At least I'm putting my money where my mouth is. | Amen Brother! My thoughts exactly.

Just wondering why you are thinking the spouse coins will be worth $1000 each?
Because gold will be over $2000 per ounce??? If so, the spouse coins will likely cost $1300 a piece so I won't be happy they are only worth $1000.
But if it is because the numismatic value of the coins has increased to $1000 each, then sure, I'd probably be ok with that | |

These low mintages can't be bad in the long run.

In the long run, worst case is that they'll be worth gold melt value  | |

Anybody notice that the London fix remained above $950 today and the mint (as of 5:28pm EST) has not raised their prices yet!!! This may be the last chance to buy the FS coins or UHR coins at their current prices for a while. Prices may be changed over night.

Yes! I noticed the prices and checked the UHR on the Mint site midday. And NO!!!! I'm not ready to buy a UHR yet... despite my desire for one all year... oh this dilemma is killing me. I know it won't drop down to the next level but I was hoping they'd stay at least at the current level.

I have enough money to purchase one FS coin which I will do here in 5 minutes. I feel confident that the price of gold will drop back down again, but I also believe that it will not drop below $900 like everyone is hoping and thinking.
