    That’s a nice looking piece. Isn’t that price, $26.50, under spot? I can’t think clearly at this hour.

    Um, I don't think so. 1000 X 26.50 = 26,500. So 1000th of 4,470 (aprox spot price) is 4.47 (.001 X 4,470). Paid a bit too much, I think. I was a philosophy major, so any math majors like to chime in?​

    Thanks, last night at the time I posted I thought it was 1/100th. Now I can see it was 1/1000. :)

    I'd love to see someone submit one of these to a TPG.

    If I'm doing my calculations right, a 12mm disc of .999 gold (density 19.32g/cc) weighing 1/1000 ozt (31.1mg) would have a thickness of... 14 microns. About half of a thousandth of an inch. That's still many times thicker than gold leaf, but a bit thinner than standard aluminum foil. Don't try flipping it. Especially not if there's a breeze.

    Exactly right, hopefully nobody is trying to put together a thousand of these, now that's a funny thought! lol.gif

    Thin as a waffer-thin mint, perhaps!

    Someone Without their glasses made the same mistake :p but threw some money at it.

    They should have bought a Goldback.
    I hear California is next up... should be some nice artwork in that series

    I'm glad you did the math. My first thought was - 12mm diameter and 1/1000th oz? A 1 oz double eagle is 34mm, something's fishy in Denmark. (Does anyone say that anymore?)

    When they first broadcast Brazil on TV, they edited it so that it had a happy ending.
