Insider's Guide To Buying Gold & Silver At Wholesale
Insider Secrets to Buying The Right Metals, At DEALER Cost,
Without Having To Become a Licensed Bullion Dealer
By John S. White
Introduction:
I am probably a lot like you. As I continue to read, watch, hear and experience the
crazy gyrations going on in our economy, our government and our financial sectors, I
grow more concerned every day. I do my best to stay up on the economy, and the more
I learn, the more I know that it's imperative that I make some very wise investment
decisions sooner than later. What about you?
Above everything else, I knew I did not what to be one of those people who was not
paying attention... who got all of their information from the 6:00 news and went with the
flow... and got wiped out financially... not paying attention to what was REALLY going
on... nor doing anything proactively about it. I had done that a couple of times in the
past with investments and real estate and this time was going to be DIFFERENT.
Fortunately those experiences resulted in an education that helped me think differently
about wealth cycles, asset classes and financial protection.
I didn't want to just "think positive" and hope for the best and assume that the good
people running our government and our financial institutions had my best interest at
heart. Far from it. While I’m very patriotic and love my country, I’m terribly disappointed
in the economic decisions coming from the leaders at the top.
I decided to harness my concern about where this economy was going and use that as
motivation to study, research and do everything I reasonably could to find out what was
really happening and where the very best opportunities were today. Instead of being
freaked out by all of the craziness going on, I became determined to find a way to profit
from the craziness instead of being dragged down by it.
What this report represents is my personal study and research about the economy and
investing in gold and silver. I have read many, many books on the subject, attended
seminars, studied countless web sites, and met with different professionals in the
investment field.
As a result of my research, I was introduced to a unique group of very wealthy experts,
associates and mentors that have helped me understand what lies ahead. Everyone
has heard someone say at one time or another, “The rich get richer and the poor get
poorer.” It's true. The reason it's true is what few ever explain. The main reason is a
lack of financial education. Those who continue to act without the proper financial
education tend to continue to lose time and time again. In this book I'll share with you
what I've learned about investing in gold and silver and welcome you to our group. You
deserve to know the truth!
I placed a disclaimer at the beginning of this report however, it's worth repeating
here. This report is not meant to give you investment advice because I am not a
financial advisor. Like me, you should always seek the advice of an investment
professional before making any investment decisions. I have simply distilled the
information I have been studying for decades and condensed it to the most critical and
key strategies and information that I believe are the most important when buying gold &
silver.
In this brief report, I reveal to you the discoveries I have made about this whole
complicated and confusing issue of investing in gold and silver. I will share with you the
good, the bad and the ugly...and show you what I ultimately discovered.... and reveal to
you how much of the "smart money" is investing right now. I will hold nothing back. It
is my desire to educate you and help you on your journey.
Towards the end of this report, I will reveal to you how you can actually buy all of
the gold and silver you want... at true wholesale prices. I will show you how to buy
at the EXACT same prices that hundreds of "Preferred Precious Metals Dealers" buy
at, and you won't even have to go through the pain and hassle of getting a dealer's
license.
Okay... let's dive in and get going.
It's The Economy...
If you have been paying the least bit of attention to the
news and observing what's going on around the world,
then you instinctively know that things are way out of
whack... this time. This is Not like "Your Father's
Recession".
Just the simple fact that in the last several years the
United States has created more debt, than the combined
debt that we have managed to created since George
Washington was president... has got to tell you
something.
And as we all know from the recent collapse of the
housing market, anything that goes up like a rocket...
eventually collapses and causes a huge amount of pain
on the way down. The good news is ... collapses also
offer once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for those "in
the know."
In December 2010, the gross federal debt of the US surpassed 100% of GDP for the first time,
and total federal obligations are now at 443% of GDP. The Federal Reserve is now buying 75%
of all US debt that’s going up for auction because the rest of the world has simply stopped
buying.
What "buying" means is, the Fed is simply printing the money to pay for the debt. (That makes
since...right...or has everyone lost their @#!&^%* minds?) It’s 100% pure monetization, which
is always the primary cause of hyperinflation.
The US is officially
in “Ponzi- scheme
Mode”, issuing more and more new debt each month, to pay off the current obligations, while
hoping the economy will bounce back into full-blown growth mode and allow them to pay back
the debt at some point in the future. But with a debt-based, consumption-centric economy like
ours, you can’t solve a debt problem by encouraging consumers to take-on more debt.
I believe congress has two choices in 2011....They can take the road of austerity
through huge, massive budgetary cuts. If this takes place, we can expect to see riots in
the streets and union strikes just as we’ve seen in Europe throughout 2010......
Or….They can allow the Fed to keep printing fresh bills to pay the tab, ultimately leading
to the “hyperinflationary depression”.
My guess is that congress will not have the courage
nor the stamina to bite the bullet and make the huge
cuts that are necessary. The good news is... these
events will be the catalyst to massive increases in
the prices of gold & silver.
As this chart clearly shows, the dollar and gold have
been going in the opposite direction for some time
now. You want to make sure you are on the right
side of this trend!
However, this short report is not meant to be a detailed analysis of the economy, nor is
it to convince you that you need to invest in precious metals. My assumption here is... if
you are reading this report...you already know that you need to invest in gold and silver.
You just need to find out the answers to these questions:
1. What two types of metals make the wisest investments?
2. How do I invest so I don't get ripped off?
3. How do I Dramatically MAXIMIZE my investment dollars?
Ready... Fire... Aim
Funny how it is, when buying gold & silver many people totally forget about the AIM
part, and just do the Ready... Fire part. They make decisions emotionally without
gaining at least a basic understanding of what they are buying and how they should
purchase it. That's why I put together this report for you. To help you understand the
fundamentals and basic concepts of investing in precious metals so you will be armed
with the facts, and invest your money wisely and ... not totally get "ripped off" like so
many do.
Are you ready? Let's dive in...
So Many Investment Options... How Do I Choose
As you know, there are practically an unlimited number of different ways to invest in
gold & silver. Some make much, much better investments than others. Let's take a
quick look at the key factors of the most popular gold and silver investment options.
Gold & Silver ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) ETFs are simply securities that
trade like stocks. They are easy to buy & sell. GLD is the most popular gold ETF and
SLV is the most popular silver ETF. These can be very good vehicles for trading gold
& silver...but they lack a lot of key safeguards when it comes to investing in gold &
silver. These funds are intended to constitute a simple and cost-effective means of
making an investment similar to an investment in the actual metal itself. However, a
number of different analyst who have researched many of the gold and silver ETFs now
suspect that share prices may not be tied to the actual performance of the metal itself.
This is a very important issue and you need to do your own due diligence before
investing in ETFs.
Another problem with ETFs is many financial advisors believe the share prices of ALL
Stocks will be pulled down when the overall stock market goes down or crashes. Just
as a falling tide lowers all boats, a crashing stock market will take a lot of good stocks
down with it. Many experts believe the actual physical metals will perform far better
than ETFs and stocks in the long run.
Buying on Margin You hear it every day from the clean-cut, nicely dressed man on
TV advertising that not only can you buy gold and silver from him, you don't even need
to pay for it all up front. He is so nice, he will let you put only 20% down and then he will
loan you the rest of the money for your purchase. What a guy? And, he is only going to
charge you an interest rate on the amount you borrowed typically ranging from 1.3 to
2.5 times the rate of the best home loan rates. Sure, if you time it correctly, you can
make a good pop buying on margin.
Margin may be the right choice for you if you are a professional trader or have loads of
experience, have plenty of money, can afford to lose a lot of it, and are very lucky.
However, if that is not you...and if you like to be able to sleep at night ...and not worry
about losing your house if the market takes a sudden dip...then my suggestion is not to
touch margin accounts with a 10 foot pole. I have personally known two people who
have actually lost their personal residence as a result buying gold on margin...and they
were considered "experienced."
Numismatics There are several areas of numismatics that are outside the scope of
the gold and silver market and we'll leave those areas out of this discussion. For now I'll
cover the area of numismatics that involves collecting graded coins. I'm sure you've
noticed how many time slots on the television these days are filled with shows selling
coins? There are several different types of graded coins that can be collected and given
the current economic conditions there is one area of numismatics that has the most
potential for appreciation should things continue in the direction they have been going.
Given the recommendations of my mentors and experts, at this time, the other two
should be avoided. Let's discuss three classes of such coins:
1. Older, rare coins.
2. Commemorative coins
3. Modern issue graded coins
4. Non-graded bullion coins
Before we get into discussions about each let's talk for a minute about how the price of
a numismatic coin is calculated.
Numismatic coins have 3 layers of cost built into their price:
1. The metal content
2. The numismatic premium
3. The dealer profit
Of the three layers it is best to minimize #2 and completely eliminate #3. If you know
how and where to buy at wholesale you can do that...more on this later.
The metal content - When purchasing numismatic coins with the hope of having an
asset that increases in value it is safest to only deal in coins that are pure silver or gold.
I didn't understand this when I first began my collection and collected many coins that
were a mix of various metals and while many of these coins were quite nostalgic they
are of little value when measured for their silver or gold content. Stick with silver or
gold coins that are pure.
The numismatic premium – This is the premium placed on the coin for it's rarity, age
and grade. The key to minimizing this premium while still acquiring an asset that can
have significant appreciation based on the metal content is to avoid rare, aged coins.
Grading Services - To establish the value of a numismatic coin, coins are graded by
grading services. The top four grading services are: ICG, ANACS, PCGS and NGC.
Each service follows the standards of the Sheldon scale of grading where each coin is
rated based on specific characteristics for the given coin. A perfect MS70 grade can
sometimes be subjective however when a coin is graded that receives this designation it
can achieve a significant numismatic premium based on rarity and age.
Dealer profits – This is premium the dealer must place on the coin to cover their
overhead and create an income. Profits on numismatic coins can typically range from
15% to over 100%.
Older, Rare Coins These coins are the opposite of modern issue graded coins which
we'll discuss shortly. These are coins that are typically 20 or more years old. As time
goes on there are less and less coins that have been kept in perfect condition or have
not been in circulation and so they become more rare and begin to gain quite a bit of
numismatic premium. In tough economic times, many experts believe that these coins
while beautiful and nostalgic, will not hold their value.
