz. gold coins (US) are much easier to store, carry and stash than the 1 oz. variety. Making change wont be as bothersome either should the occasion ever arise.
I’ve gotten the silver 1oz. inventory down to about 550-600 coins. Woeful to store and/or carry in large amounts. Tryin’ to go to all 1/10 oz. gold coins.
Almost all of my transactions have taken place at Coin/Gun shows in CASH. VERY good deals !!!
Well, before I lost them all in that horrific boating accident on Lake Tillery . . . . . such a shame.
Almost forgot _ PUT NOTHING OF VALUE IN A SAFE DEPOSIT BOX, EVER !!
