Today I broke a record of sorts. Previously, my single day record for gold purchase had been 6.5 ounces in 1 shot. I shattered that today with a 10oz deal. Small potatoes to alot of you, but an historic event for me!image Today's purchase makes for a total of 60 AGE quarters I now own with another 40 more in the works. I wanna be the 1st kid on my block with 100 AGE quarters!

    8% over, which sounds high until you look around at whats available in this size. Every shop I called (and im in a MAJOR metropolitan area) quoted me sell prices of 10% and up. Well, every shop but one.image Tulving is the absolute rock bottom I have been able to find, at 8% over, and thats for a minimum of 10oz, but my buddy over at Harlan J. Berk was able to match them this time for me. Occasionally you can pick them off ebay for a little less, but its a "1 here, and 1 there" proposition.

    Any reason you went with 1/4s?

    I like the divisibility of quarters, and they have the advantage over tenths with a slightly lower premium and much more heft and substantial feel. I thought about doing all halves, but $300 chunks of gold for some reason appealed more to me than $600 chunks. I can think of only one disadvantage to buying quarters over the other 3 sizes, and thats the face value.....somehow you get screwed with quarters!!!image

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    I always thought the 1/4 oz AGE's should have been denominated at $12.50 since the 1 oz has a face value of $50 and the 1/2 oz has a face value of $25 etc. just to be logical and consistent.

    I sprung for a tube of the 2009 quarters from Tulving @ 9.75% over spot. Picked out the best 25, sent them across the street and got back 23 MS70s. When Tulving promised me a virgin tube they weren't kidding!

    Something about the size of those quarters just makes them the perfect bullion stash.

    I like the quarters too. But then, I also like the tenths, halves, and 1 ozers every bit as much! It's just not hard to like these dense, pretty, substantial and valuable coins. Not hard at all, no matter the size. No kidding.

    You pick up a gold coin and your first impression is "dang, that's cool".image

    So if you've been collecting 1/4 oz golds did you happen to pick up any 08-W's before they took off in price? --Jerry
