Let's have a contest, Lokmar!

Actually, this was an auction.

But I could tell the auctioneer was pissed off by the price realized.

He probably thought they should sell for a lot more cuz they sell for something like $100-300 each online.

Maybe he wanted 'em for himself.

Its all about which is more liquid in a SHTF situation, josephine. Now if the world DOESNT go off the rails, you'll be fine. However, I'd still suggest you invest more in coins that are more easily moved. Anything rare will only be worth its gold content.

Possibly true.

Only means the person holding them has ta hold on to 'em longer to wait for the price to recover, eh?

But a person can't go wrong with 1 oz silver rounds.

Canadian maple leafs...even you Yanks like 'em.

I know this for a fact - the biggest buyers of common and rare Canadian silver coins are Americans.

On this continent, either Maple Leafs or American Eagles are good. I got a better deal on the American Eagles. The Maple Leafs are $1 more per coin locally. Not worth it IMO. I'd say in a SHTF situation, Cucknadians would be better off with Cucknadian Silver and Americans with American Silver.

I've heard the American coins are the most counterfeited, eh?

Especially the supposedly late 19th or early 20th century issues.

Even recent stuff.

I think most of the countefeiting originates from China, but others from Eastern Europe too.

That's probably why you guys like the Maple Leafs cuz they have alot more anti-counterfeit features built in.

Dont buy from ebay and no problemo. The chank fakes are well known. Buying from a local coin dealer or bullion dealer like SD Bullion insulates you from scams. Still, I'm not opposed to buying some cucknadian silver....other than that cunt charles being on it.

Yeah I buy NGC cases, but usu before I do, I scour the damn things from images taken from the NGC website eh? Sometimes I saw some NGC cases on eBay but I didn't buy cuz I thought the cases looked fake and when I looked them up online there were no matching images to verify if they were real or not.

Gold bullion fakes must be hard ta spot now.

I've started to buy only Gold issues at near face value inside boxes and with serial numbers and official mint issues and certifications on 'em.

...no 673/1000, etc.

so it may actually be worth the xtra premium just to know yer gettin' somethin' real and not fake, eh?

Methinx gold bullion must be under heavy pressure from the counterfeiters.

I knew an Italian-American in Silicon Valley when I lived there in the 90s.

And he told me he worked in the hitech industry and became a general contractor after he retired. And he said he made way more money in retirement in this endeavour as opposed to his job as an executive in Silicon Valley. And he must've done extremely well indeed since he was flipping houses in the Bay Area which have appreciated by 10, 20x what he paid for them.

so that man, who's probably dead by now, made an impression upon me.

I learned something by his example, Lokmar.

Which is...don't sit around.

I also remember this tall Black Man who I'd see on the train going from San Jose up to Frisco. I'd seem him all the time in construction clothes. And he was always standing up and his head nearly touched the ceiling of the train. He was like 7' tall in his 70s and still working. apparently he was in high demand because he could reach the ceiling holding up the drywall as they hammered it into the ceiling. Probably didn't have much of an education, but he had a purpose in life and he enjoyed what he was doing.

He's probably passed away by now too.

But he also left an impression upon me as well.

Again, don't sit around doin' nothin if ya can help it.

This is my second marriage too. My first wife was a redneck just like me. We got along great. But, there was no spark in the sack. My wife now is Mongolian with some Russian and Chinese ancestry. She is highly educated, she has refined manners and finds me crude at times. But Jesus is she wild in the sack.

I have no frustrations, Senile Joe, you retarded sack of shit.

When I see someone acting like a complete fucktard, I do not keep it to myself.  I let them know what I am thinking.

That is how I avoid frustration.

You idiot.

I was looking at the market today and remembered several years ago, I think in 2018 or 2019, josephine swore that the market was gonna crash into oblivion. Meanwhile, I insisted that it should be at 33K just to equalize with all the money pumped into the system. The dumb fuck wouldnt listen tho. Of course the market went passed 30K as I told him. I also told the dumb cunt that Dow 40 something-K would reflect all the money printed in 2021 and 2022. Looking today, we're at 38K and 40K is now in sight.

Gold will see 3K within a few years the way things are going.

This is all simple math but there is a real danger. The market has a hard time equalizing to reflect the impact of money printing. It lags a few years, IMO for emotional reasons. For example, people just cant accept that $20/hr minimum wage aint jack shit in a devalued currency. Its impossible for most to accept that their $150K/yr is really more like making $75K 10 years ago. Its even harder to accept that the same $150K/yr has been devalued to about $105K/yr buying power since 2020.

Eventually, the jig is gonna be up tho. The system will collapse like zimbabwes because the lag time between money printing to market equalization is getting longer and longer. Just as bad, silver and gold are artificially being kept low. Now I'm not saying everyone should convert all their cash into gold and silver, but it would be very prudent to convert a fair amount of it. Oh, and those retarded collector coins josephine is buying is straight up mental retardation in an economy teetering on implosion. I'm getting rid of any fucking coin thats above junk status and converting to bullion.

I buy both bullion and collector coins, Lokmar.

bullion - silver, gold and platinum.
collector - mostly gold, but coins that are worth close to their face value. That way as you say if SHTF, the coins will still be worth something. Compared to silver collector coins, gold is a much better deal. Not only are the mintages lower, the condition is usu better and the prices are better. You get more for your money than silver collector coins. For some reason, the prices on silver collector coins are often higher but the metal content is worth way less than gold. So on collector silver, yer just buyin an imaginary rather than a real value.

I buy some silver antique collector coins, but only at very high grades and those which are desirable in case they need to be resold. I've noticed collectors generally lose interest if it's anything below MS-60. That's why it's advisable to avoid low grade coins, USA, Canadian, World whateva.

I still think Platinum is a sleeper metal which one day could go up. 10-15 x rarer than gold yet 1/2 the price.

