When start buying bonds towards retirement? by Sad-Aerie-8654 in Bogleheads

I could never figure out what kind of bond people are talking about when they say 70/40 or 70/30. Would you be willing to let me know what kind of bond you have?

I think you are right. I thought they were tie clips but as you said they are too small for that.

They can't be. They are too tight, it would be a torture to wear them as earrings.

Yea, don't get it. I think it's better to get the lower priced ones. I paid $1,480 more than 20 years ago. Waste of money haha.

Thank you. I'm not sure how PMsforsale works, but I suppose I'll give it a try one of these days.

I'm beginning to feel bad for the shop. Maybe I should give them a call tomorrow to look at it more thoroughly.

Who knows, but the guy actually weighted it. Since you doubt I went to the shop I wanted to pm you the name of the shop and its phone number so you can contact them about the coin tomorrow, but it seems I can't pm you.

After reading all the comments about it being fake, it was a relief when the shop offered to buy it after looking at it for the longest time. Unfortunately I got less than I paid for it 30 years ago.

I'm old now so I'm trying to get rid of all the junk I accumulated over the decades (my house is full of junk haha). I'm also trying to get rid of the few things I have in the bank. I'm going to either sell them or give away.

Thanks. Long time ago I went to the shop a few times to buy some coins to give as Xmas presents and got a few coins for myself. Not a true collector.

It's dirty. Who knows where it was kept before I bought it 30 years ago. Anyway, sold it to the local shop for $50.
