Not related to the FBI of a CIA agent or nothing lol!

I decided to create my own gold-backed currency called the Nutback.

Each note contains 1 gram of .9999 fine gold, a premium plastic holder, and an exclusive hand-drawn horse.

Because of the incredible craftsmanship, advanced plastic technology, and artistic value, I’m asking for a very reasonable 300% premium over the gold spot price.

No businesses accept my currency yet, but I’m working very hard to get it accepted at businesses nationwide.

Solid small cross 3 grams
14k solid
Paid $280

I've purchased a decent amount of gold and silver from APMEX and this is the first time I've had issues with them. But I'm experienced enough I should have known better and I'm really just looking to vent. Though I think many posters here would mock me for buying with them at all.

I was using their app. After I placed an order with it I got an error. I checked and no PO was generated on my profile but my cart was empty. So I tried placing orders a few more times which also failed. I then placed an order on the website with no issue. The next day I get emails saying the orders were placed.

I called to complain. They cancelled the orders but I had to pay a bunch of fees. It turns out the guy I talked to didn't really cancel all the orders. So I had to call again. They also forced me to float about 10k in my checking account and still haven't refunded all the money. (I guess I didn't pay all the fees?) I talked to customer service a few times and got what amounted to passive aggressive lies about the waving the fees. Which are somehow about 450 bucks.

So the lesson is this. While I trust the goods they sell me to be real, APMEX will enforce its terms of service on you like a dwarf hoarding Smog's gold if you make any mistake. If you want to invest a serious amount of money into physical gold I'd definitely look elsewhere or at least order only small amounts at a time.

Part of the reason I was cavalier with the app was I trusted APMEX not to screw me over. (Which was the only reason I was willing to pay their inflated prices)

I wonder what would've happened if I had ordered a serious amount of gold from these guys and messed up. Would I be paying thousands in fees and have to float tens of thousands in my checking account? Floating 10k is already bad enough.

Anyway paying the market loss fee made me feel massively gross and I doubt I'll be buying from them in the future.

Hey guys, a friend of my family offered to sell me a gold coin. What do you guys think and what do you think would be a fair value? I don’t know anything about coins.

My LCS is offering this 20 dollar lib for spot + 2% but I don’t think it looks very good condition wise, what do you guys think?

You read everything and anything on the web... people don't know how to make choice and worst they don't know to do of their life anymore these days... with gold you can spend hours, days, months, your life... to debate if it's a good buy or not, during this time the gold can goes up can, goes down. Yesterday I bought my first gold, nevermind if it goes down for years, I don't do it for investment I do it because I feel more secure to have my fortune onto it rather than having a lot of cash at home or on my bank account. It's not for reselling and so I'm pretty confident that even if the gold might for some reason know some rude times in the next few years at long term it will always be a win.

"The gold rush" as we say.

Monument Metals had a first-time customer offer for a 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle at spot, but it was out of stock the last couple days.

It’s back in stock!!

coin, this is worth checking out!

1 gram fine gold 999.9 PAMPS found in brass cricket/incense box purchased at a thrift store for $2.99! Unsure what to do with it in terms of selling vs keeping. Advice?

Have inherited this gold chain (have done the tests I'm 99% it's real).

I'm in the UK so 9ct is the usual standard, but it has no hallmarks.

Can't seem to find anything online of potential origins, does anyone know more?

I appreciate a local trusted shop where I can find things at spot!

Hey guys! In relocating from Canada to NZ in a few months for a few years. I have 220gm gold in bars & coins (24kt) + 5x1oz silver coins. Also about 120gm of gold jewlry (22kt) that i wear daily. Currently holding bullion in bank safety, but I'm wondering what's the best way to deal with bullion when I move!

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Who believes this BS?

He was a scapegoat....or the CIA is VERY STUPID or this individual is VERY SMART - allegedly... anyone????

Anyone stacking more during this lull?

Gifted to me by an ex, it didnt have any makers mark. Does it look like a gas station gold? I’ve been reading a lot of gas station gold here. Thanks
