Edit: I found a magnet and it’s not magnetic. It feels relatively heavy for its size.

I’m at goodwill with no way to test it…

Does it make sense to use a gold etf in a tax advantaged account to dollar cost average into and then sell and convert to physical when you have enough for a full coin. Reasons being that is smooths out the price compared to saving in cash and allows you to avoid buying high premium fractional. I don't see people mentioning this as a strategy, am i missing something?

Does anyone watch bgm, what are ur thoughts 🤔, I bought last January and now the prices are back to when I purchased. One thought that I had is what if 5 -6k is genuinely the top , like what if gold cant physically go higher cuz at 6k we would already have major collapse ,bailouts, dollar replacement.. including premiums buying at 4k to get to 5k isn't much of a gain , the only reason why I think this cuz some stackers claim 10k gold like that wouldn't be a disastrous time nd they would be able to profit when the world around them is worried about food and water ...

Hello fellow gold collectors!

Recently I purchased a new large Franz Iosef gold coin. The coin was purchased from a goldmith I trust, though he acted as an intermediary for me. The thing is, this latest coin has a weird, glossy, almost rough surface. While the coin feels in every other concievable way like the coins I have from earlier (weight, temperature absorbtion, shape, size), and I don't seriously doubt its authenticity, I can't understand why this one has such a glossy surface. It's looks like it's been shaved by sandpaper. Can anyone comment as to why this difference is present? All my other gold coins and bars are otherwise shiny and reflective as hell. The first coin im the video is an older coin for comparisson, the second coin is the new one in question.

Thanks for your insights!

I just got this yesterday. None of the shops in my town are open today. Help!

I was looking through my parents(deceased) change drawer and I found this gold coin. I don’t know, it looks pretty cool. I think it’s somewhere around half an ounce, very cool looking though. I guess it’s a keychain. Any thoughts

Trying to figure out exactly what this is. The old holder says Alexander III “the Great” gold stater.

Can anyone help identify the specific type, mint, and approximate date?

Weight: 8.336 grams
Diameter: 18.4–18.5 mm
Thickness: approximately 3 mm at the highest point

Photos of both sides, the edge, and the old holder included. Appreciate any insight!

I am an old jeweller like really old family business
I just wanna ask this community
Or maybe other jeweller too
Do get asked alot about when the gold will go up ?
I am tired of this question now 😂

Placer gold from Cauca region mined by Mineros S.A. (MSA.TO) company , I don't know how much time take to get that amount. Video from

It ain’t much, but it’s mine

I’m always impressed that the mints can make these so small and still look good

I had some gold crowns that I decided to melt into a button. So satisfying watching it melt, and cleaning/polishing it up was fun too. 68-69% purity. This is my first attempt after buying a small melting dish and some borax flux.

I am going to sell it for cash and thought it would be much easier to sell for cash than raw dental scraps!

Hey guys, im looking into buying my first gold.

Atm im looking at a Credit Suisse Gold ounce bar, but i have my doubts and fears.

They have a laser engraved serial number. Plus hes selling below market value.

3600€ instead of 3700€ which is market.

What is your advice? Skip this one?
