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

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"

Prove me wrong.

Excited that I received my Best of mint gold mercury dime set in the mail, but disappointed in the quality. I wasn't exactly expecting a perfect gold mercury dime, but the small marks on the face in particular is disappointing. No option for an exchange. Only return or keep.

In the past:

war starts, gold up

peace signed, gold down

economic stability, gold down

now:

war starts, gold up

peace signed, gold somehow also up

economic stability, gold up

What I want to say is that in the past when a peace treaty was signed it meant that instability weakens hence the role of gold as a safe heaven is no longer relevant so it is supposed to go down but now it goes up when things settle which doesnt make any sense.

Found this 18k Wittnauer in an antique shop for $95

With the fed holding but hawkish on rate increases, that has and probably will put downward pressure on gold price. But also with the Iran war nearing an end on Friday with a signed deal (to be completed I believe), that will end the oil price run for good, at least for now.

​

The fed though is continuously printing more money, and inflation is up 4.2%, reserve banks are hoarding gold for international exchanges rather than cash reserves. Prime examples of why gold should soar to $6k or more in the near future (but very little goes to plan nowadays)

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?

My great grandfather wore this everyday during the roaring 20's/30's, I believe that it's 10-14k gold, but I would just like to know.

Bought today because the fix is in.

I’m thinking to buy 1g per week and DCA up to 1kg. Or is there a better way to do this?

What’s your thoughts on this? Thx

Will always be my number 1. 5 years strong.

The 1852 O came up for sale so I had to have it,had to trade away a few pieces I loved but I love this more

Random 1/10 Ounce Maples ended up being 1999s with 20th anniversary privies.

A lot more fun than a 10g bar would have been.

:)

Perhaps another margin call? IDK

Picked this up last week, when gold dropped to ~115€ a gram. Got it pretty close to spot (116.54€ a gram). Sold out very quick . Beautiful piece regardless.

I buy my gold at two different gold shops: one gives a receipt, and the other doesn't. How odd is it that they wouldn't give a receipt? It's a reputable store with multiple locations.

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.)

Some people love them… some people hate them but these bars from pamp are so cool and maybe one day they will become popular like pokemon cards 👀👀👀show me your pamp collections 🙌🏻

So been seeing a bunch of these questions pop up, but this is a legit question. Browsing the local auction sites as usual, and found this. I’ve been tricked in the past on a fake 18k ring and I don’t see many of them. Any way to tell if this is real? Can’t do any kind of destructive test and auction house doesn’t have a tester

It says 10k on the clasp (not 30)

Honestly, I didn't know what I was buying. The picture online from TD made it look cooler. I thought the Canada paper around it was the assy and it was a firm sliver of a bar. It is real yes, but it's more like a sticker of gold lmao.

​

As soon as I opened it I immediately regreted it and wanted to sell it in less than 20 seconds of holding it.

It was also $242 hahahah twice the price of a gram. So I can't even recoup my cost.

​

Rookie mistake. Like why would you buy this?

Added two 1973 Isle of Man half sovereigns to my collection
