I think a few on my f-list would be interested in this- I created a new community- goldbugs.

Please join, let people you know who have an interest in precious metals know as well.

Thanks.

Cool!

So the economy crashes, what are you gonna use that gold for (fancy bullets?) Wouldn't armored cars be more useful and valuable?

;-)

Well, no place to park the armored car, and I have all the bullets I need for now (really- I had to lug it all to the storage unit and I think I must have overbought just a little- at least 4 cases of M193 and 3 cans of South African M80, plus a bunch of stuff in at least 5 other calibers)

Gold just feels good. And it is pretty.

I bought a 1902-S $20 Liberty Head today at auction for about 5% over melt ($672), a coin that could easily sell for $850! Also a 1910 $5 Indian Head Half Eagle for $245 that conservatively is worth $375.

Vintage coins are cool, but I still think my armored cars are more fun. And practical too. You know, there's some Marmon-Herrington Armored cars for sale. £6,000 even. That's a steal!

When we get some land and room for a shop- I'll try to talk L into it.

First things first- a nice Class 3 of some kind- say a MP5 or maybe a 1919a4.

This is something I don't know as much about as I should, having been more involved in the "traditional" investment world. Sign me up!
