RE: My Unexpected Foray Into Silver Coin Investing

in #money7 years ago

Estates sales and garage sales are good for silver. Silver coins are great when you pick them up. But I have a little box full just from finding them in jewelry boxes. Also random silver pieces can be sold by weight. Just make sure that it doesn't have value on top of the weight. For instance if you found some sterling flatware. Some patterns are in high demand, some aren't. Double check first! Gold is also something that can be acquired cheap at sales if you know what you are looking for. Get yourself a gram scale and get familar. Gold and silver are perfect to keep in a safety deposit box for long term! Isn't it interesting they have value, like Bitcoin but it's very hard to spend. :)

Yes, so many little ways to find value. Guess you can say that about alot of different assets classes. Suppose this is why it's hard to specialize in a bunch of them. Appreciate the info, I'll prob grab more when I see opportunity.
