I would say I like the "brand bullion" like Engelhard. As I've collected those bars of all sizes ( 1 oz, 3oz, 5oz, 10, 20 etc) - While prices have dropped, their premium associated with the brand has remained. Maybe not as much, but not as bad as lets say generic silver 1 oz round.

On the other hand, one move I did was purchase five 2oz Zeus Silver Rounds from the Perth Mint which had a mintage of 1,500. I purchased 5 of them for an average of $290 dollars each. They all sell for over $500+ now on eBay.I don't plan on selling any of them but completing sets along the way.

Gold on the other hand ....I'll take anything that is .99999 24k.

Added a roll of 1964 Kennedy's BU, 10z Engelhard bar, 1 oz spider and 1 oz 2016 kangaroo. A proof baseball 1 oz silver and finally some raw natural Alaska gold nuggets (1/2 oz total), a quarter oz gold maple. Nothing too fancy, just some variety of all kinds...my favorite is the gold "finger pointer" - and perhaps the gold boot nugget lol.

yup7676 - question for you. I've followed your posts since you've joined day one. If the trend is down. Have you considered or have done any shorting of stocks - such as SLV?

Thank goodness I don't like it. Won't have to use money saved for real coins. Skinny Liberty with a terrible hair day and an eagle that just got kicked off a cliff.


That one made me laugh. Thanks for the input folks. Keep it coming. I'd like to get one for the collection....

This coin comes out July 30th 2015 from the US Mint. I love to collect the .9999 gold buffalo's and wanted to get forum thoughts on this particular piece.


"The 2015-W American Liberty, High Relief gold coin to be issued by the U.S. Mint will be a 1-ounce .9999 fine gold piece that will carry a face value of $100, becoming the United States' first gold coin to bear that denomination. The first U.S. coin to carry the $100 denomination is the American Eagle 1-ounce platinum coin introduced in 1997."






Side note: The coin is limited to a maximum release of 50,000 coins.

I know you mentioned Gold Coin so I would consider a Gold Maple or a Gold Panda from China.

I however also like the gold bullion 1 oz bars, and in particular, the Pamp Suisse 1 oz Gold bar. I think it has a beautiful packaging, with assay and looks 999.9 24k "clean". The Perth Mint also has some nice bars, but just another option.

Welcome to the forums and post a pic when you finally decide to get your gold coin.

Had I known folks would be interested in using the markets to sell short gold and silver in this decline, I would have offered up several easy to use set ups that I use all the time.


The ironic thing for me personally is I have had an L2 approved account for many many years (calls/puts/options). I have never used it once as I mainly had the account for long term investing. Now that I've watched the "silver show", I feel it's going to trend lower short (3-5 months minimum) until there is major news/event/situation etc that causes a positive up-trend in silver. I might as well use that short-term vision, and gain some $ while sitting on the physical bullion sideline. Again, if I would've bought puts 2 years ago, I think I would have been sitting on some $ to buy more gold/silver proofs/bullion. Part of me just hasn't jumped in fully yet.

I would rather catch the CONFIRMED wave UP on silver, than catch a falling knife on silver and hoping it is the bottom. Until then I'm saving $ and buying small PM purchases that satisfy my bullion/proof/gold/silver/Engelhard/Johnson matthey hunger.

And seriously considering puts on SLV 3-6 months.

yup7676 - I have honestly listened to your advice and believe the overall sentiment in PM's are bearish - and have been since for quite some time. This particular leg down has me considering puts on SLV - and flip it short term. Why not take advantage of that bearish trend from a puts perspective? Thoughts?

Not bad at all - I would buy the rest and try to get them @ $140. Those bars are neat and I like older bullion JM / Engelhard bars as they do command a premium on various designs - some more than others. Just ask the people who own 4 or 7 oz Engelhard bars. Congrats on your purchase and best of luck.
