Do you collect stuff? If so, what do you collect or save? I have been recently collecting coins from various countries. I have a $2 coin from Australia, 100 Colonies from Costa Rica, and a Frank from France.

I don't really collect anything. When I was little, I used to collect shark teeth, though. 😛

I'll take the gold if its .999. is it US gold coinage? Thats the good stuff, but I have some bullion from Australia, Mexico, and I have African Rand banging around somewhere in my bank box.
You have that Christian Site,,,,Have you seen any of those Holy Land bullion releases. When you get a member base you can have a metal contest and give away an oz or two. Its pretty cool stuff.
I have some Israel silver coinage. Its not for regular stackers,,,kind of plain overall, but I like the stuff. You have to be careful where you get the stuff from because its contaminated with pvc grease. I have sent back a few coins due to this. Dealers do this, not the mint, as I have some nice clean coins.
That grease is a nightmare for a collector. It can contaminate your whole work area.

It's only a 10th an ounce coin. I'd like to keep ahold of it. 🙂 Mainly, the gold and silver coins are an investment. I'm more into them than they are worth right now, but that could change in the future. I got quite a few Indian Head coins, rest are Canadian & American coins. I haven't seen any of the Holy Land Bullions. I'll have to check them out and see how much they cost. I don't make much money, so I wouldn't be able to get much. 🙁
I didn't even think about a metal contest, that's a good idea. I also thought about when the site gets active doing a charity drive, like FP used to do. Adding forum currency and when members get enough, turning that into money for charity. That's probably still a while away, but it gives me something to think about. 🙂
Fractional gold is not a bad thing as compared to the premium of factional silver. Dont buy silver fractional.
I started out with fractional gold years ago. Its great for the hold in my opinion even today. GLD is at 1213 at this post(my metal ticker is online 24/7). Not bad, but not like before the recession. I made a killing off gold/silver when It maxed out and I sold much of it to dump for profit.
POG has no profit moves man but stability.10ths are still a good buy but your not going to flip as many did,,,same for silver. I went on a few fat summer sprees when everyone was complaining about the recession. I made a profit because I was all in gold bullion which I would never try today. I took a chance and won.
Even then, Its still a good buy. Buy more and stash it at your bank box....personal home safe, and in other places you can trust. I have metal all over the place and I am not afraid of being robbed or posting in an open forum. I have nothing at my place, and nobody will ever be able to get through my stash fail safes....ever!
