Great pre-'33 Ed. My last gold purchase, well other then a 1/2 oz commemorative, was a AU ST. Gaudens last Nov. for $3,900 which are now going for about $5,130 so I have no complaints. The 1/2 oz gold was a spot price flash sale at $2,039 last Nov. . Again no complaints.
A few weeks ago I bought 5 BU 2024 Perth Lunar Dragons in capsules because, well, because they looked so darn cool.
Bought a 1843 Seated Liberty Silver Dollar $1 Coin PCGS VF for $429 because, again, I always wanted one and they look so darn kool. Bought 3 1oz gold Krugerrands in the 2nd half of 2025, a 1oz gold American Eagle, and a 2026 1oz gold Britannia all for the $3,400 range or less. Bought a 1885 CC Morgan in MS65 for about $1,300. My last 10 oz silver
RCM went for $527.
But last Oct. I started concentrating on silver
ASE's. I read the market and decided I wanted the most liquid metal I could get so I started buying 10's of 1 oz
ASE's for the $61 each and just followed them up, making my purchases smaller and smaller. Sorry but I passed on $115 an oz silver.
Now a few months later I'm passing on the gold since I dont have the cash for it. Dont get me wrong, if I had the cash I'd be swimming in gold but I dont. And the
ASE, tho a nice coin, is not my favorite but you can't beat them for their liquidity so Ive been picking off a few at a time.
I had a good 2025 making just a few mistakes and now just holding down the fort. I did buy some high premium artsy Germania coins just because they are so kool.
Perth Mint artsy's too. Can't help it and the old Lady loves 'em too.
