Back in the earlier days eBay and Bing had crazy high percent cash back deals that you could stack. Also didn’t charge tax back then and shipping was way cheaper. A lot of folks loaded up on coins and bullion routinely way under spot before they eventually wised up and killed it. It was a good run though.

I know... eBay helped fund my PM's and gave me $2K/year for free!

I did buy a one ounce 2021 American Eagle today and paid too much. But... my daughter is expecting our first grandchild in May and this is for my future granddaughter!

I sold off some BTC and rolled it over into a buffalo (which, along with the St Gaudens, is one of my faves). I got one last year too thinking 2020 might be the year it all came crashing down (and what better memento than a gold coin with the year stamped on it). Hopefully 2021 is the year. [laugh]

I LOVE the St Gaudens. Likely the most beautiful coin every created in the US. Stunning piece of art.
 
It certainly is - and I just realized my post made it sound like I bought 2 coins when I was really just saying I like the St.Gs too, not that I actually bought one today.

I'm a huge fan of the buffalos though. The size, color, engraving - they're beautiful coins.

Yeah, they are 100% gold and the color and appearance is superior to American Eagles. They sparkly, much like the gold Canadian Maple Leaf.

If only I had started buying years ago...

Buffalo is my favorite also, have only 1. Almost got one this week but the St Gaudens was on sale and only $80 more.

I’ve got 10 Buffalos and the relief is pretty sweet. Excellent cut and design although my couple Maple Leafs have phenomenal relief as well and are just a bit higher end. All Microsoft cashback and no tax during the Ebay buyathon of 2008. One coin I bought was delayed and the seller sent me a free 1 Oz Silver Buffalo as an apology.
 
When gold finally takes off I bet that PCGS rated St Gaudens at MS65 sell for $4-5K. The premium for the PCGS guarantee will be substantial IMHO.
 
When all the talk of fake silver coins popped up in your FB post @richc I had to go check mine again. Lol 😂

My Buffalos came in the US Mint sheets which have since then started to delaminate.

Thats awesome, I got great deals from Microsoft Bing cashback in stuff like camera lenses but gold and silver weren’t on my radar back then. That didn’t really happen til 2016 when I got a job with lots of driving and I started listening to podcasts.

I grabbed an MS63 St Gaudens for $2128.13 on JM Bullion just now. I wanted a graded coin, so I got a graded coin.

Nice! The MS64 I got two days ago has come down $50 along with gold. Good deal now at $2145 plus $21 Bucks. But I had to use my Bucks before they expired.

A cursory search for Buffalos on Ebay yielded 43 hits with some pretty high prices for the MS70’s- $2500+ 😮I wonder if there is some shortage? Of course mine are 2008 and have that beautiful burnished color.
 
Watch for gold bears to pull the same trick they tried last Sunday night, pick a quiet time to sell millions in futures contracts at once to force the price down and try to trigger automatic stop losses.

This is obvious manipulation, you don’t sell $75 million at once if you’re trying to get a good price for it. You’d only do that to intentionally drive down prices. But since it’s likely a bank or big hedge fund, the SEC is cool with it.

Yes, there’s a shortage of retail gold and silver. Both got cleaned out this weekend and this week.