In good economic times some coins can be worth many, many times the value of the
metal however, it is the opinion of many experts that these premiums will become less
important and it will be more about the metal content as economic times change.
Commemorative Coins Be very careful here. Many of the commemorative coins that
you see advertised on TV and in magazines are a complete waste of money. Some of
these are flat out scams. Many of these coins are only plated with various grades of
gold and silver and are far from pure. Almost 99% of all the counterfeit coins are
counterfeit numismatics and commemoratives ... they are seldom bullion coins.
Plus...if you need to sell the coins...who the heck wants them and is willing to pay
anything for them? When you need to sell some coins... you want coins that are
instantly recognized as the real thing. The best way to meet this instant recognition
is to purchase coins produced by the US Mint. My advice, forget about commemorative
coins and invest your money in the "real thing".
No one likes to think about it but if things get really tough in our country as some
experts and economist are now predicting, the dollar crashes, unemployment soars,
many more banks fail and things go from bad to worse...and we are forced to use our
gold and/or silver coins to buy, barter or trade with....what do you think will be the most
important at that time: (A) The fact that you have a 1 ounce silver American Eagle that
is pegged to be worth the current spot price of silver plus a small premium.... or (B) The
fact that you have a 1 ounce Morgan silver dollar that is very rare and at one time
carried a numismatic premium of a thousand dollars above the price of the metal itself?
Do you think at a time like that....when you really need the money...the person you are
exchanging it with is really going to care about the rarity of the coin that much? Do you
think the numismatic coin will maintain its same numismatic premium in bad times... as
it maintained in good times? That's for you to answer.
Modern Issue Graded Coins Modern issue graded silver and gold
coins are a rapidly growing class of numismatic coins. They currently
represent the majority of coins being graded by the top grading services.
These coins are typically less than ten years old with many millions of
coins in circulation. The most in demand coins in this class are those
receiving the designation MS70. Modern issue graded coins are a
simple and safe way to participate in numismatics. Because of their
age and abundant quantities, they typically carry a low numismatic
premium, thus limiting your down side risk. These assets tend to
appreciate over time and are valued by collectors. Modern issue graded
coins are a great way to diversify your silver & gold holdings.
Should tough economic times be in our future, very little will have been invested in the
numismatic premium of these coins which allows the asset to be considered as viable
for those interested in investing in gold and silver... while enjoying the beauty and
nostalgia of these coins.
Trends indicate that the most in-demand modern issue graded coin is the Silver
American Eagle produced by the U.S. Mint. Stay with me and I will show you how
you can create an income while collecting these assets and even get some of
these for free.
Non-graded bullion coins These are coins that are similar to the numismatic coins
mentioned above however they are not graded or collected for their nostalgia, rarity or
age. They are coins that are collected for their metal content. They differ in that they do
not have numismatic premium. Typically dealers will charge anywhere from 5% to over
40% over cost for these coins. In just a bit I will show you how you can buy them
for 0% over cost. Stay tuned.
Confiscation Recently I was doing some research and called one of the major gold
and silver dealers that you see advertising on TV practically 24/7. The "sales
person...or rather I say pit bull" that I talked to was totally indignant towards me. He
emphatically lectured me about the fact that they only sold numismatic and siminumismatic
coins because they were the ONLY coins that could not be confiscated by
the government. I can't believe these guys are shoveling out this garbage. Don't be
suckered in by this BS.
Let's get this one straight. Way back in 1933 President Roosevelt signed an executive
order requiring US citizens to turn over their gold to the Federal Reserve in exchange
for Federal Reserve notes (dollars). It's funny that less than 22 percent of the gold in
circulation was ever turned in.
On December 31, 1974, President Gerald Ford repealed the executive order that
Roosevelt signed and Congress restored Americans' right to own gold. Finally, in 1977
Congress removed the president's authority to regulate gold transactions.
Michael Maloney states that the United States is the only nation on the planet whose
dollar would go to zero if they confiscated our metals and doesn’t believe that would
ever happen.
He said it’s truly sad that this confiscation scare continues to be the root cause
for either inaction or poor silver and gold investment decision making.
As the law stands today there are no limits on gold and silver ownership. If the
government outlaws private gold ownership again, there is unfortunately nothing you or
I will be able to do about it.
Our government makes the rules and they can change the rules at any time. They can
do anything they darn well please...regardless of what Mr. Snotty metals salesman tells
you. This confiscation concept is perpetuated by unscrupulous dealers trying to scare
you to death so they can sell you what they want to sell you...their over-priced
numismatic coins. If you fall for it, you are going to end up buying the wrong coins, at
way inflated prices.
My advice, if any dealer even mentions "non-confiscatable," you should hang up the
phone or run the other way. There is simply no such thing as something the
government cannot confiscate. Lastly, if you decide to invest in gold and silver
American Eagle coins like I suggest, they are extremely private because there is no
reporting requirements when you buy and sell these coins. More on this shortly...
Foreign Coins Why not buy some South African Krugerrands, Canadian
Maple Leafs, British Sovereigns, French Roosters, Danish Mermaids, etc. Boy,
doesn't that sound sexy? Here are the facts. Any numismatic premium
associated with foreign coins diminishes outside the country of origin. So if you
buy some of these sexy foreign coins... when it comes time to sell them... if you
want to get the best price... you may have to have to find buyers in the respective
countries. Then you are going to have to ship them overseas to the buyer....and
you have the exchange rates to deal with.
Additionally, some foreign coins have varying weights like 0.2354 troy ounce, etc.
They are seldom one full troy ounce and they are seldom stamped with their
metal content or purity... but only stamped with a denomination. Due to the above
factors, foreign coins are much more difficult to sell and are of limited value in an
emergency. Well then, "Why do so many of those metals dealers/salespeople
push them so hard?" You guessed it. They often place higher mark-ups on them
so they can make more profit on them. In my opinion... why bother? Why not
keep it simple and just do it the easy and safe way?
IRS Reporting Requirements Great news! In the United States there is NO
LIMIT to the amount of precious metals you can own, and neither the dealer nor
the customer is required to report the purchase of any precious metal, in any
quantity, at any time. There is no IRS form for reporting precious metals
transactions.
Note however, with any transaction...or two or more related transactions...that
involve cash or cash equivalents in the amount of $10,000 or greater must be
reported to the IRS by the seller. It's the dealer who must report the cash
transaction, not the precious metals transaction. Suggestion. If you want to
purchase large amounts of precious metals, use a bank wire. Banks don't report
them and precious metals dealers aren't required to either.
Reporting of Sales of Precious Metals When you decide to cash out and
sell you gold and/or silver to a dealer, some gold and silver items DO require the
dealer to file form 1099B reporting the transaction.
Good news. The dealer reporting requirements DO NOT apply to American Gold
or Silver Eagle Coins regardless of the quantity.
Note on Capital Gains: When you sell, you are obligated to report your capital gains to
the IRS. Remember to keep your receipts and records and always seek advice from
your tax advisor. Don't confuse the dealer reporting with IRS reporting.
One last suggestion: While this is my understanding based on experts who
understand the laws at the time of this writing, always consult your tax attorney for
updates and accuracy in paying your taxes and clarifying your liabilities in the sale of
coins.
Gold or Silver, Which One Should I Buy?
Personally I believe both metals offer large upside
opportunities. However, most people want to
maximize their investments and invest in the "very
best" areas possible, that offer the highest potential
rate of return.
Here's the story. For thousands of years since
gold and silver has been the primary form of money on planet earth, the
exchange rate has averaged 12 ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold. A 12 to 1
ratio. Yes, throughout history this ratio has had wild swings due to wars, politics,
inflation, deflation, manipulation, etc., ...but when you average it all out, the
historical average is a 12 to 1 ratio. As I write this report, the ratio is 48 ounces
of silver to 1 ounce of gold. Doing the math, if we were to only get back to the 12
to 1 ratio today, silver would be about $120 per ounce today!
Given enough time, values always revert back to their mean. When anything is so
disproportionally out of whack, it usually overshoots the mean before settling
back to its historical average. The longer and further out of whack it is... the
further it will usually overshoot the average.
Here are some interesting facts. Silver truly is an indispensable metal. It is the
most electrically conductive, thermally conductive, and reflective element. Silver
is used in just about every type of electronics we can imagine, batteries,
photography, medical application, mirrors, reflective coating, silverware, solar
energy cells, soldering, water purification, brazing, coins, electrical conductors,
electroplating, jewelry, and much, much more.
Gold on the other hand has two basic uses, money and jewelry. Today less than
10% of gold production is used in industrial applications. Ninety percent of all
the gold ever mined throughout history is still available for purchase somewhere.
In the early 1960s the United States had a stockpile of silver totaling over 3.5
Billion ounces. Today it's shrunk to only 20 Million ounces and the rest of the
world's governments have followed suit.
If we are running so low on silver, why don't they just mine more of it? Well, it's
not so easy. 75% of newly minded silver is found as a by-product while mining
for copper, lead, zinc, and gold. Current silver mine production is a little over
500 million ounces per year, and primary silver mine producers produce only 25%
of that.
The average time to take a new silver mine from discovery to production is 5 to 7
years... and even longer in countries and states with strict environmental laws.
Additionally the world is running out of silver underground as well. According to
the USGS, at current rates of production, the two metals we will run out of first
are gold and silver. At these rates gold reserves will be exhausted in 30 years
and silver in just 25 years.
Some experts believe we are on the verge of the greatest silver boom history has
ever seen. As the dollar continues to collapse, big investors will first turn to gold,
and that will dramatically drive gold's price up.
Then.... when the general public finally catches on to what's going on, gold will
look really expensive to them. In a frenzy, people will rush to sliver, just as the
stockpiles are practically diminished and production has practically stopped.
That is when silver prices will Explode.
Due to all of the above, it's my opinion... and the opinion of experts, my mentors and
billionaire investors that silver clearly offers the highest potential rate of return.
I have heard some really smart people suggest that silver could exceed $1,500
per ounce. Do I think it will go that high? I have no idea. I can tell you that at the
current price of silver... if silver only gets back to it's all-time historic ratio of 12 to
1, that will give us a 400% increase from the current price of silver.
