In this episode of Hard Money Matters, host Kyle Warren and guest John Mabin, owner of Pegasus Coin and Jewelry in Bradenton, guide listeners through practical decisions in precious metals investing and coin collecting. They break down how to choose silver products (e.g., 1-oz rounds vs. 100-oz bars) based on premiums, liquidity, and budget; stress secure, personal storage over bank boxes or third-party depositories; and explain subtle premium differences in global 1-oz gold bullion coins (U.S. Eagles top the list, Krugerrands now mid-tier). The duo debunks myths around modern dollar coins (presidential, Sacagawea—face value only), celebrates the historical allure of Carson City Morgan dollars, and shares a real-life find: a 1955 doubled-die penny turned into $700 for its owner. A blend of actionable advice, market insights, and collector enthusiasm.
