Common date saints good alternatives to bullion

Before 1971 it was illegal to own GOLD
bullion when then president took us off the GOLD standard the exception was
numismatic GOLD so if that ever did happen again would it be better to buy
common date saints with still close to an once of GOLD with no premiums
and no risk of possible furure grabs
by the government.

No premiums..?….That will be one ugly coin.

 

To argue that a 1924-1928 Philadelphia double eagle has much numismatic value above and beyond the bullion content is a bit of a stretch, IMHO. Lovely coins, to be sure, but still.

 

I would take a MS 1924-28 P Double Eagle over an AGE all day, every day…and I would pay more for it.

 

I don’t fear the guvmint coming for our gold
Crypto is the store of wealth today
Unless we deal with that cancer, we’re doomed

 

For example a common date saint such as a 1908 w/motto at my LCS sells for $ 2,175
just went over there today he was out of bullion and since the price is very close to
bullion W/ premium so in my opinion a pretty good deal

 

That’s what they said about government coming after your guns..LOL

 

Did they come after your guns?!!!

 

Close, but no cigar...
https://www.americanbullion.com/is-...n history,criminalized the possession of gold.

 

So, what are the good buys right now for $20 Saints? I'd like to pick up one or two.

 

I would have to ask what your goals are ?
a good price for a common date would be
right around $2,200 still near spot and
below the premiums you would pay for spot.

 

Why not include common date Liberty's?
Aren't they priced lower than Saints?

 

“below the premiums you would pay for spot.”

What the hell does that even mean…lol

 

Just Wondering if you are talking about TPG coins or raw and what grade level?

 

Let me know what TPG coins you have located at that price, regardless of condition, and we'll trade Fiat for coins. LOL

 

Thing is with most pre-33 gold the difference in cost between the grades is almost inconsequential, professionally graded or not. With slabbed gold you are primarily getting insurance that your pre-33 gold is not a counterfeit piece. Long and short is you won’t see a lot of price difference in slabbed/raw pre33 gold.

 

If they were part of a collection, that was the exemption that Eliasberg and others used to both collect and keep gold.

 

Found this example today…

 

Here’s a listing I found on eBay ( liberty coin gallery ) they do have some of the best prices in town.

This is a random date in MS/62 $2,138.67
when you consider a 1 OZ buffalo is currently $2,041 plus another $120 in premium that adds up to $2,161
so you could probably get an XF for under
2K so what a bargain.
