You should be able to get spot + 5% basic gold sovs in nearly all but the very hottest gold markets.

Do you want ASE in trade, or what are you looking for?

You guys talking doom and gloom are crazy... Do you read the news? 'USA to do $350M draw down for Ukraine,' 'USA approves $200M in weapons for Ukraine with additional draw down,' '$10B bill in US senate vote for Ukraine humanitarian assistance.' Just wait until the massive 'stimulus' bills for...

They might be ok in a Brit colony... that is your best bet to possibly find a buyer who will bite on numismatic aspect. Those have very high premium 50-100% to find a buyer anywhere else. USA buyers probably won't touch them since 1/4oz gold eagles have much lower markup (although some proofs...

The money/inflation thing is overrated unless you're talking longer timespans. The fact of the matter is simply that USA and most world stock markets have been great great GREAT since the COVID crash, so there just isn't a lot of interest in PMs. Why would you buy any big amount of gold when you...

What is this 'numismatic' you speak of? Dealers have never heard of it when you sell silver. They only seem to acknowledge 'premium' and 'numismatic value' when selling to you. Hmmm ...I say it all the time: it all reverts to spot. The better looking coins will sell quicker or might grab a...

Spot +7% to 15% or more premium right now in most places. In a regular market, half that premium range, or even less, is norm for sovereigns. It is sellers market for anything PM... was a major seller market a year ago, but still clearly a sellers market. I don't think I've paid over 5%...

If you want good-looking coins, buy gold. Buy 917 gold and it stays good or great looking for longer than you will just in plastic flip cases. 999 gold is fine but will scratch a bit if you don't keep it from contacting other coins. You don't even need capsules, though. For silver, there is no...

Mark me down for the "whatever they send me in 'Random Year Sovereign' mailings of sales at bullion shops" collection?

It all reverts to spot. If you want more, you need to get pretty creative marketing well and aggressively finding buyers.

To answer your question, yes. Victorias are harder to find and sell for a bit more than Georges. The better question is: who cares? Remember, they all have 0.2354 oz of gold in them. They were all in UK colony circulation, and they all have a king or queen on them. Time is money. If you want...

Machine? Bah. Get a old school sovereign balance to test your sovs and half sovs. They're only around $50 USD and worked fine for over a century... and hey, they they still do. No joke... get one. :) The 999 gold is too soft and 1oz pieces too expensive anyways. Once you start on sovs, you...

I have all of those things... we'd have to figure out premiums based on quant. You'd also have to pay (insured) shipping. PM me if interested. I know it's an older thread.

$5k per ounce gold just means that basically everything would cost 3x what it does now (houses, cars, food, etc). Gold just keeps pace with inflation (not day-to-day, but over years/decades). That is all. It goes steadily up, barely ever down... and not down for long. As Rickard always says...
