Hardware store haul
Bought some spring cleaning supplies with Goldbacks last week! The lady at the counter was unfamiliar with them at first but understood what they were about after I left lol.

Russia sold 22T of gold this year
Partly explains the fall in the price of gold.
(Kitco News) – The Bank of Russia has sold 21.8 tonnes of gold since the start of 2026 to help finance the country’s budget deficit, which had grown to $61.2 billion by the end of March, according to Russian and Ukrainian reports.
Russia’s gold reserves declined to 2,304.76 tonnes as of April 1, 2026, including a decrease of 6.22 tonnes in March alone, the Central Bank reported on Monday.

If you had $100k to invest long term, how would you distribute it between a stock/ETF portfolio and gold?
For example:
% in long-term market investments with a 10% average annual return
% in physical gold (edit: bars/coins? How heavy?)
How would you allocate your capital? I’m just trying to figure out how much I should be keeping in gold, I know I’m probably going to get a bias here but I’m all for it.

Pulled the trigger. Needed one more Oz to round out my stack.
Wasn’t aggressively looking to buy more gold, but I’d been eyeing a few African coins for a while after a close family friend took a memorable Africa trip years ago.
Ended up grabbing one more ounce to round out the stack. The 5% back between CC rewards and Executive rewards definitely helped.
Part of the appeal for me is hopefully passing these down to my boys one day instead of just stacking purely for melt value.
Anyone else balance stacking for value vs buying pieces with personal meaning/story behind them?

1k dedicated for precious metal
Looking at having 1k ish that I can dedicate to physical precious metals and would like to.
Gold, silver, or do one of the others that's trading higher now like palladium or platinum?

Was gifted this for college graduation last week. I plan on starting a gold stack as I’ve never felt something like this in hand and it’s addicting.

State of the stack
Been a couple years since my last post so figured I’d share a pic of the new stack. Currently picking up 1/4 when the bank account allows for it.

Would you pay $1500?
Hey everyone, someone is selling a necklace on FB that I like, but the guy doesn’t know the specs of the necklace such as length, gram weight, or mm thickness. It’s allegedly 18K and to me it looks to be maybe a ~2mm from the picture and color looks spot on. I found the pendant on a jewelry site, so I feel comfortable there, but going to see if we can meet at a jeweler to check out the Franco’s authenticity. Hypothetically speaking, if it were to check out okay and were around 2mm at ~20” long, would $1,500 be a fair price to you?

Spread on Sale for Gold Bars
My local jewelry store is offering me about 50-70$ less than spot for gold bars (they don't care about which assay I have but I have only PAMP in my collection) Is that a good price? I think I can get them to agree to 60$ less than spot. I have worked with them in the past to buy jewelry so no question about their credibility just need to figure out the best sale price.
