Physical ownership of gold, silver & coins
Index for owning bullion and coins in your hand — buy, hold, store, sell, and estates. Not a price list.
Physical ownership means the metal is in your hand, a box, or a shop bag — not a number in an app. This page is the index for that path: buy, hold, store, sell, and estates.
Start with what physical ownership really covers and collectible vs bullion. We lean bullion for an investment sleeve because grades are opinions. Coins you care about are a different sleeve.
