look at what 10 oz silver or gold was worth in 1929 start of the depression or when Nixon pulled the plug on it. Now compare what it would have cost and what it is worth today. Now take the same amount of money and look at what it would be worth had you invested it in the S&P 500 and tell me what the better investment was.

I'll give you 4 bucks for it. I love canadian silver coins.

The Caribou is a pretty cool coin. I give all my interesting coins to my 3 year old niece, she appreciates them more than I would.

Holding tangible precious metals is not and investment. It is insurance preserving wealth. A way to fight inflation and/or destruction of world fiat currencies.
Investing in precious metals should be done through ETF's, mutual funds, mining stocks. These are traded in fiat currency with the click of a mouse.
The only true money is precious metals, with gold being#1.Folding currency used to be money when it was backed by gold. Roosevelt started the destruction of money, Nixon finished it off. Our currency now is backed by debt and production of more debt out of thin air. (Printing of more fiat to pay on the debt, creating higher debt)
Crypto may fit in there some where. Now or in future????
