"Solid .24 Pure Gold"

I don' like beating a dead horse but, you guys talking about the gold clad coins that say copy some where on the coin, I know you'all have seen the Police Auction, I have just come across it last week. Got to looking at the stuff up for auction, and there were the clad coins, but the thing that really got me was the people that buy these gold nuggets that weigh .11 grams worth $4.47 and there bidding $21.00 dollars on, and the one that was .25 grams $10.15 and bid $96.00 on it, now if they would keep there bid below the weight price maybe could make out, But then there is the 7.95 shipping on each item, what a rip-off.

I really don't know why I'm even worring about this , except that when I see a thin likr this I just have to figure it out.. on ebay , I saw a coin I guess it was in a PCGS card marked MS61, with a 4 Pd in the upper right of the card, I think the seller took this to stand for pound, and the sales add said ( Saudi Arabia gold 4 pound for sale ) now 4 pounds of gold is around $18,928.11 the buy now was for $3,280.00, what a I thought what a deal, then I got to reading the back of the object, was marked 493.1+ Grains,Fineness 916 2/3 and below that 452.003333 GR. after figuring the grains X the price of gold is 1,226.96, then figured the 452.0333 X the price of gold and it was 1,124.79 for the item, so I don't know why I let it bother me that the seller is wanting or wishing for someone pay $2,155.21 more than it's worth? I don't get it what up with that...'O' well go figure...Tired Warror, I got to much time on my hands LOL...

I sold about 3 1/2 oz of nuggets and gold dust (assayed @ 97% pure) for over $4000 2 years ago,that was when gold was $1650 an oz you can see this on page 23 of "Aussie Gold Finds" in the detecting finds forum,did think of selling them on E-Bay so thanks for the heads up
