for a special occasion

In my mind there's never a wrong time to buy gold or silver coins. They make great gifts especially when you want to mark a special occasion, like a birth of a child or a landmark birthday or graduation. It's a lovely memento of sorts, to remind the recipient of the occasion so remember, if you get a silver american eagle as a gift, it's not just to be forgotten and put away. It's a keepsake to remind you of when you got it and who gave it to you. Sometimes, one seems to go overboard with gifts and all that, but it's really important to be true to who you are and also to keep it simple.
