| Conina said: 85% - 90% growth for gold prices and 50% - 55% growth for silver prices in a 5 year period is okay... but "skyrocketing"? In the same period a lot of technology stocks grew a lot more, f.e. Nvidia +1300%, TSMC +220%, Microsoft +140%. Also: where do you keep your "stacks"? At home? If yes, are they insured? Or do you keep them at the bank? I collected silver commemorative coins in the past, but not as investment or their material value, just because I liked the pretty motives and shiny things. A few U.S. coins, some German coins and a lot of Canadian coins. Especially the Canadian coins have very pretty themes: nature (animals, landscapes, maple leaves, old sailboats... and the U.S.S. Enterprise (my personal favorite). |
That's funny you brought that up. That's the first time in a while I've had the collection in one place at one time. My pics are from a couple of weeks ago. I was doing a reevaluation of assets for sets of legal documents. I had to photograph everything I owned. 2 1/2 safety deposit boxes filled at the bank. I have a savings account that the interest earned a year offsets the yearly fees for having those boxes.
Love you choice in themes. I agree, I like the NCC-1701 the most.
I keep a few thousand dollars on hand for emergencies or quick purchases in case its a holiday or late night outing.
This coin is the only one I keep at home. It's the only actual 4-leaf clover I've ever had.
I spent over 14 hours moving it, separating it, and photographing. That was with 2 helpers. When I had it all together for the group photos, I got really nervous. I got to thinking, of all days for something to go wrong or for someone to decide to rob me, that would have been the day. Lol.
