Garage Sale vs. Pawn Shop

Many people often go through their household inventory, clean and reorganize. Fall is not only a new season, but an opportunity to clean house and streamline life in general.

Collecting Coins

Coin collecting is a hobby enjoyed by many people, young and old alike. Some focus on old coins, some on the newly minted. Others enjoy the variety of amassing coins from around the world, or a particular country of interest. Collectors range from the casual aficionado to the hardcore experts who will pay top dollar for what they seek. It can be a hobby that is easy on the checkbook or one that takes a fair level of financial investment. One thing is certain, if coins appeal to you, there is something to fit any and every budget or level of interest.

Great Finds at the Pawn Shop

Pawn Shops are treasure troves for gold, silver, coins and collectibles. If you’re searching the Twin Cities area for awesome items, you are in luck. While pawn shops are often home to usual items such as electronics, firearms, tools, they’re also awesome locations for rarities, oddities, and wonders. These items have either high monetary or novelty value.

Precious Metals in 2022

Precious metals can be found in a great many forms. Gold, silver and platinum are used extensively in jewelry and also in coins from all over the world, past and present. These metals are also efficient conductors of electricity and are used in many electronic applications ranging from computers to medical equipment. Even artwork and ornamentation is no stranger to precious metals. The scarcity of these metals makes them valuable, and this value has always increased over time relative to other commodities. 

Scrap Jewelry

If you’ve ever accidentally left your gold bracelet in a pocket and unknowingly sent it through the washing machine, you are not alone. After such an unfortunate series of events, the bracelet may be clean, but had definitely seen better days.  It has been in your dresser drawer since then – perhaps waiting for the day when you might attempt to have it repaired.  Although this might fit the definition of ‘scrap’ jewelry, the fact that it is made of gold makes it valuable.  So what is the opportunity cost?  You could sell us the bracelet for cash, or let it continue to gather dust while anticipating a potential future restoration for which you will have to spend money.

Coin Collecting for Fun or Investment

Coin collecting is both a fun hobby and one that can be quite lucrative if you know what you’re doing. For some collectors, this is a very serious pursuit, while for others it may just be an enjoyable pastime. It often starts with children collecting various interesting or unusual coins, and may persist into adulthood with impressive and equally valuable portfolios. Whatever the case, coin collections can be worth a fair amount of money. If you are interested in pawning or selling your coins, or if you are looking for rare coins to add to your collection, Metro Pawn & Gun is the perfect place to visit.

A Good Time for Precious Metal Investment

It appears as though our hopes of arriving at a time we could refer to as “post-pandemic” were an illusion. Optimism that this potential period would resemble the pre-pandemic world in some capacity now seems rather unlikely. New ‘variants’ seem to be popping up with nearly predictable regularity, vaccination controversy has exploded onto the scene, and compliance with heretofore personal choices is quickly becoming decreed without regard for consent. Commodity shortages, increasing fuel prices, border chaos, economic instability, international crisis, and escalating social discontent are creating a volatile cocktail.

Coin Collecting for Fun and Investment

Collecting of coins or other forms of minted legal tender has been a popular hobby for probably as long as coins have been around. Of particular interest to most collectors are coins that have been circulated for only a brief time thus making them more scarce, coins with mint errors or other irregularities, exceptionally beautiful coins, or coins with certain historical significance.

Stocks vs Precious Metals

The stock market – it makes people millionaires or homeless and everything in between. We’ve all heard the “high risk, high reward” phrase. Conversely, there is also the “low risk, low reward” school of thought. Some people know how to play the investment game very well, while others just spin the wheel and hope for the best. Wherever one may be on this sliding scale, the odds of success or failure are tied to countless variables, many of which exist outside the control of the individuals playing the game.
