the thing with precious metals like gold silver and platinum is that you can start with an ounce or so and go up to whatever your investment budget is.

And sell on the same basis.

I always retain part of my 'stack'.

Some I know sell up everything.

Then complain about buying back into the market.

rsot trying to be funny.

Monster Box can be a listing on ebay of a 'stack' of precious metals ( more often than not silver).

Those in the know know

I honestly prefer the Canadian Coins. Usually a lower premium the American Eagles. Now they have a few Variations aside from the Maple Leafs. Grizzly bear 1 oz Silver Coins and a few others.

For a while there was actually some profit to be made buying the empty monster boxes and coin tubes and reselling them on eBay. Too many people eventually figured it out however.
