pvn,

Can you or some other Liberty dollar type currency supporter tell me why one would risk holding such certificates, that seem to be at risk from the US gov't, instead of just holding gold? While obviously paper or e-currency *if it is safe* (or more worthy than fiat currency), is more convenient, surely one can keep the bulk of such holdings in safe deposit boxes.

I wouldn't hold these particular certificates, mostly because various government agencies have been hounding them for a while. Should have seen this coming.

That said, I do own some gold, and a portion of it is basically "virtual" in shares of GLD (where it's impossible to actually get the physical gold). This is mostly because it's a total pain in the ass to buy gold inside of an IRA.
