I've been dabbling in precious metals, primarily silver bullion for several years and right now things are looking pretty good. But my best buy/deal ever was a few years ago I had a pickup truck for sale and a good friend wanted it but had little money. But he had a gold piece in proof condition he had been awarded as some kind of award at work and wanted me to take it as a down payment. So, we made a deal that on the day he decided to make the jump, we would look up gold prices and I'd accept his gold piece at that value (whatever it was on that day, up or down) as a down payment on the truck. Well, gold was at about $1600/oz that day. Well over the face value of the gold coin. Today that coin would have bought the truck for him. Just this past weekend he and I sat on my back porch and had a couple of cool ones and he laughingly asked if he could buy his coin back for what it was worth when he bought my old truck. I thought sorta seriously about it ............................................................ for a second or two! True story.
