Spokane Gold IRA Investor: Thoughts on Recession-Proofing with Gold Coins

Been seeing a lot of chatter lately about a looming recession, and it’s got me thinking hard about portfolio resilience. My family’s always been pretty conservative with investments, mostly timberland and some real estate, but things feel a bit different these days. I inherited a pretty decent chunk a few years back, sitting between $300-400k in my Gold IRA now, mainly in American Gold Eagles and Canadian Gold Maples. My grandad swore by physical gold as the ultimate hedge, especially when the financial winds started blowing cold.

The core of my strategy, passed down through generations, is really about preserving capital and then letting it grow safely. With the current economic uncertainty, inflation worries, and even some geopolitical weirdness, I'm feeling pretty good about having such a significant portion in gold coins. It’s comforting to know that even if the market completely craters, I’ve got tangible assets that historically hold value. It’s not about getting rich quick, it's about not getting poor fast, you know?

Thinking about adding more to my Gold IRA this year, probably another $50k or so, depending on how things shake out with some other investments. I'm torn between more Eagles (can't go wrong with them) or maybe diversifying into some South African Krugerrands just to spread it out a bit more. Spokane’s a pretty insulated market in some ways, but the national and global stuff definitely trickles down. What are you all doing to recession-proof your precious metal holdings? Any specific coins or strategies you're favoring right now?
