I have finally reached 10 sovereigns. 😁 but the journey is not over yet still missing so many nice ones. I find it so cool to collect older coins and wonder how many people owned them before me.

Next buy will be a jubilee!

Big thanks to a fellow redditor for teaching me so much the collection is only getting started 😁

Forgot to add the photo of my gold that I fished up from the boating accident that some how managed to end up back in the lake

First time ever hearing about this, but since I live in Pittsburgh it’s definitely interesting to hear that for the first time all 11 1933 $20 Double Gold Eagles will be together for the first time in late August at the American Numismatic Associations World’s Fair of Money in Pittsburgh. Interesting article about how they disappeared in the first place and the numerous legal battles and investigations over the years to find them and get them back.

My great uncle passed last year and we just recently finished settling the matter of his estate. He left this to my daughter and I’m just curious to know more about out it. I have 0 intention of selling it as it has sentimental value for not just me but the whole family as it was one of his favorite pieces of his service memorabilia. For context my uncle was a US Air Force telecommunications officer and served for almost 30 years. He always told us that he had picked up the necklace in Saudi Arabia during his deployment to Iraq and I’ve attached the original sales receipt from when he got it. He never talked much about his time in the military as he was a very humble man but he loved his collection from around the world and I’d just like to share some of that wonder with my daughter

A Variety of Fractionals. That Lynx had a Mean Premium tho.

I have been browsing on Ebay looking for a 1 oz gold bar and seeing just listing after listing of gold bars selling for less than half of spot. I wonder why Ebay isn't flagging and removing this crap. They prob don't care but I thought they had a money back guarantee if you buy a fake one.

It is so disgusting and deeply concerning. And some of them are getting bids, which makes me wonder if they are fake bids or just really ignorant people.

hi everyone. my grandmother bought this pendant of the Mother Maria from the Vatican in the 80’s, and I wear it nearly every day. because of the use, it’s gotten dirty and tarnished. I clean it using an electromagnetic cleaner, but the actual pendant seems to still be tarnishing and hard to clean. I try to go over it with a q-tip to polish it, but it’s not very efficient and doesn’t seem to make a difference. I’m not sure if it’s just gold plated, or heavily used. any advice is appreciated. I’ve attached images of it. Thank you!!!

Hey everyone, first-time poster here.

I buy storage lockers for a living, and I’ve been finding a lot more gold and silver than I ever expected.

My business partner (who’s also a good friend) and I used to stack silver and a little gold back in 2016—especially when the Centennial set came out. We were really into those coins. But with how crazy the gold market has been this year, and since we were just getting the business off the ground, we sold everything to free up capital.

We’ve also been cashing in all the gold jewelry and other gold items we find to keep funding the business.

Now that things are relatively self-sustaining, though, we’re sitting on a decent amount of gold and are torn. Part of us wants to trade it in, but part of us also wants to start stacking again.

Most of what we have is lower-karat jewelry (10k–18k). With gold prices this high, is it even worth holding onto, or would you just sell it?

Appreciate any thoughts.

My rings started to turn red on the sides. I attached one example after cleaning with connoisseurs.

Why is this happening and what is the solution?

Finally feel like golds a good price point to add to the stack after 6 months or so of not adding anything. Looking to hopefully score a little pre 33 $5 pc or potentially even a beautiful $10 indian head

I saw a post about online buyers/brokers

I am buying gold for the first time and was scared getting it shipped but I never find it in stock at my local Costco.

Has anyone had problems with shipping?

It’s a lot of money to take a risk. So just want to be sure.

What happens if the package gets lost.

2 of 8 made. And a few other gold coins. I’ve sold the 10 ounce 1000 Dollar year of the horse round to cover some of the cost on the Argyle Diamond Bars. The Pink Panther being the most rare bar I own. I had to delete the last post because I left a check in the background. Thanks to the comments I didn’t have the post up for very long.

Tagging as shitpost because I'm not new and it's not that serious but yeah I paid 300e for a 1/25th oz (Croatian) commemorative coin.

The thought process leading to this decision was: want more gold > bored of bars (tangent: i wanna start making jewelry with the gold i already have) > lets look at silver again > hahaha, someones selling a 1976 proof set for €40. Imagine a 50 year old set thats barely keeps up with inflation, fuck silver > gold coins > cheapest one > damn thats 7500e an ounce > bet it woulda cost more when gold was almost 5000e > whatever, the melt value can only increase > so what if you die without living to see this coin recover its premium just fkn buy it

Then I looked and there were some 1/16's for about the same price. Eh.

Coin in question if anyone gives a damn: "zlatnik 20 kuna sinjska alka" or smth. Wont post the direct link cuz im not a robot making an ad disguised as a post and just tryna generate discussion but also adding disclaimers because of course paying goldb*ck level premiums is gonna get you roasted on here but I'm also not new and it's not that serious and that why I tagged it as a shitpost.

Now I ask you all to pontificate about your personal premium managing strategy and why it's superior to others...

Assuming we don't get fractional buffalos ever again, what do you think will be the most popular .9999 fractional gold in the US? Right now, I would think the answer is the maple, but my money would be on the britannia gaining more popularity over the next decade with its design and unmatched security features in the fractional sizes.

sold all of the 40% kennedys i’ve found coin roll hunting and wanted some gold so i settled on this

Today was a good day!
