Gold and silver prices are down

You'd think that I'd just bought a hoard of gold coins this past Saturday, based on today's price action.
Me buying one Maple Leaf will cause a $50 billion drop in the gold market.
 
been a long time but I squeezed in a gold purchase. $2092 w/ $100 Ebay bucks back.

@Varmint did you get an eBay Bucks special? I guess I'm not worthy...

With the $100 off that's a good buy.
 
I wasn't sure it was a good buy or not - cause you can get silver eagles or buffalos for about the same price. But I kind of like getting a 100 year old coin.

You also get NGC/PCGS certification that the coin is real. And it is a 100 year old coin in Unc. condition.

If I got the eBay bucks offer I'd grab one as well.

Eagles and Buffalos are 1 troy ounce AU exactly. Pre 33 gold is .975 OZ. I have read there are s-loads of pre-33 gold in foreign vaults because the law allows the US to redeem gold certificates (way back when) with $20 in gold coin or 1oz gold per $20 certificate.

Common date pre-33 gold (except perhaps in very high grades) have very little numismatic value, and the prices are propped up by the metal content. But they sure are cool.

Thanks, I inherited $20k from my mom and want to buy either PMs or mining stocks. I like the idea of passing down gold coins from grandma to her grandkids someday.

Would be cool if I get her birth year, 1932.

PCGS rated coins also have are guaranteed to be real. With so many fraud coins out there these days it's a nice feature to have.

PCGS rated $20 St Gaudens will always have a premium over spot. They're just a bit more attractive to long term investors.

Whatever one does, buy from a reputable dealer. A dealer who you know tests their product before shipping. There are so many scams out there these days.
 
My jdbullion account got hacked. Unfortunately I stored a card and some guy in India bought a gold bar and shipped it to Boston. Cought it in time but beware
I would hope when your CC company saw a purchase sourced in Hyderabad they would nix it right away or text you to check whether it was fraudulent or not.

Nope. I actually was pulling into a jobsite. Got an order confirmation. Figured I would wait 5 minutes for a meeting. Got back to my phone 5 minutes later and had literally 250 emails from random newsletter sites confirming my subscription. Called sdbuillion and they canceled it very quickly. Then reported everything as spam
. Apparently people will try to hide an order confirmation in a shit ton of spam emails

Good catch. I had one such experience with a credit card I never used. A $600 charge from Amazon appeared....the day before it was charged. I just happen to look at the card in my wallet that day after and wonder why I still had it and if there was a balance. Looked online and there it was. Talk about providence!

Good catch on you. Needless to say I spent 3 days changing passwords. Apparently my email and common password was part of a data breach. These people suck. I turned on Amazon feature where I had to put in a text number in order to log in. Day after the bullion thing I woke up to 2 texts from Amazon for login security numbers. I made all my passwords different and I know it sucks but I feel better. Fuggin aholes
