In honor of gold in the 1850s ... OK now on to the 1880s

@jmlanzaf When 90% goes negative enough (or stays negative with lower silver prices) I may have to buy some replacement Walkers. It's getting to a point where those are almost 100 years old.

Halves have a different number. Halves are still at +$0.75, down from +$11 about a month or so ago.

Sounds about right. When silver was at $18.50 I was paid $210-220 a roll for halves. With about 7.15 oz per roll, that's about $29 and change per oz. Crazy that as silver went up, prices came down (a lot).

It's really more about the rapidity of the drop to me. I mean, I never understood why the high premiums persisted for 2 years. But they evaporated in the matter of 2 weeks after being high for 2 years.

It's kind of why this thread amuses me. While people are cheering the rise in silver, all my dealer friends are bemoaning the fact that the price has been dropping.

It does make you wonder how many people bought at $18 and think they've made money at $24 when they would really be lucky to be even. As you pointed out, you got 21.50x face when silver was at 18.50. Today, with silver at $24, you would get 18x face. So, if you had bought a roll back then at about $225 to $230, you could only sell it today at $180 - a 22% loss when silver went UP almost 30%.

People stacking silver eagles were buying them at $30 when silver was $19 and now can only sell them at $28 with silver at $24.

Just really fascinating...

Well now
Today’s moment in time is one I just love seeing, even for a second. Just looky at silver . $24+ is very nice indeed

I know I've said it before, but I would stop using that site. It's designed to make you overpay for bullion. The highest ASK price of the day is only $24.22. They use a future month rather than COMEX to sell their bullion products at a slightly higher number.

LOL.

Was wondering how I got tagged into that response and wewnt back a few pages to double check, then realized you probably forgot to edit my name out in the quote.

Anyways, the Gold and Silver are inching up at 4:40 PM EST with Silver at $23.70 and Gold at %1,810.38 even as markets all over were also starting to go up today.

Lol I think the grade of that coin is more accurate than the date, relative to gold price. "Almost good"

@CharlotteDude You have the best coins. Those two are fabulous (as are all the other coins in your collection). Thanks for the inspiration

I’m liking the look of this as a year end bright light.
But, yikes, palladium and gold are almost inverted. Palladium cheaper than gold🤔

Jzyskowski1

Ok. A moment frozen in time. 😳
The Invertion of Late 22

Palladium cheaper than gold. For a minute. 🧐

Look at the bid ask spread on Palladium (and Rhodium).

Traditionally, palladium was always cheaper than gold. It only recently flipped, about the last 5 years.

Silver was past $24 and Gold at $1830 a little after 10 am eastern today......................

I do not take anything from this. Just thought it was kind of coincidental.
6 month gold starts and ends at about the same amount. Trends down and then up.
1 year gold starts and ends at about the same amount. Trend up and then down for the first six months.
Kind of like a sin wave (a very rough wave though).

Nice.

Here is mine:

And a Proof 1850 for comparison that is not mine:

GOLD $1,824.86 (+9.32)

As 2022 came to a close, we did get close to seeing a return to $1850 gold.

pcgscacgold

Just saw $1837 on CNBC

Jzyskowski1

$1850!!!!!!!!

pcgscacgold

Gold is making a RUN in time for FUN.

pcgscacgold

Seeing $1867 this morning and now seeing a hole in my collection. No 1860's gold for me. I need to fix that soon.

Jzyskowski1

Poor palladium 🧐. A hundred back of gold.

pcgscacgold

Liked it better down in the $1600. I want to add the 1oz to my collection but not looking to pay $2800+ for an oz of it. Premiums are way too high on those. Need a nice spot price drop on a Wednesday when they recalc mint prices.

1855 now.

This story keeps repeating. I think it needs to breakout above $1,900 to get a more sustained rally going.

Currently my oldest gold in TrueViews is a 1907 so I am still impatiently waiting to post.

If you want to post, just step up and buy some older coins. 😀

I am working on it.

I have to sell my moderns to afford the older ones and am waiting for the gold price to go up for that. Catch-22.

GOLD $1,869.38 (+35.85)

Maybe even back to 1880 as we head into the weekend?

$1865

Palladium seems to have made a nice comeback

1northcoin

What can we expect for Monday?

Suspect the triple whammy of good news may be playing a role. (The football player who recovered, the House no longer divided, and an Idaho predator no longer loose.)

pcgscacgold

Just saw $1878

asheland

Jzyskowski1

1886😁

1northcoin

So here we go again?

This thread heralded 1850 gold and then quickly had to adjust to 1880 gold.

asheland

It's nice as I somewhat recently bought some gold and it's higher than I paid now...

pcgscacgold

Seeing $1882 this afternoon.

Jzyskowski1

_silver is doing the rollercoaster $24.30-23.75. But gold is really hanging hard at 1880+. Just seeing $1900. 😁. Yippee because where gold goes silver will follow. _

Jzyskowski1

1894😁
