An article on Gold did you buy all your Gold Coins and Bullion for the year yet? As a side note Silver is now at an ask of 4.72 Could this be the break out that causes the Coin Market to Sky-Rocket to new Highs?
Gold posted a solid gain today pushing through the $325 resistance level. Gold reached as high as $328.30 basis the February contract before easing back slightly. However, the strength in gold is very impressive. Gold may be building the momentum needed to push above the $330 resistance level. If that occurs, an explosive move into the $350 zone is possible. The gold market is at a major turning point as it is nearing a breakout. Most analysts believe that gold will be contained at $330 and it may well be for the remainder of this year. However, the trend lines are clearly pointing higher and a break out seems imminent.
Whether it occurs before the end of the month or shortly thereafter, it is appearing more likely that it will occur. With gold up more than 20% in the past 12 months, it has certainly been the most profitable investment of all. More importantly, it looks like it has the best upside potential of any investment. As Merrill Lynch and others have warned, the stock market remains in a bear mode. The stock market is one that has unreasonable risk and little potential for profits. Gold, after having made a 20 year double bottom and now in a very distinct rising trend over the past few years, is clearly the asset of choice for low risk and high upside potential.
$20 no Motto anyone?

waHT DO YOU THINK GOLD WILL BE AT BY DEC 31 OF THGIS YEAR another three weeks> i say 352 any other guessers??
good shot in the arm to get things rolling again.
I concur with Michael about picking up nice Saints (MS62-64) and nice $20 Libs (MS62-63) with good eye appeal. This past weekend I purchased 10 such pieces at a local show. Had there been more, I would have bought more.

Now I have just finished a basic gold type set with a '76-CC $20 NGC 55 and an ANACS XF-45 '49 no L $1. NOW it's time to get out into the Southern California sunshine and get some fresh smoggy air! The coins go in the vault until Anaheim and Long Beach-time permitting.
I'm just not into gambling-like speculation right now. I got into a lot of trouble due to betting "back in the day" and don't need the headaches. I have steady income, albeit from VA/SocSec disability, and good prospects. Coins are for fun, meeting people, and a relatively decent place to put a few bucks away if done carefully. It's always interesting to read the different opinions here. As they say, "take what you need and leave the rest."
Take care,

<< <i>I collect now. No more gold speculation. I bought type classic pieces last year when gold was at $275 and sold them in June when it hit $325. I made a modest profit.
Now I have almost finished a basic gold type set with a '76-CC $20 NGC 55. I just need a type I gold dollar to finish the job. Then the coins go in the vault until Anaheim and Long Beach-time permitting.

Well said Barney and you are so right it is for fun and we should never loose sight of that. I just happen to take it a step further as i have a great disbelief in the paper Dollar and Folks close to me that know me real well tell me that i should have lived in the 1800's and not now. I reply to them but then i would be dead and not having any fun. Take care GOD bless and have fun.

You write the first post sounding like you are a broker or something and then you don't know what it means to short gold or buy a put?
Are you repeating what you read/heard from some firm?
I don't know what the bid is (probably over 331 if the ask is 331.60) but that would mean it just broke the $330 resistance.
There was strong $340 support in 1991-1997 but dropped down to $252.20 in September 1999.
There was a runaway market in late 1979 and early 1980 which peaked near $873 in February 1980.
I hope it repeats soon - it will pull up other markets like SILVER!!!
and I can sell my pre-1964 Washington quarters/1964 Kennedys - other nondescript older coins.
As far as gold prices go $20 days have been seen - major resistance just broke - we could see $400 by years end (or $290), tomorrow and Monday 12/16 will be big to see if trend explodes and runs away or runs into a wall and gets pushed back down.

Nope not a broker and never played the market with this Put and call thing as i don't know enough about it to take the gamble. Just a simple LONG term invester that likes to watch real money react to world events while i move along through life enjoying my collections.
Whats Lucent doing?

top end gold probably would be most beneficial percentage-wise, but also would be harder to move quickly when prices started falling. What goes up quick also comes down quick
if you have lots of investment money and like holding gold coins then ->
double eagles -> 0.96750 oz. pure gold
eagles -> 0.48375 oz.
half eagles -> .24187 oz.
early bust have more 1838/39 and later are 90%gold with 10%copper
the housing market is slowing, unemployment is high, consumer confidence stinks, commodity prices have been rising for the past year, the world is poised for war, and the central banks have such a load to handle with other financial woes that they may be about ready to toss in the towel on the gold manipulation of the past 20 years. Yes, this looks much different than 1999!

