Would you ever own “paper” (non-physical) gold? Why or why not?

Here are some answers sent in from our E-Newsletter readers.

No.

Ron Brown
Oroville, Calif.

I would never buy paper (non-physical) gold. I would be afraid more paper than gold could be sold. I want to be able to hold the product in my hand.

Johnny Widener
Lincolnton, N.C.

No, I would not have paper gold. I’m more hands-on. I would want physical gold only such as a coin, bar, etc.

Any collapse, be it housing or monetary, could happen swiftly. Look at our $22 trillion national debt. What if lenders lost confidence in the dollar and asked for payment in full? Would you want to cash in your paper gold for the real stuff while everybody is trying to redeem theirs? I think not.

Horst Seeley
Manchester, N.H.

No paper gold. If/when the zombie apocalypse or other global disaster hits, nobody will take the paper gold and you won’t be able to get to your physical gold. Hold your gold.

War in the Pacific ‘W’ Mintmark I was in the self-checkout at Walmart four weeks ago here in Mt. Vernon, Ill., and received a little bit of loose change for my purchase. I didn’t check it until I got home and was very surprised to find a War in the Pacific with a “W” mintmark. I’m just wondering if it’s something that I should send in to one of the grading companies. In other words, would it be worth more later on by doing so? I understand that it’ll cost at least $30.00 to do so and also heard that “in the raw” is only worth maybe $25. I hope to hear a reply. Name and address withheld In Response to Richard Giedroyc’s Commentary I politely disagree with erudite and longtime numismatic colleague, Richard Giedroyc, whose Numismatic News story, “Get Rich” Promotion Wrong Angle for Healthy Market Growth,” was critical of a recent CNBC story entitled, “People have been making up to $100,000 off ‘coin hunting.’” He doesn’t think the hobby will benefit with an a...