Look dummy, Platinum is 100% WORTHLESS in a SHTF situation.

Quote from: Lokmar on January 31, 2024, 01:02:54 AMLook dummy, Platinum is 100% WORTHLESS in a SHTF situation.

I own some Platinum Lokmar.

Not much, just a few pieces.

All Canadian, 99.5% pure Platinum.
It's considered bullion, so they don't tax it.

But if anything is 90% silver, gold or platinum it gets taxed.

Even 92% content.

But if a person buys 99% or higher silver, gold or platinum it doesn't get taxed in Canada.

...even if it's high end collector case with a sheeny shiny proof finish, with a serial number eh?

Do you have a similar arrangement in the States, Lokmar?

Quote from: Lokmar on January 31, 2024, 01:02:54 AMLook dummy, Platinum is 100% WORTHLESS in a SHTF situation.

One thing I know Lokmar is that if people had bought some gold, silver and possibly platinum prior to the Great Depression, they might have staved off bankruptcy & extremely hard times that were to follow the 1929 stock market crash. I think back then gold was something like $30-35 per ounce? so if they'd taken some of their winnings from the stock market offa te table and bought like 100 ounces back then for $3500, they'd have been in better shape even if they lost it all in the stock market. At least they would have ended up with something.

But a lotta those paper millionaires back then put everything inta the stock market. And when the stock market fell something like 90% or more, gold held its value and even rose a bit. This was a bonus when deflation set in during the Depression, because those who held it could cash it in & get even more purchasing power. something like 30% more?

What I see now is people are still piling inta the stock market at which you referred to in your previous post as 'real danger'. Heck, when advertising from investment companies and brokers refer to 'an uncertain market' or subpar market conditions, then it must be and should serve as warning to those who still want to jump feet first inta the markets.

Like you said before, while I don't think people should throw everything into precious metals, a bit aside - maybe 10% might be prudent?

Even the big guns like Ray Dalio and Warren Buffet hold them and have advised their clients likewise to do the same.

Even the big guns like Ray Dalio and Warren Buffet hold them and have advised their clients likewise to do the same.

Gold was $35/oz up to around 1970.

QuoteJust as bad, silver and gold are artificially being kept low.

Quote from: Lokmar on January 31, 2024, 06:51:09 PMGold was $35/oz up to around 1970.

Actually, you make some interesting comments Lokmar.

I looked it up and prior to the Great Depression, Gold was only 20.74 per ounce. This is a similar value today, adjust for inflation.

https://onlygold.com/gold-prices/historical-gold-prices/

If our currencies have lost 90% or more of their purchasing power, than this is reflected in the price of gold today which is about $2075. So gold is approximately the price it was in the 1920s adjust for inflation. Factoring in 100 x that of the price around 100 years ago and that would suggest that Gold might reach $3000 or more as you've indicated.

When hard times hit during the Great Depression, rather than falling in price/value, gold actually shot up and reached the $35 plateau that you mentioned and stayed that way til about 1970. As I indicated before, anyone holding gold back then would have seen their purchasing power double if you factor in the subsequent deflation/fall in prices during the 1930s.

so...if you held 100 ounces in 1928 before the Crash, it was worth almost twice as much 10 years later in 1938 and it bought more compared with ten years earlier.

Now...I'm not suggesting that history will necessarily repeat itself. But given the amount of debt in the system and trying to cover it, gold should rise substantially in value in the next ten years. Particularly if another economic crisis hits. This mirrors the situation in 1928 prior to the crash when paper assets actually had some value and the Powers that Be back appeared to suppress the price of gold at about $20.  And there was inflation during the 1920s as well. This is similar to what you've point it where it's stuck at about $2000 today.

so if history repeats itself and we fall hard times, it would suggest that gold should go up like it did during the Great Depression.

Feel free to agree/disagree or poke holes in my analysis. It's just my laymen's knock on wood perception.

Anyways, here's a pretty good/insightful article from the Cato Institute about economic cycles/depression and their effect/impact on gold price:

(https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/styles/pubs_2x/public/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Hu_Gold_Fig3.png?itok=sHezsPf5)

Worth a read.

I briefly skimmed through the article and there is an historical reference to someone who prophesized an economic depression/meltdown in 1928 just prior to the Stock market crash of 1929.

"Contemporary economists Ralph Hawtrey, Charles Rist, and Gustav Cassel warned throughout the 1920s that substantial deflation, in terms of gold and therefore the dollar, would be required to sustain a return to anything like the 1914 gold standard.[1]  In 1928, Cassel actually predicted that a global depression was imminent."

This is similar to those warning about a similar collapse in the imminenet future this decade.


so this may provide clues or parallels for what may unfold in the coming years for the rest of this decade leading up to the year 2030

The ONLY thing to know about the depression and the price of gold is the government confiscated  all that wasnt lost when the banks closed their doors for $25/oz, and raised the price $10 to $35/oz. It was a pure tax on gold of about 29%. Yes, the government instantly created nearly 30% more free money instantly out of thin air. You also have to consider that the federal collectors most likely wound up with the gold from my great grandparents safety deposit boxes for free OR the bankers sold it to the feds for $25/oz and kept all the money.

At any rate, my great grandparents recouped zero dollars from either their personal bank accounts or their safety deposit boxes. My Great Grandfather never kept money in a bank again. He died in 1956.

It depends on how bad you think things will get. If you think it will be a repeat of 2008, sure. If you think it will be a repeat of 1933, silver is best and for US Citizens, FOREIGN bullion if you want to add gold. It needs to be untraceable.

Yep. The US citizens back then should have revolted and assassinated FDR. As far as I know tho, many citizens told the US government to GFY and they hid their bullion.

I watched something years ago where someone uncovered gold wrapped up and tossed down a well. The IRSshowed up to collect their 30% tax.

