My regret is not buying gold when I was younger. I guess it's a generational thing... If your parents never showed you the ropes because their parents never showed them the ropes... it becomes lessons in life that never get taught. Now that I'm older and I took time to understand the importance of precious metals; I try to share the knowledge to those that are still "lost" in the generational rat wheel.

[@phillipboone1782]

Worst mistake I made was doing silver first because of my lack of knowledge I wish I would’ve only cared about gold at first and I’d have a much bigger stack than I do now. And the sunk cost of the premium on the silver wouldn’t be so bitter in my mouth. I doubt I’ll ever recoup the loss from silver due to its market manipulation

[@shan4078]

We have all made foolish mistakes when starting out. My biggest mistake was buying a 10 oz bar of gold. I was trying to save on premiums, but what I didn't think of was the fact that if something ever happens where I need to sell, it will be a problem. No LCS can afford to buy it, and if I want to sell back to online dealer, it will cost about $ 300 to insure through the post office. Oh well, live and learn.

Sounds like all sorts of reasons to just keep it!

My first gold purchases were very small fractional bars. I was shocked when they showed up in the mail by how tiny they were. I ended up trading them in and am on a better path now.

Transparent. Entertaining. Strategic. Lessons. The dumpster gold story still cracks me up. Dumpster diving at its finest (?) hour.

As long as a person stacks whatever gold and silver they can comfortably afford, it's really hard to make a bad move, IMO.

[@darryls]

my bad move was not realizing the benefit of buying gold earlier in life.

[@2is1gold]

Same. Very common bad move. 😄

[@edb3877]

Yes, many of us have that in our past. I do too and it was because I was too busy raising 2 kids, buying and finishing the basement in our newer house, and making a good amount of money in the stock market. But 2008 was quite an eye opener. It was during that mess that I realized that I was good enough at making money that I could make more when I needed it but that I also needed some way of protecting my wealth from inflation eating it and crazy market gyrations ruining what I had acquired to that point. That was when I got into buying PMs. I bought silver at first and liked its heft and luster a lot. Starting slowly, I ramped up my buying via buying more ounces every quarter. When silver rose to $35 an oz., I quit buying it and just saved my cash for a while. When it fell below $20 an oz. I started buying again. After that I started buying a little gold, an oz. here and there, mostly when gold was below $1200 an oz. Since then, my gold buying continues and I buy 5 coins every few months. Sometimes, these are 1-oz. coins but lately I have bought both 1/2 and 1/4 oz. gold coins. The premiums per oz. are higher on the fractional gold coins but I like the flexibility that they might give me in the future. With them, I don't need to sell a full oz. if my need for cash is only for a few hundred dollars. Way back in 1979, I did buy 3 $100 bags of junk silver at $17.50 per oz. of silver. I held them for a while and when silver hit $42 an oz. I sold 1 of them for cash. I did the same at $44 and finally at $46. The profit from this was what funded my early stock buying. Once I got into that I did not get back into PMs until early in 2010. This was kind of a crooked path to follow but it all worked out eventually. No regrets concerning buying PMs or most of the stocks I put some money into.

Buying just about anything from a major sovereign mint is very likely to be a very good choice. If you are into unusual items, this could be just the thing. On the other hand, some things are rare because few among us care to own them. I doubt that will be the case with this, though. Yes, I might have bought those too just for them being unusual. I have 1 unusual item in my PM stack and that is a solid Lexan plastic case containing 5 US Franklin half dollars from the early to mid 1950s.

The Buffalos grow on you (they grew on me at least). I didn't like them at first. Now, they're an easy favorite. Cheers!

[@edb3877]

I can see why you would think this because I also do not care for the Buffs. It's not that they are a bad coin or anything, I simply do not like the design... even on a nickel. lol But then, this is what coin collecting is all about... doing what appeals to each of us. To those who like and buy Buffs, good for you guys and gals. I won't be bidding against you for those coins and pushing up their prices. 😉

@@edb3877 haha, I agree completely. Stack what you like. As long as it’s easy to liquidate and it appeals to you that’s all that matters!🤠

[@edb3877]

@@anthonys239 Right on, Anthony! There are so many ways that we can create a PM stack that suits us, so having lots of choices is a good thing. I can see how those new to PMs should be getting some advice on what to buy, in general, so that they don't load up on a lot of stuff that looks nice but that doesn't have a lot of resale potential. Some of the private mints put out a lot of sets that probably won't sell for half what was paid for them and sometimes even gold plated stuff that looks great but that has very little value.

Easy swap. 🥃

You are more like a coin collector than a bullion stacker. We are like the dwarves in middle earth...hypnotic indeed. Common date US constitutional 20 dollar gold pieces, more viscous than water.

[@2is1gold]

The collector side is almost its own thing to me. 80-90% of what I have is straight, no-frills bullion. It all grabs me, though. Cheers!

It looks like you’ve accumulated quite a large ship of fools here in the comments of your videos, I’m happy to be one of them-

Ha, welcome!!

You got Hickok 45 on the pirate ship of fools!!

Queens Beasts are my fav. I’ve bought each stunning design 👍 Sovereigns my 2nd fav,,,bought 32 of them at auction house 2019 at £200 each when gold price was £973 per ounce 😃

[@Jamie.2023]

😅 What auction?

[@Lgtg1947]

@@Jamie.2023 T R Callan Ayr Scotland. Bought 32 excellent condition vintage half sovereigns between Feb - April 2019. Paid £120 each for them including commission, NOT £200 as in my 1st comment 🤦‍♀️ Gold dealers selling them at £220 ish just now 👍

Nice Knife. Do a video on your Knives. I stack them also.

Thanks! I just made one on the other channel to scratch the surface. Cheers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKq7nKmkmaxgiK8

My "foolish" early buys were a 1oz Kangaroo and a 20g Combi Bar. Keeping them just to avoid the hassle of selling them off, though a Buffalo would be a nice replacement 🤔. That was so early on when I put the brakes on silver. I wish there was a way to flip my Bourbon stack into gold, though. Try Barrell Bourbon, if you haven't. Cheers!🥃

[@2is1gold]

I’m going to have to work to catch up to these Bourbon recommendations! I just grabbed som Blanton’s this afternoon. Cheers!

[@everythingelse3086]

Too much Bourbon is a thing yet too much gold isn't

[@johnstudd4245]

I don't know any dealer that would hesitate accepting a kangaroo.

[@bigjay875]

Add some 100 oz silver bar🎉😊

Did you just find out about the maple leaf tax like me? The internet spreads things in controlled ways. The KZbin moneyman is watching us.

[@2is1gold]

I've known about it for a long time but didn't know when I bought my first. Cheers!
