SAVE
In April 2021, I bought 1600 oz. of silver and
18 oz. of gold from my out-of-state wholesalers.
That was $87,000 I had to send out of state.
PACKAGE DEALS
I’d rather buy local and keep that money here.
I also buy coins and currency collections from estates and
hand-me-downs. I buy 1964 and before dimes and quarters.
I also buy half-dollars dated 1970 and before.