They should have kept their fucking mouths shut and sold it out of the country or in small amounts over several years.

Actually I don't claim there'll be a depression Lokmar. But that Jim Rogers does.

I just think a person should invest/ prepare or put money aside for multiple outcomes since nobody seems to know where the economy is headed - Sunny side up, no change or downhill. All the 'experts' have differing opinions and none seem to agree with one another. Just that there'll be a lot more uncertainty.

Be invested or prepared for multiple possibilities, different doors/paths that you can choose or enter and walk through. Just don't walk inta the one with the trap door where there's no escape like 1929, eh?

And if the SHTF as you suggest it will, then be prepared for that possibility.

And then there was an attempted cout de tat of the Roosevelt Administration supported in part by George Bush's Grandfather Prescott Bush.

Boasting like a 1%er for which Florida is out of your reach.

What you could sell your Ontario house for would get you part of a driveway in Vancouver. Not the garage tho, as it'd cost you another million Prowler.

That's how much a driveway is worth in Vancouver & the elite real estate in the better parts of America.

My house is worth about $1.2 million in the current market.

That would get me a nice house in New Brunswick and a nice house in Florida and I would still have a few hundred thousand left over.

It is something that we have been considering, but we really have so many close ties to where we live that we have decided to stay here.

With friends, family, baseball, hockey, the Humane Society, etc. etc. we would be giving up too much if we moved.

I do not care about Vancouver.  I hear you complain about it all the time, Senile Joe.  You miserable loser!!!

Actually Lokmar I think commodities will be the place to invest over the next decade.

One big reason is there's not enough of them to meet world demand. And that includes silver I should think since it is also an industrial metal not just for coins and jewelry. Copper seems good too. Lithium as well. Also the supply of platinum is uncertain and a large number of these elements reside in nations where the political situation is uncertain or else they have somewhat frosty relations with the US.

And it isn't just the political relations between China and the US that are on edge. It's their fight or competition for the remaining supply of the most coveted natural resources.

A battleground for these resources is places like South America which is rich in lithium and copper. China really wants to make inroads there and take over to feed their industrial machine.

I already have some silver bullion Lokmar. 25 ounces of it & another 40-50 of collector silver which I bought way back when. I might get another 75 of bullion & 50 of collector type.

Cap it at 100 oz. Of bullion

I generally don't buy too much silver because it is much more volatile than gold and doesn't retain its value as well  silver can really plummet in price.

So no 500 oz/piece 'Monster packs' of silver eagles for me like I often see advertised in your country. I never see anything like that advertised in Canada. Tho popular, US coins tend to be an outlier in Canada. More a novelty here.

Actually I'd like to get some of your more oddball items such as 3 cent/5 cent silver. Large copper cents the size of Kennedy half dollars. $2.50, $5,$10, $20 Gold coins. Hawaiin half dollars.  Confederate restrikes. Those are quite interesting because they aren't made anymore and likely never will be ever again.

There was money or tokens for the slaves so they could buy and trade things.

So ya even had segregated currency in America at one time...Lokmar!

However, incredulously, the auction house I bought it from asked me if I wanted to sell it back to 'em.

Apparently, the Thor franchise is still goin' strong and Marvel is set to release its 5th movie of the Mighty Thor.

Still, People will actually pay that much money for an item made on the cheapest newsprint of its time that used to sell for 12 cents at the newstand. Actually I can't believe it. Yet If I'm a sucker than there's even bigger suckers than me who'll pay more.

so, while admittedly I spend money on foolish buys, at least I can find a buyer for 'em.

Not sure if I'm gonna hang onto it. Fo sho it was a foolish buy, but at least I can sell it back for the price or more than I paid for it.

I call that an example of  - "don't buy what ya can't resell."

Or in other words, ifya pay big money for things, make sure ya get big money back.

Apparently, the Thor franchise is still goin' strong and Marvel is set to release its 5th movie of the Mighty Thor.

Still, People will actually pay that much money for an item made on the cheapest newsprint of its time that used to sell for 12 cents at the newstand. Actually I can't believe it. Yet If I'm a sucker than there's even bigger suckers than me who'll pay more.

so, while admittedly I spend money on foolish buys, at least I can find a buyer for 'em.

Not sure if I'm gonna hang onto it. Fo sho it was a foolish buy, but at least I can sell it back for the price or more than I paid for it.

I call that an example of  - "don't buy what ya can't resell."

Or in other words, ifya pay big money for things, make sure ya get big money back.

Cover yer B-hind, eh.

I can afford to buy things for pleasure, Senile Joe, and not care if I get any money back for them.

And since you seem to care about what other people think, like the way you care about Oerdin's opinion....

Most people buy things for pleasure, Senile Joe, and do not care if they get any money back for them.

You miserable tightwad.

Senile Joe talks and talks, but the real way to invest in lithium is to buy shares of mining companies.

He would fuckin' blow a gasket if he know how much stock I have in Rio Tinto.

Quote from: JOE on February 03, 2024, 10:46:43 PMActually I think most of the supply comes from Chile and Argentina, caskur.

But I'm sure Australia has its fair sure and makes up a good portion of it.

Australia's production number is the largest, Senile Joe.

Tho I've chauffeured some very wealthy and influential people in the world, in all honesty I don't like cars much Prowler.

I could buy your car but it'd be a true waste of money.

Could I re-sell it for the price I paid? Probably not.

You spend $100,000 on a car then come to resell it, get only $50,000 back for it at most. Maybe just $30,000. That's a huge amount of money down the drain imho

But each according to his own they say.

I've spent a lotta money on collectibles and gold through the years that I could re-sell back for at least $100,000 USD Lokmar.

Some of it really appreciated in value. Worth 10x more than I paid for them.

I generally don't spend/spluge on things which can't be re-sold later for at least break even.

