Collecting rare American coins and realizing American gold coin value sometimes requires delayed gratification for their sale.
This works for me, because their purchase gives me instant gratification.
At some point recently, I realized my relationship with my coins is very personal and almost sacred.
Like most parents, I certainly don't plan to sell my little babies...
well, unless I find a substantially better one.
Then I'll affectionately kiss the old one goodbye and bond to the new one.
As in human relationships, coins are acquired for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
World gold coins and silver rare American coins mysteriously find their way into your life for any number of reasons.
They will remain as part of your life until their purpose is manifest, then they move on like angels into someone else's life.
Acquiring a new gold or silver coin is like making a new friend.
There is an excitement and curiosity in the developing relationship.
The relationship might be a little one sided, but that's OK.
It's all about YOU.
You are probably more interested in the coin's past than it is in yours.
That's OK, too.
This is a one sided relationship.
Both partners don't have to be equal.
You probably do all the talking.
Again, that's OK.
Talk to your coins as much as you need.
They are there to counsel and console you.
You might even agree with the saying: Make new friends And hang on to the old.
The new friends are like silver, The others are like gold.
Or something like that...
Comparing gold and silver coins to friends is kind of sick.
But, that's the subject of this article.
I hope I'm not the only person in this world who talks to their coins.
If you're thinking I'm not saying anything of real substance, you're correct.
I have to agree with that assessment.
For the record, I will confess that my coin relationship isn't entirely sick.
Sometimes, and there are times when I don't even agree with myself.
You might have heard the saying: Smart people don't let their Money sit around and mold.
They consistently buy their Favorite silver and gold.
I'm not quite sure what that means.
Maybe paper money looks like it got moldy or something.
World gold coins and rare American coins certainly won't get moldy.
In the right environment, silver might tarnish a little, but gold always looks good.
Gold and copper are the only two metals that don't have that silvery metallic look, and gold is the only one that also doesn't ever tarnish.
If you haven't heard of the above sayings, you're perfectly fine.
I'm pretty sure I made them up.
I won't however come right out and take credit for them, in case I didn't.
