I bought a $10 gold back from Coin Guy (thank you Nathan). It's so nice that I've mounted it in a gold frame and hung it on my wall. Talking point for any guests to our house as it's rarely (if ever) seen here in England.

[@terjemarken2411]

'Big Brother' is already here in Europe, at least in Norway where I live. We can still use physical money but it's become more and more rare. Most people pay with their plastic cards. Banks and authorities will ask you questions if you deal with bigger amounts of bills. We're being more and more controlled, supervised.

You should do a video on how the Hispanic population is driving a lot of the US coin market. I've worked at a coin shop my friend owns for a few years. In our area in North Georgia, probably 50 percent of our customers are Hispanic. Their culture is very into collecting coins and stacking precious metals

[@Spegtacular]

A few Spanish countries were/are under a dictatorship and/or communist regime. I can see them stacking metals as an attempt to not be under full control of their government (the monetary system). The Hispanic population is also a significant one. I can see it impacting a lot and precious metals/coins is just one of those.

I traditionally stack bullion at the best prices I can get,, bars and rounds. Used to buy alot of eagles also bit they are overpriced these days. However when spot price and premiums get too high, I take a break from stacking bullion and focus on numismatic coins and go back when spot and the premiums go down. I find it the best for me personally because I want to have both. It's gonna be special when I'm gone and my family finally cracks open my giant safe noone has seen inside before and will have tons of all different items to go through.. but also never put all your eggs in one basket

Because of stacking, I don’t think I’ll ever finish my Penny or Nickel collection. But that’s ok, I excepted that. I still save all the wheat pennies and nickels dated before 1959 that I come across. So in my opinion, I don’t think that the coin collecting hobby is dead. 👍

The tax guarantees the government either gets a cut or keeps you from buying. It’s all about control of the market.

[@officeguy3]

Coin collecting isn’t dying. There are more and more people attending coin shows. However having said that, the coin collector has to know when a coin is going to cost to much. I’m in Canada and rarely buy from dealers in the U.S. due to the exchange rate, shipping, Canadian customs duties and taxes. For instance I purchased a reference book on Roman Republican Denarii a couple of months ago from a numismatic book seller in California. The book was $45, the shipping $55 U.S..The exchange rate was 33%, then I paid customs duties and taxes which brought the final amount to just over $150 Cdn. Because the book specialized in a specific area in numismatics I felt the cost was worth it.

(Later I bought a couple eagle/double eagles for about $250/oz or less at auction. Mad bidders who didn't get my pieces screamed at me "You'll never get your money back! You bid too high!"