The stuff I own is very saleable and could be sold for at least the amount I paid for them. I try to stay away from things that depreciate.

I buy collectibles & junk, but I also buy gold too. Probably 5 x as much gold than collectibles. Actually I might have too much gold.

Gold can always be sold and is redeemable for cash, Lokmar.

I bought 2 of these recently Lokmar:

(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/-roAAOSwY05kSVlF/s-l1600.jpg)

Paid over $3000 US each. A bit over $6,000 for 2.

Close to 1.5 ounces of gold in each set.

Mintage was only 750. So I own 1/375th of the production for that year, eh?

I could buy more sets if I want as I know where to get em.

Good value, because they sell in canada for close to face value.

And the government doesn't tax them here because at 99.99% they're considered pure gold, eh.

thing is, they actually sell for $5000 US in your country.
and I'm not sure if they tax gold bullion in the US or not.

Here's a set listed on eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/404262450174?hash=item5e1feb73fe:g:-roAAOSwY05kSVlF

You 'mericans jes love our coins and our gold...Lokmar!

At very least I could sell it to you guys, Bud.

Like I said, don't buy em fi ya can't sell em for what ya paid for em.

Like Prowler's car or your bullets, eh?

Senile JOEJ, you idiot, did you miss the words "Or best offer"?

They are asking $5,000.  It does not mean they will get it.

When you look at Ebay, you should be looking at "Sold" items to get an idea of what they will sell for, not unsold items.

That whole set is 1.44 ounces of gold.

Here is the $50 coin that is 1 ounce that was sold for $2105:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/276285208171?hash=item4053e1b66b:g:UBkAAOSwenxlpKiD&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4N0Wny9uaPikff9osrCiHH1ryK8DzZjOS0m48mBHdrfmoKiDb2Gvv8C8oqEosnUUTqFhhj8LPnqAnMEeMTPhNY5ML4obkiiz398i3yyZRifU7xnpVBdHTZSTUooi10HDu3%2FDGgeRad7Y8f%2FFmDtED8OjUQCtQbsT3nIb3x5NMcIjGY3jKxI3snDUSafhtwHi0WYfiGLDNa7jBmHlc9iuGK%2BOlRLLnDkYY1pXuEWIdZErpi9AAoEyZnQCMdEr4Xxm7IWLHFOtibCRAYDSPwG9gn7RIspWB4dXYq2pn1kcZXjP%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8iu17GuYw

So if 1 ounce is selling for $2105, 1.44 ounces should sell for $3,031.

So, Senile JOEJ, tell me again about what a good deal you got....

Senile Joe is a useless sack of shit.

He wastes his opportunity for a good life by constantly worrying about finances.

It is pathetic.

Even all the stupid shit that he buys.  He does not do it because he gets any meaningful amounts of pleasure.  He does it because he is hoping to "at least break even".

Fuck, I bought a pickleball set (a net, 4 paddles, and 10 balls) a few weeks ago for under $100 and I bet I have had more fun using that in the last few weeks than Senile Joe has had in years.  It is not about how much stuff costs.  It is about enjoying your life.

Some things cost a little.  Some things cost a lot.  Who cares?  If you can afford it and it brings you pleasure, buy it.

Have you heard the term "Bump on a log"?  That is Senile Joe.  He is just a waste of oxygen.

None of Joe's stories about his life actually happened. He gets caught in his own lies all the time. A prime example was withdrawing $60K from a savings account. :crazy:

He wants attention. I try to avoid posting in his self indulgent threads. Sometimes they get off track and become interesting, but otherwise, I stay away from them.

Actually I own that coin, Prowler.

Mine's from 1985.

They're small in diameter and very thick 'n heavy.

Maybe the width of a US Kennedy half dollar?

They weigh like a miniature gold brick.

Nice coins and they're quite popular those early Maple Leafs.

Maybe people like 'em cuz Queen E looks like a 'Beauty Queen' in 'em, eh?

Seriously.

Many people my age aren't so fortunate tho.
I good chunk of them already have health problems and have no choice but to retire.

Not me.

God, I feel and look like a young man.
Even a pretty teenage girl remarked the other day that I look 34 Max.
I just asked her cuz I wanted to know how I look to the younger crowd.
Truth be known, I'm old enough ta be her Grandfather.
I'm certainly old enough ta be Dovey's Dad.

It's a good sign if a younger person actually thinks I look closer to their age and not my actual age. lol.

Guess I got lucky in the gene pool, eh.
Full head of dark lush hair.
Nice taut skin. Not at all wrinkled.
So I get away with bein' mistaken fer bein' young.

Almost feels like I could live forever, Prowler.

'Digital Nomad' - google it an' lookit up Prowler.

that's what I think I'm gonna do.

Work while yer travellin', eh?

Make money while I'm havin' fun.

Unfortunately, Jo Jo's father wasn't in the picture. The lack of a positive adult male role model stunted normal development. He never matured beyond adolescence. It is sad and I pity that he lacked direction when he needed it most.

Besides being his lover, I am also a father figure to Jo Jo.

Y'know Prowler, When you talk about yer retired life, if I sat around like that I'd get old and stodgy very fast, I'm afraid.

I'd actually rather do something constructive, like start a small, low risk business. Not even for profit, just even a hobby business.
Learn something. Be useful.

I'm gonna try to find something interesting to do
Maybe learn a a trade, like carpentry or woodworking.
I always wanted to do that.

Now...I'm not putting down your choice of retired life.
It is your life and it's a free country.

But I wouldn't be happy or content in that capacity.
Since retirement is closeby I'm starting to think what I might do after I retire.

Doing nothing or playing pickleball aint my kinda thang tho.
It seems very sendentary.
Frankly, I would be bored silly.

However, there is no standard definition of retirement, no right or wrong.

Canada the first and the bestest, eh?

Ya gotta lotta catchin' u ta do...Eagles 'n all!