I am pretty sure the stock market is not going to offer those kinds of returns and I
am not aware of anything else... at this time... that can offer those kinds of
returns. So yea... I personally think silver is the place to be right now.
What Do I Buy....Bars, Coins, 90% or 40% Coins?
When you go to most precious metals dealer sites,
you are faced with an overwhelming number of
different products to buy. If you don't know what to
buy, it can be very confusing. So what's the best
form of metal to buy? Well...it depends. It depends
on how much money you have to invest, what your
reasons are for investing, where you plan to store
the metals you buy, etc. For this report, I am going
to talk about options for the average investor.
You can buy bars of silver and gold in many different
sizes. These typically carry a lower premium than
coins due to there being less labor and production cost to produce them. Here is
a key point to keep in mind. If you ever think you may need to use your silver or
gold as a means of exchange, trade or barter.... it's much, much easier to use
coins instead of giant 100 ounce bars, for example. I mean, big bars of metal are
just not that practical to use or carry around.
Plus... when selling them, some buyers will need to have them inspected to be
sure they have not been hollowed out and filled with filler metals. Another
benefit to coins is that you can sell smaller quantities at a time... along and
along... instead of having to sell a huge bar all at one time.
Of course you can buy the bags of 90% or 40% silver US coins. For the most
part, these are pre 1965 US coins that were made up of 90% or 40% actual silver.
You can typically buy $1,000 face value bags of these coins. The pros are; they
are easy to use as barter coinage. You may remember during the gasoline
shortage when Jimmy Carter was in office, some gas station owners were gladly
taking these in trade for gas because silver prices were soaring at that time.
For the cons, these bags are large, heavy, bulky and take up a lot of space. Plus,
when you go to sell, they won't get near as big of an investment bang when silver
soars ...because they will have to be melted down and refined to separate the
silver from the coins. Many times this silver will sell at a significant discount
because of that. My suggestion is to forget about these bags and always buy
0.999 investment grade fine silver.
For me, I believe the single best, easiest, simplest and most practical way to
invest in silver...is with 1 ounce United State Silver Eagle Coins. Here are the
benefits to investing in these coins:
o The Silver Eagle coin is the legal tender silver coin for the United States
with a $1 face value, however, its intrinsic silver market value is far higher.
o The Silver Eagle is an extremely liquid silver investment backed by the
United States government.
o The Silver Eagle can be used in legal contracts based on their $1 face
value, but they are traded according to the market rate for silver.
o The Silver Eagle has a beautiful design recognized and highly tradable all
over the world.
o The Silver Eagle garners the highest bid prices for silver bullion in North
America.
o The Silver Eagle in the United States is the most recognized and trusted
silver investment vehicle on the market.
o The Silver Eagle is .999 fine silver and acceptable for your precious metal
IRA.
o The Silver Eagle has 1 oz fine silver stamped in English on the coin.
o US Silver Eagles are .999 fine silver bullion coins making them an
excellent hedge against a currency crisis and a great option for
emergency coinage
o The Silver Eagle is exempt from IRS 1099B brokerage reporting which
makes the American Silver Eagle one of the most private investments in
the world.
For me, it's a no-brainer. Just stick with the Silver Eagles... don't try and get too fancy...
and you can't go wrong.
Storage... Where Do I Keep Them
Once you purchase your gold and silver, you have a number of options when it comes
to storage.
Bank Safe Deposit Boxes Many people like to simply put their metals in their
bank safe deposit box. That's clearly a viable option, at least for some of your holdings,
but do keep a few things in mind. If your back is closed, you can't get to your metals.
The week following the attacks of 911, the banks were closed for the week... and you
would have been unable to get to your metals. Also, if your bank were to go out of
business, you would have to wait until they decided to let safe deposit box holders back
in to retrieve their contents.
Additionally, the contents of safe deposit boxes are not insured by the bank nor by FDIC
insurance. Many investors believe it's wise to diversify the storage of your metals and
spread it out among a number of different storage options.
Home Safe Many investors like to have at least some of their gold and silver where
they can always keep their hands on it.... and a home safe is a great solution for this.
You may want to have a conversation with your home insurance agent first. When it
comes to choosing the right safe, remember... you get what you pay for. If you are
going to store your valuable assets... don't choose the cheapest safe you can find. A
combination Fire and Burglary safe often makes a great choice if it is a high quality safe.
Shop around and talk with some professional safe companies. They help people just
like yourself everyday and can give you great advise.
Bury It Some people like to get PVC pipes, attached the screw-on or glue-on ends,
and bury their gold and silver in the ground. If you choose to do that, construct a solid
plan for remembering where you buried it, and be careful who you tell about it. Also
remember some people use metal detectors for just such a thing... so be smart and
careful...and bury it deep enough to avoid detection from metal detectors.
Vault Storage There are a number of companies throughout the US and around the
world that offer very secure vault storage. This is the most secure form of storage there
is. Your metals are safe, secure and insured. You can sleep well knowing they are not
going anywhere. It does pay to shop around as the monthly vault fees and terms of
service do vary widely. When you purchase your metals, you can just have them
shipped directly to your vault storage company.
What you may not have known about storage is that you can own gold and silver in a
private storage depository (PSD) that’s not part of the financial system like
Www.minesgold.com. Www.minesgold.com , is not a part of the banking system and
doesn’t fall under banking laws and in fact, they call themselves UPS with guns. It’s
basically and delivery service. This ensures your privacy.
During the week of 9/11, the government shut down the banking system, but Brink’s
was still open, doing business, and shipping and receiving gold and silver. They are
only closed one day / year; Christmas.
With Www.minesgold.com, your gold and silver will be counted under the watchful eye
of an auditor and under videotape surveillance. The counter and the auditor both have
to sign an inventory list, then your precious metals are placed into a container and
sealed, tagged with your name, account number, contents and securely stored in the
vault.
Your holdings are not carried as an asset on the PSD's books so if the PSD files
bankruptcy, closes for any reason or changes ownership, your precious metals are still
safe and are still yours. Also, when you purchase your metals, you can just have them
shipped directly to your vault storage company if you wish.
(Note: Since I promote gold and silver programs publicly on my blog, etc., I choose to
keep all of my metals in off-site vault storage and suggest you do too if you publicly
promote such programs.)
Gold and Silver For Your IRA
Many financial planners are now suggesting investors have 10% to 40% of their
investment portfolio in gold and silver. There are a handful of companies that allow you
to have physical gold and silver in your IRA account. If your current IRA custodial
account does not allow this... you can shop around, find the right company, and transfer
some or all of your funds to a new IRA account that you open with a company that does
allow physical gold and silver. One such company that offers this service is:
Where To Buy
This is the big, big question that I get asked all of the time. When buying physical gold
and silver you basically have two options... (1) coin shops and (2) online bullion dealers.
Most typically your local coin shops will need to charge high prices to cover their
overhead and relatively low volume of sales. It's rare to find good prices for bullion at
coin shops.
There are seemingly an endless number of online bullion dealers... and their prices,
products and sales approach varies greatly. Recently I was conducting research for this
report and contacted the top dozen online bullion companies. Many of these advertise
non-stop on TV, radio, direct mail, via the web and more. You would recognize their
names immediately. Caution, if you decide to do this... I suggest you have skin as thick
as a rhinoceros. You'll need it!
Many of these "sales people" make the most hardened used car
salespeople look like total wimps. I found there was no barrier to what
they would say to get you to buy... and buy right now...and buy what
they wanted you to buy. If you failed to comply with their wishes, they
would question your manhood and your intelligence. Really, no kidding.
I had one guy tell me they were not there to answer my questions...
they were just there to sell.... and I either needed to buy something 'right then', or they
did not have time for me.... they had 500 people standing in line to talk with them and if I
was not ready to purchase right then... I needed to hang up and call back when I was
ready to buy.
One of the first questions they press you for is how much money do you have 'right now'
to invest. If I gave them a low figure (testing their minimums), some of them insulted me
on the spot and treated me like a total looser. Also... some of them said flat out... if you
aren't liquid right now for at least 5K, 10K, 15K or up.... (depending on that companies'
minimum purchase amount)... I was simply not qualified to talk with them.
I can't remember the last time I was made to feel like such a third-class citizen. For the
most part, people skills and customer service was not part of the program. It was just...
go for the kill right off the bat....and if it doesn't look like an easy quick kill.... move on to
the next victim. This is not exactly the way I like to do business. I couldn't help feeling
sorry for the hundreds of non-experienced people who call them and who are easily
manipulated....and are "sold" before they even know what happened.
In addition to most of them being so "pleasant" to deal with... the fees many of them
charged were absolutely ridiculous. Seriously, some of them charge mark ups of 30% to
40% over the spot price. Do you know how big that is? Your bullion has to
appreciate 30% to 40% before you can even break even. I am surprised some of
these guys are not wearing a mask and a gun to conduct business.
TV, Radio and Magazine Advertising I am sure you have seen and heard the
bullion dealers who seem to advertize non-stop on TV, radio, in magazines, etc. I am
sure you also instinctively know this.... but just stop for a moment and imagine what the
advertising bill must be for these companies. Next, ask yourself what they must have to
pay their "black-belt sales people"...you know they don't work cheap.
Want to guess where all the money comes from to cover this kind of overhead? You got
it. They have to charge a lot more for their products to cover this tremendous
overhead. In actuality, their customers are paying for all of the advertising. My
suggestion.... Never buy from companies like this unless you want to pay a lot more for
your gold & silver.
Beware Of The Fees & Charges I am not making this stuff up. Some of these
bullion dealers charge the following types of fees....and if you don't ask and pull-it-outof-
them.... most of them don't even bring these fees up until you are in the middle of
finalizing your purchase. Get a load of some of these types of fees: (a) commission
fees, (b) broker fees, (c) amount over spot costs, (d) payment processing fee, (e)
shipping fee, (f) handling fee, (g) insurance fee, and more. These are simply additional
profit centers for the companies. Some of them will offer really low prices per-coin up
front...to get you interested....and then make their profits from you via these "back-end"
profit centers. Don't take these fees for granted, they can really add up and cost your
dearly. You have to ask the right questions up front... if you want to shop wisely.
