MS66 Saints did almost nothing as gold soared from $2,200 to $3,200. Every advance in gold prices saw an equal offsetting decline in the premium....
Good questions. To the extent that Peru is a major producer of gold, it makes sense they would strike gold coins just like South Africa. I find...
Well, some things never change with the government. Even in 1931 it appears that $78,000 FV in gold was considered "negligible" -- I think...
Here's another super low mintage Peruvian gold coin, mintage of 300. The following year in 1969 only 403 struck. Yet have a look at recent...
Fabulous information gathering there...,,. Any chance of posting the entire article? The lead sentence implies comment on an earlier portion of...
First world gold coin I ever won at a live auction was a 1933/34 Vatican 100 Lire from Richard Ponterio at the Chicago International Coin Fair...
No question it is all demand driven. But if hesitancy to sell at spot affects the willingness of future owners to offer the coins at melt, the...
Much rare gold numismatic material is changing hands at spot, and many great coins are getting melted down. Saints have never been rare, even the...
The biggest group of world coin collectors is actually in the United States. Analysis I read back in the spring was that owners of world coins in...
$600 in 2013. Gold started 2013 above $1,600 and ended near $1,200. Got $870 for it with gold at $3,538. Pretty horrible return for 12 years of...
Correction. I got $29 over melt for it. Was part of a group of (19) US gold coins. There was a pretty nice 1877-S Type-2 Double Eagle in AU58...
Recently sold a 1916-S Indian $5 in PCGS AU58 and received only melt for it.
Well, that's true with even more humble purchases like a new car; have to convert other non-depreciating investments into depreciating dollars to...
Agree with your assessment of the dollar and US bonds being the default flight to safety destination for many (most) investors. But why would...
Turns-out for a lot of gold coin collectors, the adage "buy the best you can afford" has turned into horrible advice. Buying $10 Indians in AU53...
There's an enormous resistance at $50 due to all the silver stackers from 2011 who until recently were still underwater. Most of these people are...
I sure hope you're right. Yet, at the same time taking some chips off the table feels like the prudent thing to be doing right now. Could have...
I'm at a 12 to 1 ratio of silver to gold, but with most of the gold having substantial numismatic premiums; --not MS66 Saints either, but very...
I would expect a 25% pullback in gold at some point. Might not occur until after it has hit $5,500 an ounce leaving it at $4,125 after the big hit.
