    What I'm trying to figure out is how gold went through the roof even as bond rates dropped and the dollar seemed to strengthen against world currencies...

    That all seems contradictory to me.

    The rise in the dollar and gold are indeed contradictory as are many other factors. But one could say that gold sees
    through the hype and is based on reality. In any case the demise of gold, just a short week ago was greatly
    exagerrated.

    well bonds andcurrency are paper and we have seen much paper in the world go down the tubes

    gold is money and has been over 3500 years and always will be or at least in my lifetime and that is all that matters to me once i am gone you are all on your ownimage

    i think gold has a glitter

    and i think even better are pre 1933 gold coins be it choice unc 1924 1927 1928 saints proof civil war gold coins cameoed and choice proof or 1880's low mintage three dollar gold in choice au or ten indians in choice unc or even superb gem unc lib quarter eagles to classic head gold coins in au

    you cant devalue the above

    paper and promises you can

    we have seen it before

    Michael, many of the coins you mention have values that are primarily numismatic in nature. Will an uptick of even 20 or 30% in bullion make that much of a difference in AU 3 dollar gold? I think not. Now the common date Saints are another matter entirely...Mike

  • ALL precious metals are going up. Gold, Platinum, Palladium, Silver, Osmium, Iridium, etc. have all been moving upward. Rhodium in particular has just skyrocketed. A mere two years ago it was only around $800 a troy ounce, and now its just pushed up over $3,000! The 10 gram sample of Rhodium metal that I bought for about $250 is now worth almost a thousand dollars. So this is something that's not too shocking as it's happening with all precious metals. That's why I'm glad I bought my palladium when I did. I had held off on buying gold and platinum ounces when it was affordable, and now they are well out of my price range. I bought my palladium ounces while still affordable, and if it continues to trend up it won't be in my price range either. (Can't wait for my Pd Maple Leaf to arrive. image )
    I collect the elements on the periodic table, and some coins. I have a complete Roosevelt set, and am putting together a set of coins from 1880.

    YES if you pick and choose carefully

    and if as per your above statement it is a pcgs/ngc au58 monster slider great eye appeal 1883 three dollar gold or the same coin but 1860 date then you had better believe i would want these two specific three dollar gold coins!!!! as a short term hold and EVEN BETTER YET!! as a long term hold

    READ THE BELOW and buy the above or others like it like in my first post on this thread and you will do okie in my opinion time will tell though

    No such thing as "invest" anymore....but it will take another 5 years or so to prove that fact to John Q. Public. "Investment" will have a whole new meaning by 2010.

    By the above I meant that what most believe to be "sound" investment stategies today, esp. those
    churned forth from the mainstream media, 401k's, financial advisors, wall street, etc., will be turned topsy turvy in the following years. Things that no one considered as sound places to stick their money will all of a sudden become the "right" thing to do. People will be cursing the fact that they were hoodwinked by today's financial talking heads. The entire herd of baby boomers cannot all magically retire on their housing and stock profits over the next 20 years. What seems so right today will be proven oh soooo wrong down the road. It's the nature of investing. And since we've turned into a full fiat society since 1971 with a highly leveraged and manipulated economy, one could argue that there are no true investments today, all are forms of speculation pushed by the herd mentality. In the end, the herd always gets it wrong if they stay together too long....and history shows herds always overstay the party.

    Gold and Silver, Perfect Together.


    "The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD GOD Almighty."
  • Amen Brother Michael, Preach on! Twenty Saints all dates 63 and above. Twenty Libs all dates 63 and above. All others going thru the roof as well in the higher grades for the date and mint mark. Four years ago ms 64 PCGS twenty libs 1901 and 1903 dates sold for 650 to 675 with very few takers. Common date saints in 64 were 625 for very nice ones. I bought a bunch of the above at those prices and kept them even when our non wannabe real dealer at Legend said they were scary at the high levels and to sell them. That was about two and a half years ago and they have sky rocketed in value since then. Now all the major non wannabe dealers are scrambling to get their digits on nice saints and libs and other denominations in the better grades. Like a poor marksman, they are always a little off the mark. I saw people pay 1500 dollars for an NGC 1927 saint in ms64 which would upgrade to 65 no question. But that price was too high for a 65. Just shows how hot the saint market is right now. The 65 coins are still a bargain at 1300 each, if gold gets to 600 or above they will double easily. I am still a buyer of nice 65 saints and nice 64 libs. Go for it!

  • "Pool Gold" = "Fool Gold"

    Don't let them fool you! Take physical possession of your gold. When the bottom falls out, they will never deliver and you will be left holding the bag.

    You could have bought 64 Saints for $650 just 2 months ago when no one wanted them. I should know I was trying to stock pile them again
    and was beginning to wonder if I was really stupid for doing so. $125 return on $650 in only 2 months was a nice little boost. They were as low as $450 or so a few years back when gold was starting to lift off from $320/oz. Now those were the days (lol).

    The public is still totally unaware of gold and PM's. Wait until they get into the act. Usually when too many people start to bad mouth a "speculation" that's just about the time it turns. That applys to the US Dollar index, stocks, PM's, etc. They have a mind of their own
    in the short term no matter what the financials tend to indicate. In other words, you can go broke before being proved right. It just pays to be on the right side of the longer term trend and then pull a little off the table when the tend breaks.

    I Think this is the real reason behind the Gold boom:

    From Bloomberg:

    The announcement by the U.S. Federal Reserve on Nov. 10 that it would stop reporting data on the broadest measure of the money supply, or M3, triggered gold's rally this week, said James Turk, founder of Jersey, British Channel Islands-based GoldMoney.com, which allows people to make payments in gold rather than currencies.

    ``Not reporting M3 is the equivalent of General Motors not reporting how many cars it produces,'' Turk said. ``The misstep will only hasten the rush out of dollars into the safety and security of gold.''