(When I was doing my research and asking some of these questions about their fees ...
some of the salespeople became upset that I would even ask about these fees. They
tried to make me feel like a total cheapskate for even asking the question. Their comeback
was; "If gold & silver go up like we think it will...these fees will be tiny and
meaningless compared to your gains....and if you don't think it's going up that much,
you should hang up and quit wasting my time". What a ridiculous way to look at it and
handle my objection to their high fees. My reaction... they can keep their metals and
their high fees. I am a smart shopper and I know I can do much better than that!)
Keep in mind, how you must pay for your metals also varies. Some require you to
FedEx your payment to them... an extra cost of time and money for you to deal with.
Some even charge you an additional fee, (a payment processing fee), just for the
privilege of paying by credit card. Wow. It's shocking to see how some of these
companies treat their customers.
Here's The BIG, BIG BIG Thing...
If you are buying American Eagle silver or gold coins, remember this.... an American
Eagle... is an American Eagle. It makes absolutely no difference where you buy it
from... it's the EXACT same coin. It's a commodity. They all come from the United
States Mint. Just because you may pay 30% more for your coins when buying from a
particular dealer, doesn't make them any more valuable than if bought them at
wholesale. When buying, you simply take the QUALITY issue off the table. It's a nonissue.
It pretty much goes without saying that you want to deal with a trustworthy and
reputable dealer. You need to do your homework and be sure that the dealer you
choose to work with is solid, stable, honest, has a good track record and are the type of
people you want to do business with. As I always say, you can't make a good deal with
bad people.
PRICE, PRICE, PRICE
I my opinion... other than the above mentioned safeguards... PRICE is the most
important thing when it comes to buying silver and gold. After all. You are investing in
gold and silver to make a profit...right? So you might as well make the most profit as
you possibly can...right? And...the lower price you buy your coins for... the more profit
you will make.... right? Pretty simple...eah?
GREAT QUESTION: What if you could find a gold and silver bullion dealer who did not
need to make a profit on the sales of their gold and silver? What if you could find a
bullion dealer who would sell you all of the gold and silver you wanted.... At Cost... At
Wholesale.... At Preferred Dealer Prices? What if you could buy all of your gold and
silver at the exact same price as hundreds of bullion dealers buy their inventory for....
and you wouldn't even have to get your bullion dealers license to do it?
Does all of this sound too good to be true? Of course it does. After all... how could a
company stay in business if they don't make ANY profit of the sale of the gold and silver
they sell?
ANSWER.... A company could do it if they were a private membership, wholesale
buyers club. If they were a company who made their profits from the sale of
memberships... and not from the sale of the actual gold and silver itself.
You may be asking yourself right now... Is there a company like this?
Well ladies and gentlemen, that is exactly what I discovered after years of searching...
and after years of paying far, far too much for my precious metals. It's a company called
Preservation Of Wealth (POW for short.) The name says what it does, it helps you
Preserve Your Wealth.
Preservation Of Wealth was started in July of 2009 in Frisco, TX (just outside of Dallas).
The business model they chose to use is somewhat similar to that of very well known
wholesale buyers clubs like Sam's Wholesale Club....(part of Wal-Mart) and Costco.
I'm sure you have heard of them and you are likely already be a member. With Sam's
Club and Costco, you pay an annual membership fee and then you get to buy all of the
merchandise you want, at greatly reduced prices, all year long. Smart!
At Preservation Of Wealth, you pay a Life Time Benefits fee, you get to buy all of the
gold and silver you want... at dealer cost.... at wholesale. The savings are amazing!
The company absolutely, positively makes nothing, zero, zip, nada on the sale of the
actual gold and silver you buy. All of their profits come from the benefits packages and
an "optional" auto-ship program that is available to members. That's it. In fact,
Preservation Of Wealth is such a great value that hundreds of gold & silver DEALERS
join because they can buy their inventory less expensively here... than anywhere else!
Did you catch that? Let me repeat... The prices are so good at Preservation Of
Wealth that hundreds of Gold & Silver Dealers have joined because they can get
Better Prices than they were paying before they found POW! These dealers buy
from POW... mark up the gold & silver they buy... and then sell it to their customers at
the marked up prices. That is how they make a living!
Now... YOU have the opportunity to buy... at the Exact Same Prices these Dealers are
buying at. That's a big deal! As far as we know... POW is the ONLY Gold & Silver
Buyers Program of this type in the world.
So I bet you're thinking it must cost a lot for the life time benefits package for such a
unique private club. I think you're going to be shocked at just how low it is. It only cost
$249 to join Preservation Of Wealth. That is a one-time, life time benefits fee. Plus
you get a totally free POW web site, a back office, marketing info and more.... all totally
free.
You are probably thinking; "Okay...that sounds pretty darn good....but how long will it
take me in savings to make my initial investment back?" Good question. It depends on
how much silver & gold you buy. To form a comparison, one of our team leaders made a
purchase from a very respected bullion dealer whom I personally know many 'guru
investors', who are house-hold names, purchase from. (Plus...this dealer is NOT one
who advertises on TV and Radio ....thus, they don't have to charge a lot more to cover
their ridiculous advertising cost.)
The minimum quantity of Silver Eagles he could buy from this particular dealer was one
tube (20 one oz. Silver Eagles come per tube.) He made back-to-back purchases of 20
Silver Eagles... one from this big-time dealer and one from POW, on the same
afternoon, within minutes of each other... so he could get the best comparison pricewise.
Below is a chart showing the differences in cost between this big-time dealer and
POW.
As you can see.... it cost him 21% MORE to buy the EXACT SAME COINS from the
big-time dealer... than it did from POW. All total he paid $132.90 MORE for the
privilege of buying from the big-time dealer. Thus... he could have purchased 4 more
Silver Eagle coins from POW with the money he would have saved from the other
dealer. And that savings was with only buying 20 coins. Just think how much you
can save if you bought a lot of coins?
So, with an average savings of $6.64 Per Coin.... You only have to purchase 38
Silver American Eagles to re-coop your initial net POW. Plus... I can absolutely
assure you that there are many, many dealers out that who charge much more than my
test case. So if you only plan on buying a few coins, POW may not be for you.
However, if you plan on buying 38 or more Silver Eagles, it's an absolute nobrainer!
Funny thing.... when he received the two shipments, (and it took him about 2 weeks
longer to receive the shipment from the big name dealer... than it did from POW)... he
put both of the tubes on his desk.... took the coins out.... and compared them. They
were of course exactly alike. The only difference was that one cost him 21%
MORE... or $6.64 Per Coin MORE than the other ones. I'm sure he would have much
rather received 4 more coins... but it was all part of his research.
No Minimum Or Maximum Purchases
With Preservation Of Wealth there are NO
MINIMUM PURCHASES. If you want to simply
buy 1 Silver Eagle coin.... fine.... no problem. You
pay the exact same "per coin price" that you would if you were to buy a million of
them.... because there are no mark-ups what-so-ever.
No Purchase LIMIT With POW you can absolutely buy as much silver and gold as you
want. There is NO Maximum Limit on how much you can buy. You are only limited by
the amount of money you have to invest :)
Some of the members of POW have net worth's of 7 and 8 figures. (They can sniff out
a bargain when they see it!) It's not uncommon for members buy hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of metals at a time. Some members even make 7 figure
purchases.
With POW, you can make no purchases... or you can make as many as you want... it's
all up to you.
No Way To Compete Since Preservation Of Wealth makes No Profits on the sales of
its bullion.... there is no way for any other "traditional" bullion dealers to compete....
unless they want to pay you to buy their metals. They have to mark-up their coins to
make a profit and stay in business.
It Pays To Share I am not going to spend much time discussing this here.... but
POW also has a Marketing Program that pays you to share this with others. Here's the
idea. Most people who invest in gold and silver... know other people who also invest in
gold and silver. And.... most people who like to save money and buy At Cost.... also
know others who like to buy at cost and save money.
When you share POW with others... you earn $100 for
every person you refer who joins under you. Plus there is
a bianary that your people get placed into that pays you to
Infinity.
Thinking small....if you just refer 2 friends to this
program... your membership becomes almost Free.
Thinking Big.... there is no limit to the amount of money you could make by catching
this amazing wave that is forming in gold and silver investing.... and sharing this with the
huge number of people who are becoming silver and gold investors right now. (There
are absolutely No Requirements to share or market this program at all. If you only want
to use POW to buy your bullion at cost... no problem, that's perfectly fine. You never
have to tell another soul about it. It's just an option.)
Personally I love buying at wholesale and getting the very most that I can for my money.
I also like sharing great values with my friends & family and business associates. If you
would like to find out more information about Preservation Of Wealth, and the many
benefits of joining my team, please visit my web site or give me a call.

Buy sharing this incredible opportunity with others, you can build a very large and strong
team of POW members throughout the United States. As a result, you can create a
healthy additional stream of income... which will give you even more money to invest
into silver and gold!
I can't tell you the last time I was as excited about anything as I am about POW!
1) We have the Exact Same gold and silver products as everyone else has.
2) We have THE Absolute Lowest Prices that you will find anywhere! No one beats our
prices!
3) There is a HUGE wave forming of millions of people who every-day are realizing the

purchasing power against a devaluing dollar. Our Timing and Positioning are
PERFECT!
4) POW pays out to it's members, "By Far" the highest in the industry...so you can make
a lot of money with this if you apply yourself!

The Time Is NOW These are truly unprecedented times. Some very big players are
taking enormous positions in gold and silver right now as you read this. Now more than
any other time in human history, you have the potential to increase your net worth
exponentially during this economic upheaval... all without exposing yourself to great
risk.
Michael Maloney, one of Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad's Advisors and author of "Guide
to Investing in Gold & Silver" says, "This is not just a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity. It is a once-in-human existence opportunity, and it will never come
again. The coming wealth transfer will be the likes of which the world has never
seen."
David Wiedemer, PHD and economist says, "Gold is a rising bubble on its way to
becoming one of the biggest asset bubbles of all time." It seems to me that we are
in the early stages of a massive, spring-loaded explosion in gold and silver prices... and
I can't think of a better position to be in other than being able to offer the "average
person" the ability to buy gold & silver at true wholesale prices.
