<<What would it do to the open market price of coins if the producers were to buy them - also mailing costs, insurance. etc. Also most shares are held and recorded electronically - so this idea is probably impractical from a logistics viewpoint. Think of actually organising it. >>

Might be a real problem for shares held in an IRA & a non PM mutual fund, Should I even mention Spyders?

enigma >>so this idea is probably impractical<< spoken like a true "Can't Do" kinda guy. I didn't want to get into the nuts 'n bolts of the idea, but I can think of several ways to go about it. It's all in the marketing. Stock markets are ONLY marketing.

Rather than thinking about how it can't be done, think of the marketing allure, even if there's a maximum of one coin. Look what they could do with Beanie Babies for crying out loud.
