r/Gold:

AGE is the only way, especially if you’re a US citizen. Why? Liquidity (easy to validate and sell), protection against counterfeiting / fraud, no taxes on money
u/DirectorBiggs

I mean either is good. If it dips to 2k or less I buy more. If it goes to 4k+ I celebrate what I have. The point of having gold is you are comfortable no matter what tf is going on.
u/DirectorBiggs

Gotcha, I shouldn’t be judging her taste in jewelry. Condolences to you. If possible use it as a foundation to become a collector, unless you absolutely need the money.
u/DirectorBiggs

Yes yes, I understand “wanting” it for the bullion value, I get that. Personally I’d toss it in my safe as part of my stack, sure. As a piece of jewelry it’s ugly, gaudy and tacky af.
u/DirectorBiggs

That is totally tacky looking, why tf would anyone want or wear that thing?
u/DirectorBiggs

No taxes on purchase and selling of coins, wearing gold is tacky on most people, much much higher premiums, potential to lose, basic wear and tear devaluing your investment, draw attention to yourself so it’s a basic violation of operational security; marking yourself, your family and your home as a potential target. There’s so many reasons NOT to be wearing my gold, show it off or risk losing it. edit to add to the reasons NOT to waste money on jewelry: Validating it’s authenticity, penalty inherent to producing fakes as opposed to federal offense for counterfeiting, sustaining the value of purchase and liquidity; if you’re selling jewelry you need an interested buyer whereas with coins any coin shop will buy it.

Humble brag Whatever op
u/DirectorBiggs

Those are the only other metals I stack deep and keep in safes.
u/DirectorBiggs

Help yourself OP, it doesn’t make frog’s fat ass bit of difference what any of these armchair coin-star metallurgy experts have to say. Get it fucking tested.
u/DirectorBiggs

Congrats on making big moves OP. Curious where you sold, please share.