I encourage you to do your own homework & research and decide what is best for you
and your family. I am happy to have made this information available to you and hope
that you learned some important information that will save you from making some
serious mistakes with your investments, and hopefully save you a lot of money by now
knowing how to buy wisely.
Wishing you the very best life has to offer and great investing success.

Insider's Guide To Buying Gold & Silver At Wholesale
Insider Secrets to Buying The Right Metals, At DEALER Cost,
Without Having To Become a Licensed Bullion Dealer
By John S. White
Introduction:
I am probably a lot like you. As I continue to read, watch, hear and experience the
crazy gyrations going on in our economy, our government and our financial sectors, I
grow more concerned every day. I do my best to stay up on the economy, and the more
I learn, the more I know that it's imperative that I make some very wise investment
decisions sooner than later. What about you?
Above everything else, I knew I did not what to be one of those people who was not
paying attention... who got all of their information from the 6:00 news and went with the
flow... and got wiped out financially... not paying attention to what was REALLY going
on... nor doing anything proactively about it. I had done that a couple of times in the
past with investments and real estate and this time was going to be DIFFERENT.
Fortunately those experiences resulted in an education that helped me think differently
about wealth cycles, asset classes and financial protection.
I didn't want to just "think positive" and hope for the best and assume that the good
people running our government and our financial institutions had my best interest at
heart. Far from it. While I’m very patriotic and love my country, I’m terribly disappointed
in the economic decisions coming from the leaders at the top.
I decided to harness my concern about where this economy was going and use that as
motivation to study, research and do everything I reasonably could to find out what was
really happening and where the very best opportunities were today. Instead of being
freaked out by all of the craziness going on, I became determined to find a way to profit
from the craziness instead of being dragged down by it.
What this report represents is my personal study and research about the economy and
investing in gold and silver. I have read many, many books on the subject, attended
seminars, studied countless web sites, and met with different professionals in the
investment field.
As a result of my research, I was introduced to a unique group of very wealthy experts,
associates and mentors that have helped me understand what lies ahead. Everyone
has heard someone say at one time or another, “The rich get richer and the poor get
poorer.” It's true. The reason it's true is what few ever explain. The main reason is a
lack of financial education. Those who continue to act without the proper financial
education tend to continue to lose time and time again. In this book I'll share with you
what I've learned about investing in gold and silver and welcome you to our group. You
deserve to know the truth!
I placed a disclaimer at the beginning of this report however, it's worth repeating
here. This report is not meant to give you investment advice because I am not a
financial advisor. Like me, you should always seek the advice of an investment
professional before making any investment decisions. I have simply distilled the
information I have been studying for decades and condensed it to the most critical and
key strategies and information that I believe are the most important when buying gold &
silver.
In this brief report, I reveal to you the discoveries I have made about this whole
complicated and confusing issue of investing in gold and silver. I will share with you the
good, the bad and the ugly...and show you what I ultimately discovered.... and reveal to
you how much of the "smart money" is investing right now. I will hold nothing back. It
is my desire to educate you and help you on your journey.
Towards the end of this report, I will reveal to you how you can actually buy all of
the gold and silver you want... at true wholesale prices. I will show you how to buy
at the EXACT same prices that hundreds of "Preferred Precious Metals Dealers" buy
at, and you won't even have to go through the pain and hassle of getting a dealer's
license.
Okay... let's dive in and get going.
It's The Economy...
If you have been paying the least bit of attention to the
news and observing what's going on around the world,
then you instinctively know that things are way out of
whack... this time. This is Not like "Your Father's
Recession".
Just the simple fact that in the last several years the
United States has created more debt, than the combined
debt that we have managed to created since George
Washington was president... has got to tell you
something.
And as we all know from the recent collapse of the
housing market, anything that goes up like a rocket...
eventually collapses and causes a huge amount of pain
on the way down. The good news is ... collapses also
offer once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for those "in
the know."
In December 2010, the gross federal debt of the US surpassed 100% of GDP for the first time,
and total federal obligations are now at 443% of GDP. The Federal Reserve is now buying 75%
of all US debt that’s going up for auction because the rest of the world has simply stopped
buying.
What "buying" means is, the Fed is simply printing the money to pay for the debt. (That makes
since...right...or has everyone lost their @#!&^%* minds?) It’s 100% pure monetization, which
is always the primary cause of hyperinflation.
The US is officially
in “Ponzi- scheme
Mode”, issuing more and more new debt each month, to pay off the current obligations, while
hoping the economy will bounce back into full-blown growth mode and allow them to pay back
the debt at some point in the future. But with a debt-based, consumption-centric economy like
ours, you can’t solve a debt problem by encouraging consumers to take-on more debt.
I believe congress has two choices in 2011....They can take the road of austerity
through huge, massive budgetary cuts. If this takes place, we can expect to see riots in
the streets and union strikes just as we’ve seen in Europe throughout 2010......
Or….They can allow the Fed to keep printing fresh bills to pay the tab, ultimately leading
to the “hyperinflationary depression”.
My guess is that congress will not have the courage
nor the stamina to bite the bullet and make the huge
cuts that are necessary. The good news is... these
events will be the catalyst to massive increases in
the prices of gold & silver.
As this chart clearly shows, the dollar and gold have
been going in the opposite direction for some time
now. You want to make sure you are on the right
side of this trend!
However, this short report is not meant to be a detailed analysis of the economy, nor is
it to convince you that you need to invest in precious metals. My assumption here is... if
you are reading this report...you already know that you need to invest in gold and silver.
You just need to find out the answers to these questions:
1. What two types of metals make the wisest investments?
2. How do I invest so I don't get ripped off?
3. How do I Dramatically MAXIMIZE my investment dollars?
Ready... Fire... Aim
Funny how it is, when buying gold & silver many people totally forget about the AIM
part, and just do the Ready... Fire part. They make decisions emotionally without
gaining at least a basic understanding of what they are buying and how they should
purchase it. That's why I put together this report for you. To help you understand the
fundamentals and basic concepts of investing in precious metals so you will be armed
with the facts, and invest your money wisely and ... not totally get "ripped off" like so
many do.
Are you ready? Let's dive in...
So Many Investment Options... How Do I Choose
As you know, there are practically an unlimited number of different ways to invest in
gold & silver. Some make much, much better investments than others. Let's take a
quick look at the key factors of the most popular gold and silver investment options.
Gold & Silver ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) ETFs are simply securities that
trade like stocks. They are easy to buy & sell. GLD is the most popular gold ETF and
SLV is the most popular silver ETF. These can be very good vehicles for trading gold
& silver...but they lack a lot of key safeguards when it comes to investing in gold &
silver. These funds are intended to constitute a simple and cost-effective means of
making an investment similar to an investment in the actual metal itself. However, a
number of different analyst who have researched many of the gold and silver ETFs now
suspect that share prices may not be tied to the actual performance of the metal itself.
This is a very important issue and you need to do your own due diligence before
investing in ETFs.
Another problem with ETFs is many financial advisors believe the share prices of ALL
Stocks will be pulled down when the overall stock market goes down or crashes. Just
as a falling tide lowers all boats, a crashing stock market will take a lot of good stocks
down with it. Many experts believe the actual physical metals will perform far better
than ETFs and stocks in the long run.
Buying on Margin You hear it every day from the clean-cut, nicely dressed man on
TV advertising that not only can you buy gold and silver from him, you don't even need
to pay for it all up front. He is so nice, he will let you put only 20% down and then he will
loan you the rest of the money for your purchase. What a guy? And, he is only going to
charge you an interest rate on the amount you borrowed typically ranging from 1.3 to
2.5 times the rate of the best home loan rates. Sure, if you time it correctly, you can
make a good pop buying on margin.
Margin may be the right choice for you if you are a professional trader or have loads of
experience, have plenty of money, can afford to lose a lot of it, and are very lucky.
However, if that is not you...and if you like to be able to sleep at night ...and not worry
about losing your house if the market takes a sudden dip...then my suggestion is not to
touch margin accounts with a 10 foot pole. I have personally known two people who
have actually lost their personal residence as a result buying gold on margin...and they
were considered "experienced."
Numismatics There are several areas of numismatics that are outside the scope of
the gold and silver market and we'll leave those areas out of this discussion. For now I'll
cover the area of numismatics that involves collecting graded coins. I'm sure you've
noticed how many time slots on the television these days are filled with shows selling
coins? There are several different types of graded coins that can be collected and given
the current economic conditions there is one area of numismatics that has the most
potential for appreciation should things continue in the direction they have been going.
Given the recommendations of my mentors and experts, at this time, the other two
should be avoided. Let's discuss three classes of such coins:
1. Older, rare coins.
2. Commemorative coins
3. Modern issue graded coins
4. Non-graded bullion coins
Before we get into discussions about each let's talk for a minute about how the price of
a numismatic coin is calculated.
Numismatic coins have 3 layers of cost built into their price:
1. The metal content
2. The numismatic premium
3. The dealer profit
Of the three layers it is best to minimize #2 and completely eliminate #3. If you know
how and where to buy at wholesale you can do that...more on this later.
The metal content - When purchasing numismatic coins with the hope of having an
asset that increases in value it is safest to only deal in coins that are pure silver or gold.
I didn't understand this when I first began my collection and collected many coins that
were a mix of various metals and while many of these coins were quite nostalgic they
are of little value when measured for their silver or gold content. Stick with silver or
gold coins that are pure.
The numismatic premium – This is the premium placed on the coin for it's rarity, age
and grade. The key to minimizing this premium while still acquiring an asset that can
have significant appreciation based on the metal content is to avoid rare, aged coins.
Grading Services - To establish the value of a numismatic coin, coins are graded by
grading services. The top four grading services are: ICG, ANACS, PCGS and NGC.
Each service follows the standards of the Sheldon scale of grading where each coin is
rated based on specific characteristics for the given coin. A perfect MS70 grade can
sometimes be subjective however when a coin is graded that receives this designation it
can achieve a significant numismatic premium based on rarity and age.
Dealer profits – This is premium the dealer must place on the coin to cover their
overhead and create an income. Profits on numismatic coins can typically range from
15% to over 100%.
