Yeah, I jumped too soon on those. I paid 218.20 and 216.60 for the two I pre-ordered. Saw them go as low as 207 and change but I waited and they went back up. Now they have these at 212.70 too.Broke down a couple days ago and pre-ordered some IGR 10oz bars from Monument at $210.50. They are $212.70 so for once I timed it right.
Also decided I'm just going to average the Kitco bid/ask prices for my spot basis calcs.
Wow, just looked and it is below $1,700.Gold is down today but silver hasn't dropped like gold.
I just ordered another 10 gram Argor-Heraeus Gold Bar from Monument. $575.77Wow, just looked and it is below $1,700.
I jumped a little too soon (as usual) it looks like. Down even more today. Silver is finally down too.Since the spot was down, I splurged and ordered a 1/2 oz gold Eagle. Monument has gotten 3 of my last 4 orders. They ship slower but their premiums are small.
Not exactly relevant to the silver market...
There are gold flakes from glacial till...The geology of Indiana does not support gold mines, silver mines, diamond mines, or even plutonium mines.
Correct, I have a nice collection of Indiana gold, garnets, and one diamond that all came from gravels deposited by the glaciers - but there are NO legitimate mines in Indiana, and there have never been any,There are gold flakes from glacial till...
My last 10 gram gold bar should be here today. I was kind of disappointed to see prices going up because I wanted to buy more. Now kinda wish I'd bought when I first started seeing them go up, but I waited and then it became less attractive.Nice to see spot over $20 for silver, over $1,750 for gold, and the ratio around 87.5:1.
Did some trading today at a local coin shop. I had three 1/2oz Noah's Arc gold coins. Nice coins but there were in sealed plastic cases with certificates. I didn't care for that as it made them bulky to store. Ended up trading them for three 1/2oz Kruggerands and paying $25/coin over the retail value. That is online price I could buy the Kruggs for minus the price I could get the Arc coins + $75 total. Pretty fair as I got the coins I wanted, much more liquid. Also served to re-introduce myself to the shop owner.
I shopped there quite a bit when I started stacking maybe 10 years ago but it is hard to beat online prices with free shipping. I am going to try and get there maybe once a month from now on. Even if it is just a small silver purchase or fractional gold coin, it is worth getting in with a reliable local source.
