I've never bought bullion until October after reading Synj Synj simp for it. Bought the below between Mid-Oct and Thanksgiving. I admit is kind of cool having actual coins and bars. I gave one to each of my nieces and nephews for Xmas and they thought i twas the coolest thing. Way cooler than just getting some money.

Small position as I have never bought before. I doubt I'll go hard on this. But I like having like 300 coins to give out as gifts here and there or whatever.

That’s fucking awesome. I bought a monster box (500 Silver Eagles) around 2019 @$20ish per ounce I believe. No regerts.

I purchased from APMEX as I didn't want to deal with vetting sources. It's cheaper to just up the quantity on their rounds/bars than actually buying their monster boxes. 🤔

Best I could figure just buy their APMEX stamped shit because they will buy that back at the best rate. Since they don't have to reforge or whatever it is they do. Unless you want some novelty ones just because.

For straight up investing you’re right. I do have some first strike nonsense as well as different countries and “collectible” gold and silver. Investing is personal and I liked some of the “fun” or “pretty” pieces I’ve collected even if it cost me a little bit more on premiums. But I also collected coins as a kid so there’s still a tiny bit of a numismatist in me.

Trump, during the campaign, made subtle hints about tariffs. Particuarly on his Joe Rogan interview. And now he basically wears boxing gloves labeled "TARIFFS" and punches the world with them regularly, lol. It's one part of his admin that I'm really enjoying. Especially since all the expert opinions on them were dead wrong.

I have mostly generic rounds. With a few "year of the <whatever>" rounds throw in for variety. A solid silver coin makes a treat card cover when playing poker.