Nope. Wrong, josephine. In America, the Silver Eagle  costs an extra $1.50 or more to buy a Silver Eagle over the cucknadian maple.

For those of you who would buy coins, let me state the obvious:
josephine is a fukin idiot, dont listen to ANYTHING he says.

First off, if YOUR country mints a high quality silver or gold coin and you want something universally liquid in a SHTF situation, buy those coins.

If you want something that is liquid and easy to move in a number of countries, buy either Silver Eagles or Cucknadian Maples. Newer than 2013/2014 Cucknadian coins have some added security features that are easily recognizable to the layperson. The American Eagle has security features as well but IMO, the Maple is better.

THE ONLY reason to buy a Mexican Libertad is as a collector coin. Right now, the Mexican silver coins carry a $10 OVER spot price. Yea, thats fukin insane! No thanks! Now if you think their collector value will increase buy and keep some PROPERLY! Be warned tho, when SHTF, they are worth 25% less than what you paid.

Finally, josephine is a clown idiot!

Fake as fuk Cucknadian coins for good ol josephine! PWN3D!

actually Lokmar, I saw a listing on eBay which I questioned as being genuine.

It's a 1918 CANDA gold sovereign in an NGC case.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/201530272488

I was interested in buying it but then caution set in.

so I decided to research it.

Turns out, I found no photo(s) on the NGC website that matched the serial number.

There was also no record of that kind of case ever made by NGC.

I haven't ever seen a case with a back like that with multicolored looking LGBT stripes:

(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/oQMAAOSw7yxfwKqY/s-l1600.jpg)

Plus the gold is suspect. Almost looks like gold lacquered paint finish.
It's too dull.

(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/X50AAMXQPd1RHEnt/s-l140.jpg)(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/wTQAAMXQPd1RHFPN/s-l140.jpg)

Gold, even high grade, usually has scratches, scuffs or marks on it.
Gold seems to scratch very easily, even more so than silver.

Now....I don't know if my assumptions are correct.
Maybe I'm wrong.

But it seemed to good to be true.

What do you think?

This is what the NGC website has for coin cases which most closely match the one featured on eBay:

(https://www.ngccoin.com/resources/images/grading/thirty-years/evolution/2008.png)

...the backing is metalic silver.
Not opaque.

or this one:

(https://www.ngccoin.com/resources/images/grading/thirty-years/evolution/2001.png)

Again, the back decal is metalic.

There's a lotta fakes out there.

I've been burned a couple of times on collectibles, but not Not coins...at least not yet.

A lotta people have been scammed tho.

Quote from: TheProwler on February 04, 2024, 03:04:18 AMSenile JOEJ, you idiot, did you miss the words "Or best offer"?

They are asking $5,000.  It does not mean they will get it.

When you look at Ebay, you should be looking at "Sold" items to get an idea of what they will sell for, not unsold items.

That whole set is 1.44 ounces of gold.

Here is the $50 coin that is 1 ounce that was sold for $2105:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/276285208171?hash=item4053e1b66b:g:UBkAAOSwenxlpKiD&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4N0Wny9uaPikff9osrCiHH1ryK8DzZjOS0m48mBHdrfmoKiDb2Gvv8C8oqEosnUUTqFhhj8LPnqAnMEeMTPhNY5ML4obkiiz398i3yyZRifU7xnpVBdHTZSTUooi10HDu3%2FDGgeRad7Y8f%2FFmDtED8OjUQCtQbsT3nIb3x5NMcIjGY3jKxI3snDUSafhtwHi0WYfiGLDNa7jBmHlc9iuGK%2BOlRLLnDkYY1pXuEWIdZErpi9AAoEyZnQCMdEr4Xxm7IWLHFOtibCRAYDSPwG9gn7RIspWB4dXYq2pn1kcZXjP%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8iu17GuYw

So if 1 ounce is selling for $2105, 1.44 ounces should sell for $3,031.

So, Senile JOEJ, tell me again about what a good deal you got....

Hahahahaha!!!!

Actually Prowler I reviewed the specifics of that 5 coin set.

According to the specs provided to me by the Royal Canadian mint COA, the actual weight of the coins is 44.929 grams which is 1.44234 troy ounces.

1 oz - 31.15 g
.25 oz - 7.797 g
.10 oz 3.131 g
.05 oz 1.581 g
.0375 oz 1.270 g

Total weight is 44.929 g, or rounded off 45 g or 1.4423434992 troy ounces.

That comes out to about $4100-4160 Canadian worth of Gold depending who you buy it from a current gold prices.

Gold bullion with 99% content is not taxed in Canada.

I spent about $4200 but unlike the example you cited, I didn't pay postage/handling/taxes/duties - which might be incurred on an eBay order like that.

I admit, I paid a slight premium on the Gold, because it came in a special case and it is high quality polished PROOF or mirror surface gold with protective plastic holders. That is the highest quality gold you can possibly buy anywhere for coins in the world. I think the numerical equivalent is MS-70 PF and it's 99.99% pure gold. Elite gold among gold. Altho Bullion has the same metal content, it might rate at MS-63 or MS-64 when graded.

I realized that I paid just a bit more over the typical bullion price, but that is also lower grade finish, does not come in a case, nor does it have a COA or Certificate of Authenticity. This can be an issue when verifying the authenticty of such coins as I had discussed with Lokmar. Bullion coins are typically minted in the hundreds of thousands or millions making it more difficult to authenticate them. and as Lokmar pointed out, counterfeiting is a problem, even with Canadian maple leaf coins, which have some of the highest anti-counterfeiting measures in the world. Some bullion pieces might slip through the cracks.

However, when there is a COA, the coins are much easier to verify and trace. If the COA states 399/750 or 125/750 then you know that those coins belong specifically to that set and numerical sequence.

