And they're bags of silver coins that have some percentage of silver in it, either 40 or 90% of the coin is silver, depending on the age of the coin.

And I got some of these coins as a child and as a gift and learned a little bit about it that this quarter that I was receiving, even though it's a quarter on the face, it shows 25 cents, it's actually worth, at the time, it was worth 50 cents, let's say. Those quarters today, because of the price of silver, could be worth $5 or $6.

They have a face value on the money, but because there's silver in it, it's worth a lot more. And I learned that as a child. When I decided to go into precious metals later in my life, a lot of it had to do with what happened to me in commercial real estate and that I realized that my clients in commercial real estate were business owners.

Most of them were immigrants that had come to the United States with most, I can't even tell you how many came to the United States with zero money in their pocket and had built wealth. And all of them would build the wealth and buy assets. And the asset that they would buy would be real estate.

And what I realized is as much as that had helped them build more wealth, I also realized that there were other assets that could do something very similar.

And I think that the thing that I've learned over the last 16 years being in the precious metals industry is that gold and silver and platinum and palladium have been seriously overlooked by mass media because it's the way that we sell gold and silver, it's not a derivative, it's not a stock, it's not a fund, it's not an ETF. And really, the big money in advertising and dollars all over the US.

I mean, if you go to Fox News or any of those channels, they're all pushing mutual funds or some kind of fund or stock because there's so much money, there's so much wealth created in derivatives of things where you don't own it all or you put it in a big pile. And the thing that I loved about precious metals when I started in it 16 years ago was that this is actually one of the few assets

that you can own by yourself. And it was against the grain, this idea that you can own the physical gold and silver by yourself, that we would help you get it, acquire it, but it's yours. And there's no middleman. That was very appealing to me.

What I learned from these very wealthy business owners when I was in commercial real estate is really the most important thing as you build wealth is to buy assets. And I felt that gold and silver and platinum and palladium was an overlooked asset that people weren't really talking about it. It fascinated me as to why.

And a lot of it has to do with people are used to the stock market or they're used to certain things that they've done. But I think that alternative investments have really made a push. You've seen cryptocurrencies obviously go wild and that's a big part of the market now. But gold and silver and platinum and palladium in a way are so simple and yet feel so foreign to people.
