Co-founder, Gold and Silver Saver
I've been stacking gold and silver since 2018. My first coin was a 1 oz Silver Mexican Libertad and that one purchase got me reading about sound money, monetary history and what's actually happening to the dollar. I co-founded GoldandSilverSaver.com because comparing prices across a dozen dealer sites was harder than it should be. The site is the tool I wished existed when I bought that Libertad. The guides are everything I've figured out since, written so you don't have to figure it out the hard way.
