Why I Keep Begging Gold and Silver Investors to Buy PHYSICAL and Take Possession!

2011-12-19

One of my newer numismatic and precious metals Client Representatives came to my last week and expressed his frustration with several GoldandEnergyAdvisor.com subscribers who expressed the desire to buy gold and silver but wanted to avoid taking physical possession.

"They want us to store the bullion and to send them a paper statement each month. I tried to explain why it's so dangerous to do this with any firm but they're just so entrenched in the concept of investing in paper I can't get them to see how dangerous it is." ~read more

The Gold of Alexander "The Great", 336-323 BC

2011-11-07

Over the past several years, I have fallen in love with Ancient rare coins. Thanks to the grading service, Numismatic Guarantee Corporation (NGC) investor/collectors now have the ability to buy Ancient Greek and Roman coins, among other historic coins graded and certified by Ancient Numismatic Experts.

One of my favorite Ancient coins is the Greek Stater. A Stater is a small gold coin minted throughout the Ancient Greek Empire. Stater roughly translates into soldier. Staters were most commonly used to pay soldiers either their monthly wages or as bounty after a battle. ~read more