Older, Rare Coins These coins are the opposite of modern issue graded coins which
we'll discuss shortly. These are coins that are typically 20 or more years old. As time
goes on there are less and less coins that have been kept in perfect condition or have
not been in circulation and so they become more rare and begin to gain quite a bit of
numismatic premium. In tough economic times, many experts believe that these coins
while beautiful and nostalgic, will not hold their value.
In good economic times some coins can be worth many, many times the value of the
metal however, it is the opinion of many experts that these premiums will become less
important and it will be more about the metal content as economic times change.
Commemorative Coins Be very careful here. Many of the commemorative coins that
you see advertised on TV and in magazines are a complete waste of money. Some of
these are flat out scams. Many of these coins are only plated with various grades of
gold and silver and are far from pure. Almost 99% of all the counterfeit coins are
counterfeit numismatics and commemoratives ... they are seldom bullion coins.
Plus...if you need to sell the coins...who the heck wants them and is willing to pay
anything for them? When you need to sell some coins... you want coins that are
instantly recognized as the real thing. The best way to meet this instant recognition
is to purchase coins produced by the US Mint. My advice, forget about commemorative
coins and invest your money in the "real thing".
No one likes to think about it but if things get really tough in our country as some
experts and economist are now predicting, the dollar crashes, unemployment soars,
many more banks fail and things go from bad to worse...and we are forced to use our
gold and/or silver coins to buy, barter or trade with....what do you think will be the most
important at that time: (A) The fact that you have a 1 ounce silver American Eagle that
is pegged to be worth the current spot price of silver plus a small premium.... or (B) The
fact that you have a 1 ounce Morgan silver dollar that is very rare and at one time
carried a numismatic premium of a thousand dollars above the price of the metal itself?
Do you think at a time like that....when you really need the money...the person you are
exchanging it with is really going to care about the rarity of the coin that much? Do you
think the numismatic coin will maintain its same numismatic premium in bad times... as
it maintained in good times? That's for you to answer.
Modern Issue Graded Coins Modern issue graded silver and gold
coins are a rapidly growing class of numismatic coins. They currently
represent the majority of coins being graded by the top grading services.
These coins are typically less than ten years old with many millions of
coins in circulation. The most in demand coins in this class are those
receiving the designation MS70. Modern issue graded coins are a
simple and safe way to participate in numismatics. Because of their
age and abundant quantities, they typically carry a low numismatic
premium, thus limiting your down side risk. These assets tend to
appreciate over time and are valued by collectors. Modern issue graded
coins are a great way to diversify your silver & gold holdings.
Should tough economic times be in our future, very little will have been invested in the
numismatic premium of these coins which allows the asset to be considered as viable
for those interested in investing in gold and silver... while enjoying the beauty and
nostalgia of these coins.
Trends indicate that the most in-demand modern issue graded coin is the Silver
American Eagle produced by the U.S. Mint. Stay with me and I will show you how
you can create an income while collecting these assets and even get some of
these for free.
Non-graded bullion coins These are coins that are similar to the numismatic coins
mentioned above however they are not graded or collected for their nostalgia, rarity or
age. They are coins that are collected for their metal content. They differ in that they do
not have numismatic premium. Typically dealers will charge anywhere from 5% to over
40% over cost for these coins. In just a bit I will show you how you can buy them
for 0% over cost. Stay tuned.
Confiscation Recently I was doing some research and called one of the major gold
and silver dealers that you see advertising on TV practically 24/7. The "sales
person...or rather I say pit bull" that I talked to was totally indignant towards me. He
emphatically lectured me about the fact that they only sold numismatic and siminumismatic
coins because they were the ONLY coins that could not be confiscated by
the government. I can't believe these guys are shoveling out this garbage. Don't be
suckered in by this BS.
Let's get this one straight. Way back in 1933 President Roosevelt signed an executive
order requiring US citizens to turn over their gold to the Federal Reserve in exchange
for Federal Reserve notes (dollars). It's funny that less than 22 percent of the gold in
circulation was ever turned in.
On December 31, 1974, President Gerald Ford repealed the executive order that
Roosevelt signed and Congress restored Americans' right to own gold. Finally, in 1977
Congress removed the president's authority to regulate gold transactions.
Michael Maloney states that the United States is the only nation on the planet whose
dollar would go to zero if they confiscated our metals and doesn’t believe that would
ever happen.
He said it’s truly sad that this confiscation scare continues to be the root cause
for either inaction or poor silver and gold investment decision making.
As the law stands today there are no limits on gold and silver ownership. If the
government outlaws private gold ownership again, there is unfortunately nothing you or
I will be able to do about it.
Our government makes the rules and they can change the rules at any time. They can
do anything they darn well please...regardless of what Mr. Snotty metals salesman tells
you. This confiscation concept is perpetuated by unscrupulous dealers trying to scare
you to death so they can sell you what they want to sell you...their over-priced
numismatic coins. If you fall for it, you are going to end up buying the wrong coins, at
way inflated prices.
My advice, if any dealer even mentions "non-confiscatable," you should hang up the
phone or run the other way. There is simply no such thing as something the
government cannot confiscate. Lastly, if you decide to invest in gold and silver
American Eagle coins like I suggest, they are extremely private because there is no
reporting requirements when you buy and sell these coins. More on this shortly...
Foreign Coins Why not buy some South African Krugerrands, Canadian
Maple Leafs, British Sovereigns, French Roosters, Danish Mermaids, etc. Boy,
doesn't that sound sexy? Here are the facts. Any numismatic premium
associated with foreign coins diminishes outside the country of origin. So if you
buy some of these sexy foreign coins... when it comes time to sell them... if you
want to get the best price... you may have to have to find buyers in the respective
countries. Then you are going to have to ship them overseas to the buyer....and
you have the exchange rates to deal with.
Additionally, some foreign coins have varying weights like 0.2354 troy ounce, etc.
They are seldom one full troy ounce and they are seldom stamped with their
metal content or purity... but only stamped with a denomination. Due to the above
factors, foreign coins are much more difficult to sell and are of limited value in an
emergency. Well then, "Why do so many of those metals dealers/salespeople
push them so hard?" You guessed it. They often place higher mark-ups on them
so they can make more profit on them. In my opinion... why bother? Why not
keep it simple and just do it the easy and safe way?
IRS Reporting Requirements Great news! In the United States there is NO
LIMIT to the amount of precious metals you can own, and neither the dealer nor
the customer is required to report the purchase of any precious metal, in any
quantity, at any time. There is no IRS form for reporting precious metals
transactions.
Note however, with any transaction...or two or more related transactions...that
involve cash or cash equivalents in the amount of $10,000 or greater must be
reported to the IRS by the seller. It's the dealer who must report the cash
transaction, not the precious metals transaction. Suggestion. If you want to
purchase large amounts of precious metals, use a bank wire. Banks don't report
them and precious metals dealers aren't required to either.
Reporting of Sales of Precious Metals When you decide to cash out and
sell you gold and/or silver to a dealer, some gold and silver items DO require the
dealer to file form 1099B reporting the transaction.
Good news. The dealer reporting requirements DO NOT apply to American Gold
or Silver Eagle Coins regardless of the quantity.
Note on Capital Gains: When you sell, you are obligated to report your capital gains to
the IRS. Remember to keep your receipts and records and always seek advice from
your tax advisor. Don't confuse the dealer reporting with IRS reporting.
One last suggestion: While this is my understanding based on experts who
understand the laws at the time of this writing, always consult your tax attorney for
updates and accuracy in paying your taxes and clarifying your liabilities in the sale of
coins.
Gold or Silver, Which One Should I Buy?
Personally I believe both metals offer large upside
opportunities. However, most people want to
maximize their investments and invest in the "very
best" areas possible, that offer the highest potential
rate of return.
Here's the story. For thousands of years since
gold and silver has been the primary form of money on planet earth, the
exchange rate has averaged 12 ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold. A 12 to 1
ratio. Yes, throughout history this ratio has had wild swings due to wars, politics,
inflation, deflation, manipulation, etc., ...but when you average it all out, the
historical average is a 12 to 1 ratio. As I write this report, the ratio is 48 ounces
of silver to 1 ounce of gold. Doing the math, if we were to only get back to the 12
to 1 ratio today, silver would be about $120 per ounce today!
Given enough time, values always revert back to their mean. When anything is so
disproportionally out of whack, it usually overshoots the mean before settling
back to its historical average. The longer and further out of whack it is... the
further it will usually overshoot the average.
Here are some interesting facts. Silver truly is an indispensable metal. It is the
most electrically conductive, thermally conductive, and reflective element. Silver
is used in just about every type of electronics we can imagine, batteries,
photography, medical application, mirrors, reflective coating, silverware, solar
energy cells, soldering, water purification, brazing, coins, electrical conductors,
electroplating, jewelry, and much, much more.
Gold on the other hand has two basic uses, money and jewelry. Today less than
10% of gold production is used in industrial applications. Ninety percent of all
the gold ever mined throughout history is still available for purchase somewhere.
In the early 1960s the United States had a stockpile of silver totaling over 3.5
Billion ounces. Today it's shrunk to only 20 Million ounces and the rest of the
world's governments have followed suit.
If we are running so low on silver, why don't they just mine more of it? Well, it's
not so easy. 75% of newly minded silver is found as a by-product while mining
for copper, lead, zinc, and gold. Current silver mine production is a little over
500 million ounces per year, and primary silver mine producers produce only 25%
of that.
The average time to take a new silver mine from discovery to production is 5 to 7
years... and even longer in countries and states with strict environmental laws.
Additionally the world is running out of silver underground as well. According to
the USGS, at current rates of production, the two metals we will run out of first
are gold and silver. At these rates gold reserves will be exhausted in 30 years
and silver in just 25 years.
Some experts believe we are on the verge of the greatest silver boom history has
ever seen. As the dollar continues to collapse, big investors will first turn to gold,
and that will dramatically drive gold's price up.
Then.... when the general public finally catches on to what's going on, gold will
look really expensive to them. In a frenzy, people will rush to sliver, just as the
stockpiles are practically diminished and production has practically stopped.
That is when silver prices will Explode.
Due to all of the above, it's my opinion... and the opinion of experts, my mentors and
billionaire investors that silver clearly offers the highest potential rate of return.