I bring up because I remember when I bought this set, I carefully calculated the amount of gold by weight to see if it was worth buying.

There is another benefit to this set is its rarity. 750 copies is an extremely low mintage and would be considered 'RARE'. Therefore it has potential to rise in value as the sets are broken up.

So yes, I paid a bit more than the gold value - say about $100 Canadian?
Plus I had the coins assayed for authenticy and gold content on a $30,000 electronic device.

But you know the saying - Ya get what ya paid for.

You don't think I thought this out before buying the coins, but I did.
And it was way less than what the sellers were asking on eBay,

this popular US Buillion dealer has them listed at $3795 USD

https://www.apmex.com/product/67494/2012-canada-5-coin-gold-1-million-coin-5th-anniv-gml-proof-set

which is over $5100 Canadian. And that doesn't include postage, handling.
Compared that to the $4200 I paid.

So I came to the conclusion that the place where I purchased them from - this set was the best deal they had in terms of weight, value and quality.

At very least I could re-sell this item for close to what I paid for it - the gold content.
Same time, it might fetch $5000 Canadian or more which translates into a slight profit.

so I'm just providing my rationale for this purchase.

Pick it apart if ya want, but I usu think these things out carefully before I buy them.

The united states absolutely refuses to take advantage of its resources. While i dont want the whole thing strip mined, it makes me mad that we dont better our own lives through mining more gold, silver, and copper. Instead, we import most from countries that treat their workers like disposable trash and pollute indiscriminately.

Different strokes fer different folks, Prowler!

As fer myself, I've decided ta keep working AFTER I retire
Jus part time tho

If you decided to outright retire and can afford it, all the power to you. Nothing wrong with that, Prowler.

While I can afford to retire in the near future, and sit around like that, I'd prefer not to actually. As they say, a rolling stone gathers no moss. Well mud doesn't stick to moving wheel either I guess. lol.

Your rant, and rants of all these retirees have made me realize I'd jes' be bored silly nothing all day Prowler. Like I say, I don't condemn that. If you like doing nothing or playing in the sandbox like a pre-school child AND can afford it, all the power to ya.

But it's just not for me.

I'm probably gonna learn a trade or 2 and start a low risk small biz, do some side hustles just ta keep active, eh.

PLUS - you never know when the good times are gonna end, Prowler.
Our generation takes way too much for granted.
Our prosperity is the result of our parents/grandparents sacrifices and HARD WORK. They never knew the luxuries, vacations or free time that we enjoy today. My grandparents/parents lived through Wars, Depressions, deaths in the family, etc etc. and they lived to tell me about it. However, one of my grandparents didn't and he died prematurely in a field who worked as a farmer. I never met him as he was just 55 when he died. The boys in the family, including my Dad, had to step up and become the providers overnight.

Likewise someone like DKG came from a country which was blown apart by a Civil War. I believe Korea was just flattened during the Korean War and his grandparents or parents experienced extreme hardship and had to work very hard to build that country up again so that today's Korean youth could enjoy the prosperity they created & the older folk never could hope to experience.

Altho I didn't experience their hardships, they gave me the awareness how far we've gone in such a short time.

At the same time, they made me aware that our current prosperity which we owe to them - and take for granted -is rather tenuous as well. It could disappear as fast as it materialized.

The old conservative adage/saying "No one owes you a living."

Well, they don't us a retirement either.

You waste your money how you want, josephine. Maybe when you come to your senses, you'll quit buying those collector coins.


But hey, since you like gambling, maybe buy a few coins with King Charles on em. After all, he's gonna have a shorter run than his mom and he might just have to step aside if his cancer treatment doesnt go as planned. That means those coins will be low production.

Quote from: Lokmar on February 07, 2024, 09:44:53 PMHey josephine, I bought some 2023 king Chuck coins this week. Wanna buy em when they're collectable?  :popcorn:

I already own quite a bit of silver, Lokmar.

Here's something I own that you might be interested in getting:

This the 1966 Canada prooflike set:

(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/9DgAAOSwtuBlptq1/s-l1600.jpg)

Over 1.25 ounces of pure silver in every set...Lokmar.

Not too expensive either, affordably priced for the bullion hoarder and collector alike.

Perfect condition of the highest grade & quality strike.

They wouldn't ever make those again because they'd be too expensive to produce, eh? Probably cost 4x as much as they're selling for at current market prices.

As good or better than the best the USA mints have ever produced.

You 'mericans love those too, Bud.

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

Worthless trash! I'd sooner buy silver bars, josephine! Hell, even the Mexican Libertad is a better buy!

Next week, I'll get more Silver Eagles. I'll prolly get a few 2024 King Chuck Brit coins too if they have them in stock. 2024 King Chuck Maples might be a good buy too just to have a few.

I also bought 200 rounds of 10mm hollow points, josephine and I probably have well over 500 lbs of ammo now. Can you even have that much in Cucknadia? FUK NO YOU CANT! I bet your gay black faced PM would have your dumb ass rounded up and confiscate all your shit if you were caught with my ammo stash.

British sovereigns are the most likely a be counterfeited...Lokmar!

They've been doing it for at least 100 years & there are sovereign factories in India and Asia. Probably generations of families over there spitting em out eh?

There are so many fake sovereigns that ya'd probably only wanna buy them in an NGC case. A modern case that is x rayed verified and microscpedly photographed...Lokmar! Then ya gotta match em with the NGC photos, check every ding n dent eh?

I've bought a few Ngc grades sovereigns.

Good chance if they're bought outside a proper case & authenticity, there's a very chance they're fake.

You dumb cunt, didnt you just say that about Silver Eagles the other day? And quit talking about those worthless collector coins!

Not only do the new British Sovereigns have the laser etching like the new Maple, the stamping produces an alternating pattern on the back side of the coin. There's also micro printing that the Maple doesn have.

