I was really hoping PMs would break down again so I could buy a couple rolls of silver. Liberty.coin on ebay seems to somehow set their prices to fluctuate with spot. Hopefully the fed will come out and talk about all the tightening they are planning to do in the near future![]()
Gorgeous coin Rich.This morning I got a 5% eBay bucks offer and found this item:

SPECIAL PRICE! $20 Saint Gold Double Eagle MS-62 NGC/PCGS (Random) | eBay
Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for SPECIAL PRICE! $20 Saint Gold Double Eagle MS-62 NGC/PCGS (Random) at the best online prices at eBay! Free shipping for many products!www.ebay.com
So with eBay bucks about $1880 for a PCGS rated coin in uncirculated condition, about 100 years old, and it contains .9675 ounces of gold.
The eBay bucks make this a better than average deal. But, like @Varmint, I do miss the days of 8% and 10% eBay bucks. Damn those were nice!

St Gaudens had other projects to keep himself occupied when not designing US coinage: The Shaw Memorial - Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park (U.S. National Park Service)Certainly among the most beautiful coins ever minted in the US. Just adding a little to the collection a bit at a time.

Have not seen a decent deal on these in ages. This is $1832/oz after Ebay bucks or about $25 over spot.

British Gold Sovereign Great Britain Avg Circ Random Date | eBay
Containing. 2354 of an ounce of Gold and featuring iconic designs, it is easy to see why the Gold British Sovereign is one of the most popular Gold coins in the world. Gold Bars 1 oz Gold Bars Fractional Gold Bars.www.ebay.com
Would have to buy 3 to avoid tax though.
IIRC eBay bucks are earned for a single item/order. So if you bought 3 to avoid sales tax you'd only get 5% on one of the items.
Or maybe it has changed?
Yup. Hold!Well, the suicide bombers in Afghanistan changed the price direction of gold...

I get the Harry Laibstain, “First Shot” email. He bought several nice original 65 Saints - details below. That’s a fair price for numismatic collector quality saint. Just passing along in case anyone is interested…
$20 Saint Gaudens
We purchased a nice group of 65 Saints. These are not your run of the mill wholesale quality saints. Bought privately, the coins are original and undipped.
Pick at 2,375
Three or more at 2,350

@Varmint @Win and I took off in my Audi S8. Ronin 2 coming to a theater near you.
So gold is now up to $1815 and it appears the Fed speak has solidified the position for big money that inflation is not transitory, bond buying will continue, and rates will never go up. Hoping to see $1850 resistance break maybe next week.
Yeah, you’re right.Powell continued to insist that inflation is temporary, so no taper is needed, and the market is buying it, that's why it's up.
Gold I think is up just cause there was no taper talk today.
However I'm not sure gold's rally will be sustained, cause nothing changed today. After a brief rally I think gold investors will go back to "sell gold cause the taper is coming!"
Basically the Fed just punted today, didn't say anything. So the gold downward trend is likely to resume until something significant happens, like the Fed tapers or stock market corrects.
Link?The news from Astan is causing some jitters. Silver just bumped off 24$.
Nothing direct, but China and rare earths as well as lithium, gold and silver will be in the news.Link?
I’m curious what you meant by “Astan” other than being a small village in Iran.Nothing direct, but China and rare earths as well as lithium, gold and silver will be in the news.
Might have meant Asia?I’m curious what you meant by “Astan” other than being a small village in Iran.
Probably means the buildup of forces against Taiwan as well as the movement into Afghanistan for infrastructure and renminbi debt accrual.Might have meant Asia?
Short for Afghanistan.I’m curious what you meant by “Astan”