I have heard some really smart people suggest that silver could exceed $1,500
per ounce. Do I think it will go that high? I have no idea. I can tell you that at the
current price of silver... if silver only gets back to it's all-time historic ratio of 12 to
1, that will give us a 400% increase from the current price of silver.
I am pretty sure the stock market is not going to offer those kinds of returns and I
am not aware of anything else... at this time... that can offer those kinds of
returns. So yea... I personally think silver is the place to be right now.
What Do I Buy....Bars, Coins, 90% or 40% Coins?
When you go to most precious metals dealer sites,
you are faced with an overwhelming number of
different products to buy. If you don't know what to
buy, it can be very confusing. So what's the best
form of metal to buy? Well...it depends. It depends
on how much money you have to invest, what your
reasons are for investing, where you plan to store
the metals you buy, etc. For this report, I am going
to talk about options for the average investor.
You can buy bars of silver and gold in many different
sizes. These typically carry a lower premium than
coins due to there being less labor and production cost to produce them. Here is
a key point to keep in mind. If you ever think you may need to use your silver or
gold as a means of exchange, trade or barter.... it's much, much easier to use
coins instead of giant 100 ounce bars, for example. I mean, big bars of metal are
just not that practical to use or carry around.
Plus... when selling them, some buyers will need to have them inspected to be
sure they have not been hollowed out and filled with filler metals. Another
benefit to coins is that you can sell smaller quantities at a time... along and
along... instead of having to sell a huge bar all at one time.
Of course you can buy the bags of 90% or 40% silver US coins. For the most
part, these are pre 1965 US coins that were made up of 90% or 40% actual silver.
You can typically buy $1,000 face value bags of these coins. The pros are; they
are easy to use as barter coinage. You may remember during the gasoline
shortage when Jimmy Carter was in office, some gas station owners were gladly
taking these in trade for gas because silver prices were soaring at that time.
For the cons, these bags are large, heavy, bulky and take up a lot of space. Plus,
when you go to sell, they won't get near as big of an investment bang when silver
soars ...because they will have to be melted down and refined to separate the
silver from the coins. Many times this silver will sell at a significant discount
because of that. My suggestion is to forget about these bags and always buy
0.999 investment grade fine silver.
For me, I believe the single best, easiest, simplest and most practical way to
invest in silver...is with 1 ounce United State Silver Eagle Coins. Here are the
benefits to investing in these coins:
o The Silver Eagle coin is the legal tender silver coin for the United States
with a $1 face value, however, its intrinsic silver market value is far higher.
o The Silver Eagle is an extremely liquid silver investment backed by the
United States government.
o The Silver Eagle can be used in legal contracts based on their $1 face
value, but they are traded according to the market rate for silver.
o The Silver Eagle has a beautiful design recognized and highly tradable all
over the world.
o The Silver Eagle garners the highest bid prices for silver bullion in North
America.
o The Silver Eagle in the United States is the most recognized and trusted
silver investment vehicle on the market.
o The Silver Eagle is .999 fine silver and acceptable for your precious metal
IRA.
o The Silver Eagle has 1 oz fine silver stamped in English on the coin.
o US Silver Eagles are .999 fine silver bullion coins making them an
excellent hedge against a currency crisis and a great option for
emergency coinage
o The Silver Eagle is exempt from IRS 1099B brokerage reporting which
makes the American Silver Eagle one of the most private investments in
the world.
For me, it's a no-brainer. Just stick with the Silver Eagles... don't try and get too fancy...
and you can't go wrong.
Storage... Where Do I Keep Them
Once you purchase your gold and silver, you have a number of options when it comes
to storage.
Bank Safe Deposit Boxes Many people like to simply put their metals in their
bank safe deposit box. That's clearly a viable option, at least for some of your holdings,
but do keep a few things in mind. If your back is closed, you can't get to your metals.
The week following the attacks of 911, the banks were closed for the week... and you
would have been unable to get to your metals. Also, if your bank were to go out of
business, you would have to wait until they decided to let safe deposit box holders back
in to retrieve their contents.
Additionally, the contents of safe deposit boxes are not insured by the bank nor by FDIC
insurance. Many investors believe it's wise to diversify the storage of your metals and
spread it out among a number of different storage options.
Home Safe Many investors like to have at least some of their gold and silver where
they can always keep their hands on it.... and a home safe is a great solution for this.
You may want to have a conversation with your home insurance agent first. When it
comes to choosing the right safe, remember... you get what you pay for. If you are
going to store your valuable assets... don't choose the cheapest safe you can find. A
combination Fire and Burglary safe often makes a great choice if it is a high quality safe.
Shop around and talk with some professional safe companies. They help people just
like yourself everyday and can give you great advise.
Bury It Some people like to get PVC pipes, attached the screw-on or glue-on ends,
and bury their gold and silver in the ground. If you choose to do that, construct a solid
plan for remembering where you buried it, and be careful who you tell about it. Also
remember some people use metal detectors for just such a thing... so be smart and
careful...and bury it deep enough to avoid detection from metal detectors.
Vault Storage There are a number of companies throughout the US and around the
world that offer very secure vault storage. This is the most secure form of storage there
is. Your metals are safe, secure and insured. You can sleep well knowing they are not
going anywhere. It does pay to shop around as the monthly vault fees and terms of
service do vary widely. When you purchase your metals, you can just have them
shipped directly to your vault storage company.
What you may not have known about storage is that you can own gold and silver in a
private storage depository (PSD) that’s not part of the financial system like
Www.minesgold.com. Www.minesgold.com , is not a part of the banking system and
doesn’t fall under banking laws and in fact, they call themselves UPS with guns. It’s
basically and delivery service. This ensures your privacy.
During the week of 9/11, the government shut down the banking system, but Brink’s
was still open, doing business, and shipping and receiving gold and silver. They are
only closed one day / year; Christmas.
With Www.minesgold.com, your gold and silver will be counted under the watchful eye
of an auditor and under videotape surveillance. The counter and the auditor both have
to sign an inventory list, then your precious metals are placed into a container and
sealed, tagged with your name, account number, contents and securely stored in the
vault.
Your holdings are not carried as an asset on the PSD's books so if the PSD files
bankruptcy, closes for any reason or changes ownership, your precious metals are still
safe and are still yours. Also, when you purchase your metals, you can just have them
shipped directly to your vault storage company if you wish.
(Note: Since I promote gold and silver programs publicly on my blog, etc., I choose to
keep all of my metals in off-site vault storage and suggest you do too if you publicly
promote such programs.)
Gold and Silver For Your IRA
Many financial planners are now suggesting investors have 10% to 40% of their
investment portfolio in gold and silver. There are a handful of companies that allow you
to have physical gold and silver in your IRA account. If your current IRA custodial
account does not allow this... you can shop around, find the right company, and transfer
some or all of your funds to a new IRA account that you open with a company that does
allow physical gold and silver. One such company that offers this service is:
Where To Buy
This is the big, big question that I get asked all of the time. When buying physical gold
and silver you basically have two options... (1) coin shops and (2) online bullion dealers.
Most typically your local coin shops will need to charge high prices to cover their
overhead and relatively low volume of sales. It's rare to find good prices for bullion at
coin shops.
There are seemingly an endless number of online bullion dealers... and their prices,
products and sales approach varies greatly. Recently I was conducting research for this
report and contacted the top dozen online bullion companies. Many of these advertise
non-stop on TV, radio, direct mail, via the web and more. You would recognize their
names immediately. Caution, if you decide to do this... I suggest you have skin as thick
as a rhinoceros. You'll need it!
Many of these "sales people" make the most hardened used car
salespeople look like total wimps. I found there was no barrier to what
they would say to get you to buy... and buy right now...and buy what
they wanted you to buy. If you failed to comply with their wishes, they
would question your manhood and your intelligence. Really, no kidding.
I had one guy tell me they were not there to answer my questions...
they were just there to sell.... and I either needed to buy something 'right then', or they
did not have time for me.... they had 500 people standing in line to talk with them and if I
was not ready to purchase right then... I needed to hang up and call back when I was
ready to buy.
One of the first questions they press you for is how much money do you have 'right now'
to invest. If I gave them a low figure (testing their minimums), some of them insulted me
on the spot and treated me like a total looser. Also... some of them said flat out... if you
aren't liquid right now for at least 5K, 10K, 15K or up.... (depending on that companies'
minimum purchase amount)... I was simply not qualified to talk with them.
I can't remember the last time I was made to feel like such a third-class citizen. For the
most part, people skills and customer service was not part of the program. It was just...
go for the kill right off the bat....and if it doesn't look like an easy quick kill.... move on to
the next victim. This is not exactly the way I like to do business. I couldn't help feeling
sorry for the hundreds of non-experienced people who call them and who are easily
manipulated....and are "sold" before they even know what happened.
In addition to most of them being so "pleasant" to deal with... the fees many of them
charged were absolutely ridiculous. Seriously, some of them charge mark ups of 30% to
40% over the spot price. Do you know how big that is? Your bullion has to
appreciate 30% to 40% before you can even break even. I am surprised some of
these guys are not wearing a mask and a gun to conduct business.
TV, Radio and Magazine Advertising I am sure you have seen and heard the
bullion dealers who seem to advertize non-stop on TV, radio, in magazines, etc. I am
sure you also instinctively know this.... but just stop for a moment and imagine what the
advertising bill must be for these companies. Next, ask yourself what they must have to
pay their "black-belt sales people"...you know they don't work cheap.
Want to guess where all the money comes from to cover this kind of overhead? You got
it. They have to charge a lot more for their products to cover this tremendous
overhead. In actuality, their customers are paying for all of the advertising. My
suggestion.... Never buy from companies like this unless you want to pay a lot more for
your gold & silver.
Beware Of The Fees & Charges I am not making this stuff up. Some of these
bullion dealers charge the following types of fees....and if you don't ask and pull-it-outof-
them.... most of them don't even bring these fees up until you are in the middle of
finalizing your purchase. Get a load of some of these types of fees: (a) commission
fees, (b) broker fees, (c) amount over spot costs, (d) payment processing fee, (e)
shipping fee, (f) handling fee, (g) insurance fee, and more. These are simply additional
profit centers for the companies. Some of them will offer really low prices per-coin up
front...to get you interested....and then make their profits from you via these "back-end"
profit centers. Don't take these fees for granted, they can really add up and cost your
dearly. You have to ask the right questions up front... if you want to shop wisely.