STILL, the king of bullion coins is the Silver Eagle.

Well, maybe there's hope for you after all! Those collector coins a a fools errand!

Canadian gold sovereigns are the rarest & have the lowest mintages of those ever produced...Lokmar!

Go check this link out:

https://www.svcollector.com/en/articles/gold-sovereign-and-halves-mintages.html

They were minted all around the world & Canada had the fewest. Subsequently they are among the most sought after, collectible & expensive of the bunch.

I put a low bid on a 1908 Canada gold sovereign recently with a mintage of just 636.

I gave up tho after $10,000 US.

It finally sold for $19,000 US.

I wanted it...but not that bad, eh?

Generally buy those things if there's a deal and they sell 1/2 or below their catalog value. Other wise the buyer may have a hard time unloading them if he pays too much

And in the end, those gold coins are only worth the gold in them. What a waste of money! Picture this, dumbass: SHTF situation and as you said people are leery of counterfeit shit. First off, your $5000 collector coin is gonna be worth $2K. Second, they're going to be real suspicious of that old coin.

Perhaps.

But if the SHTF  everything else ll collapse too...Lokmar!

Including her silver.

While gold plunge 25-35%, yer silver could lose 50-65%.

Reason I say this is that has been the pattern in the past.

I think 90 to 100 years ago silver was worth as little .30 cents during the Depression

But gold continued to either hold it's own or increase in value.

So if gold fell to say $1500-1600 per ounce, silver might go as low as $8-12. The impact of weak economic activity would surely depress the price of silver.

It might still buy something possibly a lot depending where you live. But I reckon it will never have the purchasing power or status that gold does.

Now while im interested in buying silver I wouldn't go crazy over it.

SD Bullion.

The state how silver went down as low as .25 cents per ounce

It reached the bottom in 1934.

As you indicate, it went back up later after it crashed quite hard.

I believe it had a huge price the 80s when the Hunt Brothers of Texas tried to corner the market but were unsuccessful and it fell quite a bit after that.

Like I said, yer welcome to invest in Silver, but I'd prefer not to in any major way. As indicated, it's extremely volatile in large part because it's also a major industrial metal, not just one for coins or jewelry. When the economy slows so does demand for silver.

Also, altho it's gotta nice sheen to it, silver is just a little too common to be considered 'rare'.

If a person's gonna invest in silver, then they may as well invest in Copper too. Copper probably has a better future than silver.

If you wanna make some gains, go long on copper.

Look josephine, how many times do I have to tell you, I buy for a SHTF situation. Neither gold nor silver move significantly enough to make any real profit in the short term. If you want to make money, invest in bitcoin. Bullion is for wealth preservation.

Your collector coins might make you a bit over the years but still, not anything major. Things people collect raise in value due to rarity and you can make money of a rare beanie baby just as you can a rare coin made from ANY material!

If fiat money ever collapses, gold and silver will be real money. Unless I'm buying big ticket items in a SHTF situation, gold is a liability. I'll be more worried about not starving to death than buying a car. This is where silver comes in. Its of a low enough value where I wont have to cut the coins up. You gonna carve your 1 oz gold coin into 10ths to buy groceries?

As far as gold vs silver rarity, look this FACT up for yourself:
gold for industrial use is in surplus every year and has been for decades
silver for industrial use is at a deficit and has been for decades
Also, look at a historical chart of the ratios of value between gold and silver. Silver has been artificially low for 20 years or more. IF this ever corrects to the historical relationship, silver will be priced at $50/oz. THAT will be an opportunity to actually make money. Those opportunities happen every few decades.

Buy silver to preserve wealth knowing you MIGHT have the opportunity to make money at some point. Patience.

I might buy silver a bit at a time.
I think that's what the experts advise you to do anyway.
Buy 5 ounces at at a dip. wait for it to go up, fall again, and buy at a dip, and so on. Just keep doing that.  Trickle Investing. Averaging your purchases.

But don't buy all at once - such as 500 oz monster packs. That's when people typically lose a lot of money. And if you say, silver might rise to $50 an ounce, you'll see a lotta people jumping on the bandwagon to buy the monster pack. But by then, it's too late, and the next cylce will set in and of couse - it'll fall again. Rise, fall. Rise, fall.

But going back to gold vs Silver.

I'd say in the scenario you envision, it's not just those commodities which could rise, but many others as well.

Copper, lithium, cobalt, wheat, oil, coffee.

Or how about Platinum? Palladium as well.

I've actually started to get interested in commodities investing.

any suggestions on how to go about it?
ETFs perhaps?

Gold, silver, bullets, gasoline, food, etc. THATS what will be important. BTW, if silver hits $18/oz monster boxes will have a run.

Actually, you raise an interesting scenario Lokmar.

However, it may not unfold like you think.

The rise in silver might not have anything to do with SHTF.

Instead it might occur when the Powers that Be try to take real money out of circulation and replace with it with a digital currency. And so those with stacks of silver might find themselves in a position with owning hard currency that is coveted and desirable.

The problem with digital currency is the lack of privacy. If everything is transacted electronically, then the government will know what you are doing, what you are spending your money on. Whether its bullets, drugs or prostitutes.

Incidentally, this is not a paranoid obsession. It has already happened in China where digital currency replaced the Paper Yuan/Remnibi. so the Chinese authorities already know what their citizens are doing all the time. Subsequently what this has led to is an increased amount of counterfeiting of other nations' currencies. Such as the US and Canadian dollar. The counterfeiters have gone to such great lengths that they are willing to make fake Canadian $2 coins made out of brass. So I suppose if criminals are dealing in drugs or smuggling their transactions can't be traced that way.

In europe, some countries have made it impossible to get money from atm's. So crime such as drug dealing plummeted, but moved to neighboring countries where there still are atm's such as Estonia. Since Swedes can't escape the Law in their own country, they go somewhere else where they can and hard currency still exists from bank machines.

