Title: Taking a break from the Blue Cashew
Post by: JOE on June 02, 2025, 12:40:43 AM
Had enough of this place for the time being.

Too much censorship here.
Too many rules for my appetite.

Not enough diversity of opinions. Not enough excitement like BF. Or even VF.

So by the end of the week I'll be off for me forum break.

There's not much numismatic value in that set Lokmar.

A lot of the stuff I like isn't that valuable, eh?

Looks pretty, but doesn't have much collector value

It's just worth a lot cuz of the metal.

Add $3300 for the gold + $1000 Platinum + $35 Silver = about $4350 USD at today's spot prices.

Even tho the mintage was low. Just 5,000 sets

And it's proof/mirror finish. Probably cost them more to make then what it was sold for, eh.

This was my Grandfather's Weekly wage back in 1916, Lokmar:

(https://images2.imgbox.com/e0/cd/3JreO52h_o.jpg)

$10 or so a week.

Unlike yer monied Granpa, he didn't make very much back then Lokmar

16 cents an hour, 7 days a week. 12 hours a day.

He shoveled coal inta the furances that powered the Steam engines, eh?

He could have never afford a gold coin.
But the most Gold he ever owned was a Gold watch or perhaps his wedding ring.

Therefore, I appreciate the sacrifices my Grandpa made for his family and future generations.

This is one of my favorite coins that I own Lokmar:

(https://images2.imgbox.com/f2/e2/f70fJQ9y_o.jpg)

The 1936 Canada 1 oz Gold replica coin. To the left is an actual 1936 dime.


Mintage 550.

Trouble, it's not worth very much. Despite its low mintage, it sells at or slightly above spot price only.

I paid $4199 Canadian or about $3000 USD. At the time Gold was $2500/oz, Only saving grace is the price of gold went up, so at least it's worth as much as the metal now.I might get $3300-3400 for it? Possibly $3500? But I suspect not much more than that.

That's an example of something where 'Rarity' was manufactured & isn't considered truly Rare by Numismatic standards. Hence, the 'Collector value' isn't very high. Unless the mintage is exceedingly low - like 100 or less, the numismatic value doesn't really kick in, eh?

There's a lotta examples like that. Canada Mint. US Mint. Franklin Mint, etc.

so these shiny coins in a box aren't often worth that much.

In the Coin Collecting World, something has to be really rare to be considered 'scarce' or 'rare' as a collectible. Otherwise, it's just another run of the mill product that sells for the spot price of the metal, not much more.

Anyway Lokmar, here's another example of a coin that's very popular, even with American collectors, but isn't that valuable nor expensive by collector's standards:

(https://images2.imgbox.com/54/2d/qqMqsbbp_o.jpg)

1967 Canada $20 Gold.

Mintage was somewhat high, the in the hundreds of thousands, so it would never be considered 'rare'

It was and still is largely sought after for its Gold Content and is mostly considered bullion than a collectible coin.

A common piece, but ifya wanna impress yer friends or strangers, it's a good bet.


At today's market value, maybe find one for $1700-1800 US?

Nope. Unlike everyone else, I bought metals as a short term investment, something everyone says you shouldnt do. I made 30% and cashed out. That was always the plan as I had previously said.

Silver has hit $36/oz this year as I predicted. Now Platinum is shooting up to $1200/oz ALSO as I predicted. Remember that, josephine? Am I a genius? No. I simply paid attention.

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.

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.

(https://www.mint.ca/globalassets/products/bullion/2015/132861-2015-palladium-maple-leaf-coin/132861_rev-1198.png?hash=637902851010000000&width=500&quality=80)

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.

www.mint.ca

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

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.

Probably true, but it's a Longine avatar_Frood Frood

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?