(When I was doing my research and asking some of these questions about their fees ...
some of the salespeople became upset that I would even ask about these fees. They
tried to make me feel like a total cheapskate for even asking the question. Their comeback
was; "If gold & silver go up like we think it will...these fees will be tiny and
meaningless compared to your gains....and if you don't think it's going up that much,
you should hang up and quit wasting my time". What a ridiculous way to look at it and
handle my objection to their high fees. My reaction... they can keep their metals and
their high fees. I am a smart shopper and I know I can do much better than that!)
Keep in mind, how you must pay for your metals also varies. Some require you to
FedEx your payment to them... an extra cost of time and money for you to deal with.
Some even charge you an additional fee, (a payment processing fee), just for the
privilege of paying by credit card. Wow. It's shocking to see how some of these
companies treat their customers.
Here's The BIG, BIG BIG Thing...
If you are buying American Eagle silver or gold coins, remember this.... an American
Eagle... is an American Eagle. It makes absolutely no difference where you buy it
from... it's the EXACT same coin. It's a commodity. They all come from the United
States Mint. Just because you may pay 30% more for your coins when buying from a
particular dealer, doesn't make them any more valuable than if bought them at
wholesale. When buying, you simply take the QUALITY issue off the table. It's a nonissue.
It pretty much goes without saying that you want to deal with a trustworthy and
reputable dealer. You need to do your homework and be sure that the dealer you
choose to work with is solid, stable, honest, has a good track record and are the type of
people you want to do business with. As I always say, you can't make a good deal with
bad people.
PRICE, PRICE, PRICE
I my opinion... other than the above mentioned safeguards... PRICE is the most
important thing when it comes to buying silver and gold. After all. You are investing in
gold and silver to make a profit...right? So you might as well make the most profit as
you possibly can...right? And...the lower price you buy your coins for... the more profit
you will make.... right? Pretty simple...eah?
GREAT QUESTION: What if you could find a gold and silver bullion dealer who did not
need to make a profit on the sales of their gold and silver? What if you could find a
bullion dealer who would sell you all of the gold and silver you wanted.... At Cost... At
Wholesale.... At Preferred Dealer Prices? What if you could buy all of your gold and
silver at the exact same price as hundreds of bullion dealers buy their inventory for....
and you wouldn't even have to get your bullion dealers license to do it?
Does all of this sound too good to be true? Of course it does. After all... how could a
company stay in business if they don't make ANY profit of the sale of the gold and silver
they sell?
ANSWER.... A company could do it if they were a private membership, wholesale
buyers club. If they were a company who made their profits from the sale of
memberships... and not from the sale of the actual gold and silver itself.
You may be asking yourself right now... Is there a company like this?
Well ladies and gentlemen, that is exactly what I discovered after years of searching...
and after years of paying far, far too much for my precious metals. It's a company called
Preservation Of Wealth (POW for short.) The name says what it does, it helps you
Preserve Your Wealth.
Preservation Of Wealth was started in July of 2009 in Frisco, TX (just outside of Dallas).
The business model they chose to use is somewhat similar to that of very well known
wholesale buyers clubs like Sam's Wholesale Club....(part of Wal-Mart) and Costco.
I'm sure you have heard of them and you are likely already be a member. With Sam's
Club and Costco, you pay an annual membership fee and then you get to buy all of the
merchandise you want, at greatly reduced prices, all year long. Smart!
At Preservation Of Wealth, you pay a Life Time Benefits fee, you get to buy all of the
gold and silver you want... at dealer cost.... at wholesale. The savings are amazing!
The company absolutely, positively makes nothing, zero, zip, nada on the sale of the
actual gold and silver you buy. All of their profits come from the benefits packages and
an "optional" auto-ship program that is available to members. That's it. In fact,
Preservation Of Wealth is such a great value that hundreds of gold & silver DEALERS
join because they can buy their inventory less expensively here... than anywhere else!
Did you catch that? Let me repeat... The prices are so good at Preservation Of
Wealth that hundreds of Gold & Silver Dealers have joined because they can get
Better Prices than they were paying before they found POW! These dealers buy
from POW... mark up the gold & silver they buy... and then sell it to their customers at
the marked up prices. That is how they make a living!
Now... YOU have the opportunity to buy... at the Exact Same Prices these Dealers are
buying at. That's a big deal! As far as we know... POW is the ONLY Gold & Silver
Buyers Program of this type in the world.
So I bet you're thinking it must cost a lot for the life time benefits package for such a
unique private club. I think you're going to be shocked at just how low it is. It only cost
$249 to join Preservation Of Wealth. That is a one-time, life time benefits fee. Plus
you get a totally free POW web site, a back office, marketing info and more.... all totally
free.
You are probably thinking; "Okay...that sounds pretty darn good....but how long will it
take me in savings to make my initial investment back?" Good question. It depends on
how much silver & gold you buy. To form a comparison, one of our team leaders made a
purchase from a very respected bullion dealer whom I personally know many 'guru
investors', who are house-hold names, purchase from. (Plus...this dealer is NOT one
who advertises on TV and Radio ....thus, they don't have to charge a lot more to cover
their ridiculous advertising cost.)
The minimum quantity of Silver Eagles he could buy from this particular dealer was one
tube (20 one oz. Silver Eagles come per tube.) He made back-to-back purchases of 20
Silver Eagles... one from this big-time dealer and one from POW, on the same
afternoon, within minutes of each other... so he could get the best comparison pricewise.
Below is a chart showing the differences in cost between this big-time dealer and
POW.
As you can see.... it cost him 21% MORE to buy the EXACT SAME COINS from the
big-time dealer... than it did from POW. All total he paid $132.90 MORE for the
privilege of buying from the big-time dealer. Thus... he could have purchased 4 more
Silver Eagle coins from POW with the money he would have saved from the other
dealer. And that savings was with only buying 20 coins. Just think how much you
can save if you bought a lot of coins?
So, with an average savings of $6.64 Per Coin.... You only have to purchase 38
Silver American Eagles to re-coop your initial net POW. Plus... I can absolutely
assure you that there are many, many dealers out that who charge much more than my
test case. So if you only plan on buying a few coins, POW may not be for you.
However, if you plan on buying 38 or more Silver Eagles, it's an absolute nobrainer!
Funny thing.... when he received the two shipments, (and it took him about 2 weeks
longer to receive the shipment from the big name dealer... than it did from POW)... he
put both of the tubes on his desk.... took the coins out.... and compared them. They
were of course exactly alike. The only difference was that one cost him 21%
MORE... or $6.64 Per Coin MORE than the other ones. I'm sure he would have much
rather received 4 more coins... but it was all part of his research.
No Minimum Or Maximum Purchases
With Preservation Of Wealth there are NO
MINIMUM PURCHASES. If you want to simply
buy 1 Silver Eagle coin.... fine.... no problem. You
pay the exact same "per coin price" that you would if you were to buy a million of
them.... because there are no mark-ups what-so-ever.
No Purchase LIMIT With POW you can absolutely buy as much silver and gold as you
want. There is NO Maximum Limit on how much you can buy. You are only limited by
the amount of money you have to invest :)
Some of the members of POW have net worth's of 7 and 8 figures. (They can sniff out
a bargain when they see it!) It's not uncommon for members buy hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of metals at a time. Some members even make 7 figure
purchases.
With POW, you can make no purchases... or you can make as many as you want... it's
all up to you.
No Way To Compete Since Preservation Of Wealth makes No Profits on the sales of
its bullion.... there is no way for any other "traditional" bullion dealers to compete....
unless they want to pay you to buy their metals. They have to mark-up their coins to
make a profit and stay in business.
It Pays To Share I am not going to spend much time discussing this here.... but
POW also has a Marketing Program that pays you to share this with others. Here's the
idea. Most people who invest in gold and silver... know other people who also invest in
gold and silver. And.... most people who like to save money and buy At Cost.... also
know others who like to buy at cost and save money.
When you share POW with others... you earn $100 for
every person you refer who joins under you. Plus there is
a bianary that your people get placed into that pays you to
Infinity.
Thinking small....if you just refer 2 friends to this
program... your membership becomes almost Free.
Thinking Big.... there is no limit to the amount of money you could make by catching
this amazing wave that is forming in gold and silver investing.... and sharing this with the
huge number of people who are becoming silver and gold investors right now. (There
are absolutely No Requirements to share or market this program at all. If you only want
to use POW to buy your bullion at cost... no problem, that's perfectly fine. You never
have to tell another soul about it. It's just an option.)
Personally I love buying at wholesale and getting the very most that I can for my money.
I also like sharing great values with my friends & family and business associates. If you

Buy sharing this incredible opportunity with others, you can build a very large and strong
team of POW members throughout the United States. As a result, you can create a
healthy additional stream of income... which will give you even more money to invest

The Time Is NOW These are truly unprecedented times. Some very big players are
taking enormous positions in gold and silver right now as you read this. Now more than
any other time in human history, you have the potential to increase your net worth
exponentially during this economic upheaval... all without exposing yourself to great
risk.
Michael Maloney, one of Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad's Advisors and author of "Guide
to Investing in Gold & Silver" says, "This is not just a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity. It is a once-in-human existence opportunity, and it will never come
again. The coming wealth transfer will be the likes of which the world has never
seen."
David Wiedemer, PHD and economist says, "Gold is a rising bubble on its way to
becoming one of the biggest asset bubbles of all time." It seems to me that we are
in the early stages of a massive, spring-loaded explosion in gold and silver prices... and
I can't think of a better position to be in other than being able to offer the "average
person" the ability to buy gold & silver at true wholesale prices.
I encourage you to do your own homework & research and decide what is best for you
and your family. I am happy to have made this information available to you and hope
that you learned some important information that will save you from making some
serious mistakes with your investments, and hopefully save you a lot of money by now
knowing how to buy wisely.
Wishing you the very best life has to offer and great investing success.
