We have some precious metals. They are hard to cash in. We have to go to one of those sleezy-looking "we buy gold!" places. I went to one, just to check them out.

They were very pushy and wanted me to bring it in right away. That wasnt an option for a few reasons. They didnt care - they still wanted me to bring it in.

So, I dont know the answer to that. If you figure it out, let me know. :)

I wish I knew too, Kelly. My older sister was left silver from her husband when he died. She has used it carefully over the years. She does go to a precious metals place like you mentioned, but I went with her once and it was not one of the sleazy places. They were like a bank / safe, with strong security and very clean and respectable feeling. I don't know how many are like my experience vs yours? Did you look around? And now I'm wondering about banks... do they not deal with precious metals anymore? Not that I trust them either.......... With what's happening in the world, I can't help but want protection for my retirement fund, so it's there when I need it. I got out of the stock market for obv reasons, am avoiding bonds too for obv reasons.

Oooo...there is no way in hell i would ship gold or silver. I am sure they regularly "dont get delivered" nor returned.

Lol....I no longer trust banks. I trust the USPS even less. Thanks for the suggestion, tho! <3

I checked it out quite a bit today. I totally know what you mean. It "appears" quite secure. I'm not finished my research but I'm glad to have the chat with you! Thanks
