Hello

Yup, they're lines were always long. Nice avatar, is that pic taken from diamond head?

wow! all great responses! keep them coming!
@Libertad:
Find a series of small gold coins that are maximum 2 grams for starters. The coins I'm referring to are .900 fine that once circulated as money. (USA, Canada, Mexico, Europe, everywhere else that monetized gold).

24K is expensive if you buy under an ounce. This is why I suggest the coin route. It will allow you to invest time into researching the coin series you like. Investing below an ounce at a time will quickly fail, and even in ounces and kilos that is a serious gamble to take. Only buy as much as you need.

The time to do it is when you're still swept by the idea.
-very interesting and sounds solid. (for someone, like a lot of others who love holding and looking at old pretty historical objects like coins, and also someone with limited funds to start investing cash into precious metals).
Would greatly appreciate your minimum and maximum if any price your are willing to spend on coins. What criteria do you buy a coin for? (just because you like it or for as a set-valuation?).

@cascade: restaurants are not good businesses to invest in LOL. (joke). Eggs and Things is still on Saratoga, the original first one. And recently opened another closer to Ala Moana. https://www.eggsnthings.com/
