I don't think you even see that many Gold plated watches anymore.

If they sell them now they are quite expensive.

Most watches today are steel or brass.

The Chain is 18k Gold tho

A Google search says otherwise.

Anyway, what's the point of a gold plated watch on a solid gold chain?

Anyways, that's enough as it's closing in on midnight.

As promised, I will sign off now

See ya'll some other time.

Ciao

Here's my final image before I sign off:



6 Vintage Gold pens that might retail for a $2000 if sold brand new.

But unless it's a speciality order, most penmakers don't make or sell Gold pens anymore as they'd be very expensive to make.

They're often $1000 each.

Quote from: JOE on Today at 12:32:27 AMHere are the 2 most Expensive Coins that I own...Lokmar:



the 1913 Canada Gold Sovereign MS62

the 1880 Newfoundland $2 Gold MS 61 formerly owned by the US billionaire Louis Eliasberg

The 2 together are worth at least $10,000 US

Maybe as much as $15,000.

Both are considered Very Rare, no more than 250 of each known to exist, eh.

50 of each known to exist in mint state.

Dude, you've got hands like a weather weary scarecrow... damn.

I have 4 ounces of Platinum.

You oughta get some Palladium Lokmar. Its spot price is lower but even rarer than Platinum. At least 15 maybe 30 times rarer than Gold.

While its mined and minted in Canada its very hard to get here at a good price.

All the good Palladium deals are in the US. Even Canadian Palladium maple Leafs, a highly sought after item.



Even tho they are minted in Canada I have yet to see one for sale here. APMEX in the States has them for sale. SD Bullion sometimes too. Trouble is in Canada, unlike other metals Palladium is not tax free. Premiums on them are very high.

Even Canada based kitco won't sell Palladium to Canadian residents at good prices but seem to reserve them for American residents.

I'd like to buy some but I can't find easily find Palladium in Canada. Maybe our mint has some for sale.

Palladium is not valued high but its generally very expensive way above spot price

Elusive- that's the word to describe Palladium

Potentially very lucrative if the price shoots up again. One time it was more expensive than gold but has since then fallen below $1000 us spot

Quote from: JOE on June 06, 2025, 04:36:54 PMI don't buy metals ta become rich. Just to avoid becoming poor...Lokmar!

The US & World Economy is in seriously precarious financial shape. Never know that Silver you buy today could be yer financial lifeline tomorrow,  eh? People may end up buying things with it just like normal currency.

US states like Florida have just recognized gold n silver as legal tender.

Could be a sign of things to come.

Quote from: Lokmar on June 06, 2025, 04:15:07 PMIts not crashing. I'm not sure on where its going yet other than platinum will be in high demand shortly.