I got in when several of the juniors were under a dollar and have several 3 baggers right now. I love gold
stocks but they aren't for people who are disturbed by violent price swings. You pay your money and you take
your chances.

I was looking at the pre open and pre fix and it seemed to be $3.45 higher and swinging. I think today would be a good day to consolidate the smaller minning company stocks and buy into the big boys. Now to find out who has the best earnings.

plays out today.

Thanks Scott
I am in A temp Holding pattern right now. I am logged on to my account at the Bullion desk and am watching the bullion bounce all over the place today. Plenty of activity but to me it looks like something keeps trying to knock the price back. Have to go look at the minning stocks next.
Picked up a few very nice MS62 1932 $10 Indians today at a real nice price.
Happy Trading

I don't think there was a PM forum then, a little throw back.
Any guesses where it will be 8 years from now?

<< <i>About a year and a half before this post, gold was down around $255. We had a customer who wanted to buy a million dollars worth of gold maple leafs as soon as it got down to $250. It never did, and he didn't.

"A fool and his money..." Well, some varient of that!
In 8 years will we regret not buying a lot more at $1200? Investments are all a gamble.

Who the hell keeps a record of such old stuff OR has the time to go look this crapola up?

Or wishing we sold everything at $1200+ ?
When people see the title of this thread
and not the date it was started
Just thought it would be neat to visit a past thread, with all the fake thread stuff, just a little change.
Took no time at all to run a query, just throw in a date, and a key word.

yep. Either scenario could be. Truth is, no one knows where any of their investments will go.

No, please don't, I'm begging you....
Luckily it was 2002.
If we get hyperinflation, a $50 gold eagle might be "worth" a lot more than $1200 but may have no more spending power than today.

Yep so now that gold is at $3000 plus and silver at 32 plus My prediction is, Silver to $100 Gold will go to $4000. time frame a year or two. It will be an up and down ride just like the last 10 years.

I was a senior in college when this thread originated. I remember thinking that I should buy some common date Certified Saints. They were $400-$500 online for 64s. I really wish I would’ve done it back then. I was just more interested in classic Renaissance silver coinage. It was two years before I started my Walker registry set. I should’ve just bought a few Saints, at least. Oh well, hindsight is always 20/20…
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

Still a good time to pick up a few before $10,000 gold
Premiums on 64s are minimal
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
What makes you think the price of silver will triple? Is Musk going to try to corner the market?
23 year old thread!?
The problem is that paper money becomes more and more worthless every day and yes I am buying gold and silver even at today's market prices. Gold and silver prices are relavent and paper money is paper. Give me gold, give me silver you can have paper.
In response to your question-no, I don't. I just started purchasing gold coins a few years ago.
When I saw the title, I was assuming the OP was referring to some ETF whose value tracked GOLD/10.
Lets revisit this tread in 23 years and see if i am right.
"The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD GOD Almighty."
Even at the current price, $3,200, I might add some more, but they have mostly numismatic value.
I purchased many significant gold coins since 2002, including all but three of the 12 major types of early gold, issued prior to August 1834.
I think this is a common misunderstanding. Paper money, issued by a country, is backed by all of the productivity of that country and will ebb and flow in value in relation to that productivity. So paper money does indeed have value. Now if you mean crypto currency, it is backed with nothing and only exists because of the ponzi scheme it represents………….
In reality-paper money only has value if you trust the government that prints it. Permanently going off the gold standard will eventually deflate all paper money value to valueless. As I stated above-I will buy all the silver and gold I can even at today's prices because I am one of those that does not and never have trusted unbacked paper money.
I remember the day when I could walk into a bank and demand silver coins for my silver certificate one dollar bill. These days are long gone forever. If the government needs money they simply print it without any backing whatsoever.
Silver is basically worthless too, its just older than paper and more tangible. They are all mediums used to represent labor and food, maybe bullets . The ratios and who controls them are different but I assure you the silver interests are not looking out for the little guy either.
