In this episode of Hard Money Matters on AM 930, host Kyle Warren and John Maben of Pegasus Coin and Jewelry explore the intersection of politics, auctions, and liquidity in the coin and precious metals market. Maben notes that political laws impact the industry, while observing a predominance of conservative customers in his Florida store, though all political affiliations invest in hard assets. He discusses fluctuating gold-silver ratios, the real-time spot price updates (changing every 10 seconds), and the existence of futures markets for hedging by large dealers. Maben advises diversification for large investments, recommends coin clubs for enthusiasts, and warns against overvaluing auction prices or new proof coins from small nations, which often lose value despite marketing hype. He highlights gold, silver, and platinum as highly liquid, contrasting them with less traded metals like rhodium, emphasizing the importance of buyer awareness in this unregulated field.