So in your case, if you're buying something like bullets with digital currency, maybe the government will wanna spy on you to see what you are up to in the future. But if you buy bullets with silver coins of course they won't be able to. And people stuck i the same boat will want privacy too.

Anyways, that's just what I see coming which could precipitate a dramatic rise in silver. Less about economic catastrophe and more about privacy.

They grade, authenticate & put em in a nice case so they are easy to re sell. I think I'm gonna sell em off & recoup the costs. Hopefully I'll break even.

However I would be very reluctant to spend any money on hot wheel cars of any value simply because I don't know what the hell I'm doing. Laugh if you might but Collector Hot Wheel cars are very expensive yanno. Take a look:


You could get carried away and blow all your retirement savings on em. How does one know if they are even real? Or if they are just cheap knock offs? I wouldn't.

In that regard they are somewhat similar to real cars. Namely collector vintage cars. If a person's gonna invest in either then they'd better know what they  are doing eh?

It's irrelevant since you are flat broke and one OAS cheque away from being homeless. So, you should be nicer to your boyfriend Thiel. Nobody else would support your broke ass.

Since you always talk about Thiel maybe you oughta get together with him and go for a bangin' session, Brent. I know Herman and DKG caint get him out of their minds either. So you guys should get together for a 4 some and bang each other, eh Brent?

Make ya'll feel a lot better and release yer pent desires fer each other. Bang each other to your hearts content.

Whaddya say Brent?

I think it'd be good for ya.

That stupid cunt Senile Joe is out of money!!!


Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

Quote from: TheProwler on February 13, 2024, 10:32:52 PMYou loser.

According to the Hagerty Index, a better buy for a car of a comparable amount you spent would have been a Shelby, Prowler.

I looked it up and over time, the Shelby is worth at least 2 times as much as your Corvette or Camaro. Maybe 3.

If I were spending $100,000 on a muscle car, I'd buy the Shelby.

Some Vintage shelbys are now worth $1 million, eh.

Your car will only be worth 1/3 of a Shelby in 10 years Prowler. Maybe 1/2 at very most?

And you'll be kicking yourself (in the teeth and pockebook) and regretting it.

You'll say, "Why didn't I buy the Shelby Instead!"

Oh well, idiots like you throw their money on cars that depreciate rather than cars that APPRECIATE.

That's the difference between a smart car buyer and a dumb one, Prowler.

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

But I can re-sell my stuff and get at least 90% of what I paid for it.

In some cases 110-120% Prowler.

so in the event that I sell, can break even and get the money back.

Meanwhile your overpriced late model Corvette will continue to depreciate.

And in 10 years will be worth 1/3 the value of my collectibles.

Unlike you, I stay away from common overly mass produced items and buy only rare and popular collectible instead.

Anyway, your car will depreciate and be worth 1/2 or less what you paid for it.

As for my stuff? At least 100%. But likely 120% +.

Ya see Prowler, that is the difference between a smart buyer and a dumb one.

As for your car with the money you spent? I woulda bought a Shelby instead.

Lokmar coulda told you which is the better car.

Joe took buses and the Skytrain before he hooked up with old Thiel.

The C8 Corvette is not a muscle car, you ignorant cunt.

I can afford to spend money on things that bring me pleasure, Senile Joe.

You should have managed your finances better and you may have found yourself in the same position.

You dumb cunt.

You dumb cunt.

You spent too much Prowler.
Admit it.

The Shelby would have been a better buy.

BTW keep calling me that, because you only debase yourself further.

Da Ladies at BF are all laughin' at you  Prowler.

They're starting to think you're a mentally unstable goof, which you are.

Calling a guy a 'cunt' is the equivalent of calling a White guy a 'nigger'

If you do that repeatedly, he's gonna laugh at you.

Thiel always talks about you. He is proud of his relationship with you and you are shy.

I am not judging you. I think you made a wise decision. You are in your final years of life. Nobody wants to die broke.

SPEND THAT CASH while it's still worth something...

Items from some of the most iconic films in the history of cinema are headed to auction this week.

The auction, coordinated by Studio Auctions in Manhattan Beach, features props, costumes and production items from some of the most culturally significant films to ever grace the silver screen, as well as some beloved television series.

Items currently receiving bids include Hannibal Lecter's mask worn by Anthony Hopkins in the Oscar-winning thriller "The Silence of the Lambs," a hoverboard used by Marty McFly, aka Michael J. Fox, in the classic sequel film "Back to the Future: Part II," and an original stunt axe used by Jack Nicholson in Stanley Kubrick's iconic horror film "The Shining."

The auction is entitled "The Force Is Strong With Studio Auctions," referencing the iconic "Star Wars" franchise which is heavily represented in the auction.

Yoda's walking stick from both "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" and "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi," is currently up for grabs and an original fully animatronic R2-D2 droid from the Disney+ series "Obi-Wan Kenobi" is currently receiving bids in the six-figures. The interior of the faithful droid has been signed by the show's stars, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen, as well as director and executive producer Deborah Chow.

Thanks for the info Ollie but I don't have the room to store such treasures.

I recently bought one Hollywood type quality costume in an auction but I'll probably have to give it away because it takes up too much room.

If a person's concerned whether their money will be worth anything then buy gold or at least silver. Heckuva lot more compact and easy to store too.

The only collectable shit I bought like that were some movie props from Star Trek DS9. I spent $1000 as I remember.

Really?

That's a shit fulla shinola, Lokmar!

Ya coulda bought some gold or yer favorite...silver, Bud!

Since Vancouver has a movie industry, we see these local auctions of movie stuff often.

I paid $40 for a costume from the TV series Legends of Tomorrow.

I don't believe in paying too much for collectibles of that kind.

What's worth $1000 today could be $20 tomorrow.
