coinwatch: Nice post. I likee. First time I saw chunks of pure gold my mind was saying, whooooa mystical. There's nothing like it. Since gold isn't used in everyday transactions anymore 24K is actually viable for coinage and the absolute best way to store your value (if you don't mistreat it). Investment-wise: go for a sleeper you think will be in demand later. Of course this is delving into the realm of the crystal ball.
