Whats your favorite thing about PMs

Postby TXBullion » Thu Nov 18, 2010 8:41 pm

Like it says, whats your favorite thing about PMs. Im more specifically referring to physical pms you have and not really in general.

I like the variety, coins, bars, junk , sterling, and you have a buffet with almost endless choices :lol: Well, just to get it started......

my favorite thing about pm's is the unmistakable jingle that 90% silver makes :D

The solid feel and heft of a large bar.

I like that I can bury them in a remote location pirate style and not worry about them rotting, being destroyed, stolen, or seized by the man. ;)

The shiny pure white of a brand new 0.999 coin gives me a special thrill. I especially liek to get a good twenty coins in my hand and just heft them. Feel like something REAL you know? Not like that toy money the gubbermints give us to play with. 8-)

That said, I lost all of mine in a tragic accident just yesterday.

Wow, I just lost a truck to fiery tweeker doom but at least my metal is safe in its earthen cocoon. Sorry to hear about that! The world can be a dangerous tragic place. However, I just rode my bike back from town and saw the full moon rise while the sun set and 4 rainbows were in the sky from the sunlight hitting the rain that had just past. The world is still beautiful and good!
