Krugerrand US Eagle Canada Maple Leaf Australia What is the nickname? If any of you are members of the Liberty Seated Collector's Club you might already know why I hunted for the Krugerrand which I got yesterday. For all of the others, here is the link: http://lsccweb.org/SilverGoldMedal.php Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 10/22/2012 5:10 pm Oh YES, the Austrian Philharmonic! I remember TV ads for those. "A rare opportunity to own ..." but you all know the drill. British Britannia? Sounds nice. Every 15 minutes or so I play with the Krugie. It spins around and makes a lovely clicking sound as it hits the table. You see, it is destined to be melted and recast as a commemorative medal. So, if it hits the floor I WOULD NOT CARE! When Vinny first handed it to me I said, "WOW! This is heavier than I imagined." An ordinary, 1904 $20 gold piece plus $50 = One Krugerrand. The point, as explained to me, was that our members have bought gold in the past at substantially lower prices. Additionally, an ounce for an ounce is insurance against any future fluctuations in price between now and next year. I will enjoy it until I send it off to the Liberty Seated Collector's Club. BUT, the three acceptable trades were the Eagle, the Maple Leaf and the Krugerrand. I asked this question to send the answers to the committee to see if they would accept a Philharmonic, for example.

Can you explain it to me please. Is it that you sent them the Krugerrand to melt down or something to make the medal? Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 10/25/2012 07:55 am This link explains it better than I can: http://lsccweb.org/SilverGoldMedal.php Not explained in the link are these reasons: 1) Many members would have purchased gold bullion years ago at much lower prices. 2) A one ounce for one ounce trade provides immunity from any changes in the price of gold. Also, a member may request that his or her last name be added to the edge along with the .999 and the member #. The gold will be melted and then recycled, much as gold has been melted and recast for thousands of years. edit The initial trial strike of the gold proved to be unacceptable. The remedy will be to design a narrower diameter and to increase the thickness. Edited by matthewvincent 10/25/2012 08:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
