<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1379991, member: 13650&quot;]Ok, are we comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges?&nbsp;&nbsp; If that index includes gold coins that were $10k+, then your statement holds true and they may have had huge fluctuations driving the line down..&nbsp;&nbsp; In that same time period, not rare MS gold coins that were $700 are $1400 now.&nbsp; Then I&#039;m right.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Do UHRs and MS-66 St. Gauden&#039;s fall under the rare category?&nbsp; I haven&#039;t looked them up.&nbsp;&nbsp; He&#039;s not looking to buy a $10k+ gold coin with huge numismatic value &quot;available&quot; to fluctuate.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; My thoughts were that if he can purchase one or the other for around $3k, that in 10 years from now that may not be far from what the melt values would be.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s guaranteed inflation coming.&nbsp;&nbsp; The govt will not allow a deflationary collapse.&nbsp; The printing presses will trump deflation. They will shovel money out of helicopters before they let it collapse.&nbsp; They will type more digits into their computers.&nbsp; Which will also devalue their own debts.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m just saying the writing is on the wall.&nbsp; If anybody doesn&#039;t think it is, if you think the govt will get it&#039;s finances in order soon, then you should sell all gold now.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; At the level of purchasing the OP is considering, I don&#039;t see that much risk for loss (though there is some).&nbsp;&nbsp; The big gains may also take 50 years though.&nbsp; Which apparently is all he&#039;s looking for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
