[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 8318178, member: 27832"]I'm lucky. I picked a wife whose attitudes toward money match mine -- closely enough that, when one of us starts to go off the rails due to a short-term setback or windfall, the other is there to make sure things stay on course. Right there with you -- except that it's been a lot longer than a few weeks since I last found any. But I also [I]sell[/I] when I can [I]get[/I] a good premium over melt, or at least an offer ahead of the usual; I unloaded a white elephant (an Eagle in a particularly ugly 14k mount) a few weeks ago, a bit under melt, but well ahead of previous offers. A lot of the gold weight was in the mount, and this was the first buyer who didn't want to completely discount the mount, or make a jeweler-level well-below-melt offer for the mount [I]and[/I] the coin. It worked out to a fair price for an ex-jewelry coin, plus a fair price for a lump of 14k.[/QUOTE]
