The last 10 days I bought coins at melt and by the time they arrived they were way below melt
Gold in euro is at an all time high and going higher
Exchange agents pay 4% over melt and sell 8% over melt
A professional seller let a TV crew film his safe
He had a few kilo bars gold left and 100 oz silver but no coins I could see
He said he had 200% of normal volume the last 10 days

Every single time I have bought that yellow stuff in the last 6 months, it has appreciated afterwards. When my banks are shaky, and the government is buying them up, it is nice to know there is a nice fair weather harbour to park my funds.

The only identical coin I know that has them in yellow and red is the Britannia I like red better  |

THESE ARE THE FIRST SILVER COINS WITH REAL 24K GOLD PLATED EDITION, A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE AND DESIRABLE ITEM  I've noticed other auctions from Germany mistaking our nickels for silver, but a "gold plated edition" is a new one! lol. I've sometimes taken the time to notify the seller of their mistake, only to be corrected back!  |

I search for cheap gold, but have to put in negs in the search string like -mini, -replica etc. The amount of that garbage almost makes the search not worth the trouble. |

Aw man. August, after peeking at that pretty Louis XIV coin, I wandered off into the depths of Ebay Frances, and found something I like.  My French is definitely not up to par, so I don't know if I will bid on the coin or not. Of course, in four days, the coin may not be so reasonably priced, either. Oh, and it isn't gold, either.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350108986660&category=127199&_trksid=p3907.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DSI%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D15%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D54 |

Seller doesn't take paypal, which makes a transaction difficult, I can imagine he takes IBAN, but who in America does that?
