>>22832347 (OP)Impressive collection.
owning physical gold is kinda cringe since the dealer marks it up (so they can make money), you pay sales tax on the initial purchase, you pay capital gains tax when you go to sell, it's not very liquid (it's hard to find someone to take your gold for your asking price), and it carries the risk of it being swiped by someone. Kinda like keeping all your cash in your mattress and losing it all to a house fire.
>>22832351sure it's $120k now on paper, but after you subject the aforementioned tax and fees when you go to liquidate, it's really only like $80k :(
I mean unless you truly believe the dollar crash is imminent and you'll be able to barter with your gold, it's kinda pointless to own physical gold right now. I'd rather invest in food/ water/ tobacco/ bullets/ alcohol/ medicine/ seeds because those will be much more valuable than physical gold when SHTF
