It no longer does. As of a moment ago, palladium was at $1003, platinum was at $986. Less than a 2% difference.
Better yet, if you want to compare supply, look at platinum. 170 tons per year vs. 3000+ tons per year for gold, but platinum's price is one third...
I'm reminded of a gold eagle I bought in a bezel that was, to my eye, really ugly. But it was clearly hallmarked 14k. I found a dealer at a show...
That's probably most likely, but it won't hurt to check. Don't forget to start with a magnet test, too!
There are, of course, always opposing voices: https://www.kitco.com/opinion/2025-03-31/gold-final-stages-its-decade-long-rally Maybe Kitco's...
Wonder if the bezel and/or chain might be 14k?

Trashed.
I'd be equally unsurprised by $3600 or $2600 sometime in the next year.
Yeah, and I worry that we'll lose a lot of desirable coins to melting pots, as we likely did when silver spiked around 1980 (and in the spikes since).
I can't think of any other large retailer that sells gold that close to spot, never mind locking the price at the time of shipment (so that you...
My take: an investment is something that provides dependable growth or income, whether over the short or long term. ("I'm going to lock up this...
To paraphrase a great economist, the eBay marketplace can remain irrational longer than I can remain patient.
As long as eBay gets their cut, it's really hard to convince them that there's any such thing as a "bad seller".
If I make it to the 300th, I'm darn well going to hang on until the total solar eclipse that comes RIGHT OVER MY HOUSE on May 11, 2078. Of...
I'm so happy that they've expanded the number of characters allowed for feedback. But apparently not happy enough to resume shopping there. :(
Of course, they would have been better off still if they'd bought bullion at a 3-4% premium.
I hope you're right, but I don't expect cash to hold on long enough for a denomination shift to happen.
I think the historic range is just that -- history. I can't say that the gold-silver ratio won't ever return to that level, but I don't see any...
Correct. That's why I broke out the prices separately for the gold commemoratives (same composition and weight as 1837-1933 half eagles, 0.242 ozt...
Separate names with a comma.
