Why is handling gold and silver so satisfying /biz/?
>the shine
>the sound
>the weight
it's so amazing...
>>1867858
It is pretty amazing. Sometimes I just take out my coins and jingle them for minutes on end.
>>1867858
shoo shoo gains goyim
peter schiff pls go

Love how it goes up and down in value but never a big risk so never a big reward. And if I ever have too use them as currency there's prob. bigger sht going on and people will barter goods and services over shiny metals in such a barren world. They're collectibles and neat like comic books and signed baseballs. As for currency the people want what's next not what was.
>>1867858
why do you think it had value long ago?
Now, it's extremely useful for industrial and electronic purposes.
>>1867858
I agree anon, but no money to be made on it.
It's more for satisfaction, not for gainz.
>>1869678
don't be silly, it's not just for satisfaction but a way to maintain wealth beyond the paper money.
it's equal to buying land.
>>1869682
Like I said, not for gainz.
Just for fun.
>>1869682
Except land is a liability
>>1869682
At least land can potentially bring you value buy working it.
Shoo shoo dwarf.

One time my dad gave me a silver coin for a while when I was about 7. It was at that moment that I realised that we were created by the Annunaki to mine gold
>>1869774
you are a true poor fag if you think this
>>1867858
i got about 8k in silver
sometimes i regret it other times i love it
2 kg gold reporting in. (photo of the first one, now 2 in a treasure in the bank)
feals so dense, like a "magic" force that pulls more than usual gravity

I'm pretty jelly desu, wish I had £33k to convert into gold.
>>1869678
>Buying impure gold eagles.
yuck
For the record, I don't handle my gold coins. .9999 gold is soft and prone to scratching.

if you ever read a book you'd know silver is by far the more attractive fall back currency to gold, why do you think shills pumped it so much earlier?
But for realists, bars/generics are not great investments. They will never gain over melt value no matter how cool they are to hold.
Coins with varying designs or from certain years are more sensible gamble. Depending on how good you are at getting a deal.

apart from the silver comment, the complete opposite of what you said is true. numismatics =/= investment
>Be Jew
>Turn 22
>Sudden inescapable urge to own gold and silver kicks in
>10% of all my monthly earnings go into a growing pile of gold and silver in my safe.
Is it genetic? Why did this happen?
>>1870801
it could be much worse
you could be one of those idiots that collect jordans or beanie babies
>>1870801
Be sure to test some of it, counterfeits have been going around.
Wish I could find a place in Europe to sell me old silver coins for less than 20% over spot. They're just so nice to play with.
>>1869678
>fake toning
I used to make coins like that and sell them at a premium
good to see there's still a market for it.
my favorite project was a morgan dollar worth about $5k that I heated up in the oven to 450F and then misted with drain cleaner. That thing was a fucking beauty.
>>1870825
you think a genetic jew would be attracted to fake gold?
>>1871479
germany fiddles the rules with lower premium
or you can risk singapore via private courier
>>1873176
get in Singapore? is 20% over spot good?
>>1870529
correct me if im wrong, but 1kg gold is currently like 37k euros, yes?
Fuckin love it. Love wearing a gold chain worth more than a car while most people cant even afford a full tank of gas. Hahahaha
>tfw you have to pay 20% VAT on silver in the UK
is it legal to buy it elsewhere and import it or is that smuggling?
>>1874707
If I had to guess it's probably legal as long as it's under a certain amount (probably a large quantity) and you aren't intending to re-sell it.

>.9999 gold is soft and prone to scratching.
I love Krugerrands for this reason.
Krugerrands are made of an alloy with 1oz gold and some copper.
They still scratch, but only about as much as a regular coin. Also they don't carry a serial number and are accepted virtually everywhere.
>>1874707
If you buy through Bullionvault you can avoid the VAT, but there are other fees and monthly storage costs

>Gold began his first business at age 12, buying pizzas and reselling them by the slice to fellow students at Hebrew School.
:^)
Personally I just wear my gold as a shirt.
>>1870581
Those are toned silver eagles.
>>1874740
ayy didn't that dude get smurfed?
>>1870529
Didn't Deutsche Bank confiscate all the physical gold of their clients not too long ago?
>>1867858
>tfw you can't afford more than 10oz of gold
I wanna be like Scrooge McDuck
>>1875046
