r/Gold

So I’ve been lurking in this group for the last few months just to learn about gold. Y’all are a really interesting bunch of people and I’ve learned a lot. Anyway I’ve been seeing people posting pictures of their stacks and after seeing gold eagles about 50 times it suddenly dawned on me. My grandpa used to send my brother and I coin proof sets every year at Christmas. They were just a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, etc. from that year. I never thought much of it but I suddenly remembered a couple of years we also got some coins in a blue display box and I could’ve sworn that the emblem looked just like the woman on a gold eagle. I remembered they were about the size of a quarter so I thought they might be 1/4 oz eagles. Sure enough I went up to my parents today and pulled the old box of coins I had kept there in storage and this whole time there’s been an oz of gold in this old box.

My brother didn’t believe it because he thought that would be way too much to spend on Christmas gifts but I told him in 2000 and 2002 when these coins were minted gold was 280-300 an oz, so it really wasn’t that much to send a gift that was like 60 bucks. Anyway I just wanted to thank this group for all your posts because if it hadn’t been for y’all I would’ve had no idea I had these for the last 25 years. I have no intention of selling them, in fact I look at it like I got a Time Machine and a chance to buy gold 25 years ago. But what do I do? Just keep stacking over time? Wait till the market goes up and sell? Use them as an emergency fund?

hello -

I shared a post a few days ago showing a family heirloom that I now am caring for and securing, the 1840 $5 liberty. Today I picked up this tiny maple for fun and this is the first time I’ve looked at over an ounce of gold that I’d consider part of ”my“ stack.

crazy to look at. never thought I’d own gold at all.

next I want to add either another maple, a Britannia, a philharmonic, or an Indian head.

Added a 1990 1.55 gram Gold Panda and a 1/10 ounce American Gold Eagle to the stack. Sure the price of gold fell but, in the end all that matters to me is I have gold and it’s all mine.

Apmex is offering gold grams at spot.

I recently recovered this coin metal detecting.. long story short, does anybody else see that Doubling on the word “United”? I’d love for this to be legitimate 🤩🤩🤩

Like 6g for $749 is a stupid deal. It’s below melt but it let my order through. I’d recommend everyone and their mom go buy out their entire inventory.

Probably 85% are 14KT gold chains, bracelets, and earrings. There is some beautiful jewelry though, some of which I am keeping and some selling. All the gold is being sold so I can retire. Thanks Mom.
In that first pic, all the packets on the right are the gold chains. After figuring out melt value, it’s about $40,000 in melt value, jewelry another $20,000.

I don’t know what it mean secondary market, also why are other gram bars more money but same 999 gold and weigh 1 gram. Also should I buy this and trust it? It’s from ampex website . What should I do please help . New at this . Thank you all for responding on my last posts.

Cayman Islands have nice coins😎

Everyone has their own set of ideas about saving, but I’m just starting with 7G of 24karat I’m proud of my progress, but when I see how much gold and savings people here have I can’t help but wonder if I’ll ever achieve financial freedom in my short life
