Not interested in an investment. It's purely for the sake of just having some gold.
Now is not the time to buy it, but, I've heard of people buying gold from dealers, and later discover it's not real.
I understand the difference between spot price and market price, but a couple of stores have been recommended.
Tulsa Gold and Silver. For example.
My question is, can such a place be trusted?
“Let’s be clear: I am not advocating for disarmament. Far from it. In fact, self defense should be the first priority for everyone.
... I don’t see a need in building an armory. I will follow Sam Houston’s example before I follow that set by Will Travis.” [beancounter13, post 116]
In all the clarity, I must have missed your advocacy of arming up. My humblest apologies.
I am the last to criticize a given individual’s approach to preparation for crises & upheavals - provided that individual is honest: that they are putting forth a personal conclusion. They are not stating facts.
It is folly to hark back to the tactics of Texans in 1836. Unless, perhaps, we were to find ourselves defending our lives & homes with flintlocks.
If you missed my position, I point you back to post #s 55 and 107.
It seems folly to rely on AR15s and cases upon cases of ammo when artillery tech is not really cutting edge. Besides, drone tech has already been effectively weaponized.
Arm yourself to the extent needed for survival, but plan to be mobile. Everything valuable will be overrun.
If you buy American coins there is an additional layer against counterfeiting, the penalty is greater for counterfeiting, but a gold or silver bar that is plugged?
A civil matter.
usmint.gov for maximum safety.
I’d go with Parker Schnabel or Tony f***in Beets.
Make your own. I’ve watched Gold Rush enough times that I think I can be the next Parker Schnabel.
“Parker Schnabel”
A name from the past. I was always pulling for Parker.
