What "Good Enough" Looks Like in Coin Buying

We are trained to hunt for the "Best." Best phone. Best car. Best vacation. But in commodities (raw materials like silver), "Best" is a mirage.

The Myth of the Perfect Deal

A "Perfect Deal" would be:

• Buying exactly at the bottom tick of the market.
• Paying zero premium.
• Getting free shipping on a small order.
• Tax-free.

This deal does not exist. If you wait for it, you will wait forever.

The Anatomy of a "Good Enough" Deal

Here is what success actually looks like:

1. Product: Recognized Silver (Eagle, Maple, Buffalo, 90%).
2. Price: Market Rate (Spot + Standard Premium).
3. Timing: Today (or whenever you have the money).
4. Result: You own the metal.

That's it. If you bought a 1 oz round today for $30, and next week it sells for $29, did you fail? No. You successfully converted $30 of depreciating paper into 1 oz of eternal metal. You won the moment you took possession.

"Good Enough" is Great

The person who makes 10 "Good Enough" purchases a year ends up with a massive stack. The person who waits for the "Perfect" deal ends up with... paper money that buys less every year.

Lower your bar for "the deal." Raise your bar for "consistency."
