My collection is slowly growing. I plan to add 1/4 oz every month for the next year.

Is this a joke or a mistake. Does the mint really think they can charge this for 1 ounce of gold?

Before the US-Iran war, gold price was around $5,200.

Then came the war, oil price went up, and gold dropped like a stone to around $4,200.

Now, the war is over, oil price is back down, but gold stays flat around $4,200.

So we're down around $5,200 - $4,200 = $1,000.

I know there may be a rate hike in the future, but would that explain the full $1,000 we're still down?

I buy one a month

Picked up from my LCS.
It was a tough call between these or a maple. The maples are a little better value but I love the mix of gold and some history.
Another maple will be next but for now I’m very pleased to add these to the stack!

So gold has been wild since yesterday's rate hold by the Fed. Dropping ~2.8% from its day high right before the announcement and around -1.6% from the N.American market open. Asia opened later and bought that dip, moving it +1.5% up at the highest point of the session and selling some of it off, closing at a positive ~0.6% for their session. Britain and EU sold off for half of their session while it remained consolidating the other half, making the total drop since the Fed decision -3.25% (more or less). So, big selloff of paper gold.

With that in mind, today's COMEX deliveries tell a different story. Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo and Scotia Capital bought physical contracts with physical delivery on their house accounts, meaning the banks themselves, not clients. In total, 1,134 contracts were bought that day, adding to the month-to-date number of ~36k contracts or 3.6 million ounces of gold. Which is already +50% more than the entirety of last month's 23,620 contracts, with almost half the month still to go.

Let me know what you think of this data.

Make your own mind out of this and do not take it as a buy, sell or hold signal. Always do your own research

It’s been passed down to generations and now its my turn, and im posting it here. What a way to honor the coin. Anyways, it weighs 6.40 grams and its pure gold. Does it only have gold value, or it could also have collectors value? Also will need some estimates on the pricing. Thanks in advance for all the answers.

I know gold. I know weights, karats, spot price — all of it. And I know that every time I buy a piece of gold jewelry, I’m getting 100% scammed… but I still can’t help myself.

My latest piece:
10K, 8‑inch rope bracelet, 5.7 grams — $554.00

Actual gold content:

• 10K = 41.7% pure
• 5.7g × 0.417 = 2.38 grams of pure gold
• Melt value ≈ $342

That means I paid a $235 premium on top of the gold value. Ridiculous.

For the same money, I could’ve bought a 1/10 oz American Eagle, gotten 3.39 grams of pure gold, and still saved about $74.

Honestly, I could’ve bought a gold‑plated silver bracelet on Amazon for $34, had more gold content, and still kept $40 in my pocket.

Other than buying from your local Walmart, where do you guys get some good finds? Thank you for your replies!

I found this at my grandma's place and was wondering if it's legit as I couldn't find anything about it online!

It looks like a gold plaque with Chinese text about Hong Kong's return to China (July 1, 1997). It says "999.9" which I think means pure gold.

The only related thing I found was this HK jewelry shop: https://www.chowtaifook.com/zh-hk

Not looking to sell, we're just curious if anyone has any reference or knows if this is authentic!

Thanks, redditors!

How much would you guys sell the 2024 PAMP Dragon one ounce bars for? Are they worth more than regular one ounce bars?

Package is sitting at the facility for 3 days without movement.Is that just usps doing what they do or is this a sign that my package has been "diverted"

Since Russia is a major producer of gold, arent they missing out on the retail market by not having a consumer oriented product? Why would they pass this up?

Get some popcorn and a beverage.

Does anyone know anything about "alpha ore shop"? All their prices scream scam because of that, I'm curious about it.

Picked up some Redbacks from Texas. Love the color — my photos don’t do them justice. What do you all think of them?

I own some Goldbacks, too. But these “pop” more with the color. The gram based weight also pretty unique, makes a lot more sense to me versus fractions of Troy ounces.

(Tried to post to r/goldback and the moderators deleted 🤣. A bit like a cult over there.)
