r/Goldback

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.

You can't pay for things like taxes or for internet in gold but a surprising amount of other things are possible.

This is northern Utah County where Goldbacks started.

Unless you want to buy gold shot or something of course.

I love that he's talking about the best things to buy in a crisis, on top of mentioning Goldbacks as a great value and thing to have. Harry the Legend even talks about what a great buy it is! I love that the movement is seeing positivity.

On top of that I saw Goldback just hit 5,000 merchants! I remember when it was 2,000. Crazy!

Yep. Finally got around to it.

I guess all it took was wondering how to get all of our free Goldbacks back from r/Gold — and prove they’re worth more than just spot while we’re at it.

P.S. If you’re a dealer doing infinite-money-loop math right now... respectfully, stop. You already made buyback pricing weird enough. We'll shut this down if we get any of that. Let the regular Goldback people have this one.

Their eyes light up when I take the Goldbacks at of my wallet and show them what I mean when I say "gold". About two thirds go for it.

Got a nifty pleather-bound business card holder from Vistaprint a few years back, and 1/4’s fit perfectly!

Capacity seems to be fifty 1/4’s.

I got my first gold back when I got into collecting coins, bullions, and numismatics a couple of years ago and haven’t looked back. It’s so bad it’s now to the point where I recently started selling them just to have an excuse to have more around. I love the feeling of holding a stack and fanning them out - lol. Anyway, I just joined reddit and thought I’d share my love.

My first 20 of the Idaho series. I figured I would start with the 1/4 and work my way up. Wish me luck not spending all of my free money on the new goldbacks!!

What we know right now.

2026 is the 250th Birthday of the United States of America, so in January of this year, the DC Goldback was released. A limited run of 250,000 total and the first 2,500 had their shield colorized and then were graded. This Goldback will not be produced again. Demand was so high that sites like Defy The Grid limited them to 1 per order. For the first time, UV reactive polymer was incorporated into the front of the note making them even more sought after for the collector. This Goldback will not usually be seen in daily transactions.

Just some gold to brighten everyone's day.

Gold coins are fine for tracking the price of gold but there's a serious upside to fractional gold that is rarely acknowledged here. If anything fractionals get a lot of disrespect.

In 2020 the 1/10th oz gold coins carried sometimes over a 100% retail premium. People were buying them because they were worried about the dollar and wanted something tradable. (This is part of what got me interested in gold)

Today, I can buy those same 1/10th oz coins for very close to spot. I think it is reasonable to believe that the same demand for fractionals will come back at some point.

By owning nothing but fractional I'm guaranteed at least spot prices but I have a huge upside that full coins don't have. There's no upside for full one ounce coins over fractional and this is the best time to trade them over. No one is thinking about the next bank run.

It's also easier to liquidate fractional gold. There are fewer reporting requirements. I don't even have to sell to a dealer. I could trade the gold directly.

This is a slightly riskier play and I know you guys are going to give me shit over it but I'm even putting some more into super fractional stuff like the new 1/4 and 1/2 Goldbacks. They get a lot of unearned hate here but these Goldbacks frequently sell for like $25 over their $8 retail price. I doubt Goldback will be able to keep up with demand the next time there's a bank failure, especially for their small stuff.

Anyway, that's why I'm swapping for fractional. Figured I'd share in case this helps anyone.
