Most jewelers will buy it. But at about 90-95 percent of the spot price. So it needs to appreciate to break even.

I love when people say, "if the dollar goes to shit I'll have gold". That's a useless comment too, what are they planning on doing, buy some food, cut off a piece of their gold and exchange for it? My guess is the other side of the transaction will think you are crazy.

You are so wrong it's hilarious. Look at gold compared to inflation throughout time and you will see it is a bad investment. Gold as a hedge has been proven to be economically inefficient by several Nobel laureates. I am sure you have a Reddit page saying otherwise. But who am I to argue on the internet with someone obviously smarter than me…..

You are right. But $1000 in the s&p 500 would be over $4000 today. So you could buy about 2x more if you did not invest in gold. So you may not a Nobel prize winner but even easy math shows you could have been better.

US and Canadian gold has always fetched a better resale price than generic name gold. Even the once popular krugerrand (south african gold) will sell less/oz than US or Canadian gold. Any decent bullion dealer or even local collector coin dealer should pay full spot price on US and Canadian gold. Dont expect them to pay full price on generic gold because the resale is harder.

As many mentioned, gold is a hedge against inflation. My dad always said twenty ounces of gold throughout history would always buy a new car. The same 20 ounce pieces 100 years ago would buy a new 20K car today. I do admit, the new car prices since covid have skyrocketed, but he was spot on.

Quote from VioletGuitar6454 :
Just curious, are these gold/silver coins somewhat liquid? I mean, if I buy some and someday I need cash, is there any place I can sell them and recoup the money?
It's not worth it in my opinion, you would have to go to a local pawnshop if you needed the money right away. Spot price is the current value of gold currently so it can go up and down all the time just like stocks. So if you go and pawn it they are not going to give you spot price because they won't be able to make any money off it. I have no idea what they would offer I'm sure it varies shop to shop, but if it's worth $2K spot the pawn shop would probably offer at least a couple hundred dollars less.

False, a coin like this should offer full price of spot. Sometimes even a premium

Quote from WittyOctopus6741 :
looks like if I bought gold in 2000 then I would be doing pretty well? Is inflation up 3.5x since 2000?
Yeah if you cherry pick your buy point based on history. Or you could have bought it in 1980 or 2012 and still be upside down on it.

Gold is a speculative commodity with volatile price behavior.

Give me 20 ounces of 24k gold and I will gladly give you the $20k car of your choice. I'll even throw in free delivery.

so 2-3% over spot standard in most locations see if your location has any taxes before purchase

definitely not paying 20-30% premiums for eagles just take delivery from comex
they made it hard find a way to do it

form communities to pool together to get stacks from comex for spot.
since mint refuses to mint for us near spot make our own mint that uses our comex silver to print silver coins.

mint is legally obligated to print coins on request but would rather steal from the public forcing collectibles instead of minting as close to cost as possible as our constitution dictates.

I was incorrect, I meant to say ten ounces would always buy a new car

And gold can crash too. What's your point? You picked two random points in time, I used the same dates and had double the return. Markets and commodities are not safe and volatile. They will go up and down. Historically stocks have done exponentially better.
Sounds like someone may have gotten burned buy capitulating during the last market run-up, buying at the top, then riding it all the way down (it'll come back any day now), then finally throwing in the towel and selling, calling the bottom. If that were me I may be buying gold instead of the S&P too. Timing is everything.

Statistically your argument doesn't hold water.Applause

The other 9 billion people who were also paranoid were just that.

10oz of gold wouldn't buy you a new car 1982-2009. Barely buys you one today.
