It looks like the cheapies are done an dusted.

Hi

sers do not tell me bullion only sers

>>52807149
Its under 20 dude shut up, ti it hits 40 its cheap, 40 to 60 its priced correctly, 60 to 100 is squeezed over priced.....anything over 100, is either hyper inflation or werewolf invasion

First for Silver!

For some reason I like these bars. And they are actually at a good price (better than most of the stuff in FindBullionPrices). And I get some airlines miles and 2% cashback.

Bars are gay

>>52807171
Anon, that's under £20 not $20. In USD it's over $23.

>>52807133
whats are EU pmg & cmmg approved etfs for commodity bull run?
is something like a junior miner etf still good in a high rate recession or would more bare metal exposure be the better play?

I love geigers, but that plastic crate is so ghetto.

>>52807283
I wish my PopTarts had packaging like that.

>>52807283
It serves its purpose. Don't know what else I'd be able to put em into for storage. Opened the fucker upside down when I got em. Luckily over my table, and not the floor.

>>52807314
How bout this packaging?

>>52807199
Under 40 usd is still cheap bro

>>52807186
>airlines miles and 2% cashback.
So you're using a credit card and paying 2.04% more. You get some miles for that 0.04%, and a quick turnaround. Not terrible.

>>52807171
>werewolf invasion
Its werewolf invasion

>>52807358
I use ACH whenever possible to get the 4% discount. Sure you have to wait a little longer, but the savings are substantial over time.

Shut your whore mouth.

>>52807327
Gross, it looks all makes and shit.

>>52807387
Well brother then we must work fast to end this terror

I got approved for a credit card today. I want to work my way up to one that gives you cash back on everything. I really want more gold, so I'm actually inspired to nickel and dime everything in a way I never have. If I can reduce my expenses to nearly zero I'll have gold to balance my silver in a few months. Then I may but more silver, don't know.

Another question, how much pair fiat and bank ledger money should one keep on hand? Like what's the ideal ratio between PM stack, bank ledger, and paper fiat? In a long term crisis gold and silver are the best bet, but if we have a short term grid down thing, I think paper cash will be more practical.

>>52807555
I think ideally you would want twice as much money stashed away as a plane ticket to the other side of the world, however much that is at the time. right now that'd be like $3k. I wouldn't want to do this if I didn't have at least 10x that value in PMs and I don't so I don't. a few hundred bucks in divisible bills is probably ideal for the average joe.

Its over isn't it?

>>52807616
And how much in the bank? At the moment, my stack is over triple my checking and "savings" combined.
Also, why do we even have "savings" accounts anymore? It's an anachronism. Back in the day you got interest on it. Now the interest is so low it might as well be zero, and you can change the values from anywhere, anytime, so the distinction is virtually meaningless.

Ok Anons, I've been wanting to get one of these for a while but just recently snagged one in stock:
Golden Eagle Coin's grab bag Sterling Silver 10oz lot.
Overall weight is 10oz, so ASW should be 9.25oz.
It cost me $258 for reference.
My overall weight was 10.046 ozt.
Overall there are some pros and cons.
Cons:
2x 90% Panamanian coins fell in the lot. These are desirable coins as-is so I'll let it slide.
A moderate amount of maimed silver. Scratches, bends, and a couple had holes. That said, it's mostly the 3p, Canadian 5c and 10c that had these problems. Clearly they're using these grab bags as a means to get rid of them at a better profit point than refining them.
There is such a large amount of Canadian 5 and 10c. This is a personal thing, but I don't care much for them, I'll likely piecemeal them out on reddit or ebay.
Pros:
FOUR crowns. I'm impressed. 3/4 are cleaned, but at $27.84/oz, I can't complain. I expected one or maybe two.
A lot of Victorian stuff, much more than I was expecting. I was expecting mostly Australian George VI sterling.
Some of these older coins have solid details and may get thrown in my albums.
Overall, I'd say I'm quite satisfied with the grab-bag and would do it again.

>>52807133
Bros why does molten silver look like sweet thai chili sauce? It's making me hungry

>>52807689
whats the deal with those silver sovs are they worth getting

>>52807719
You mean the Crowns?
Yes, they're very desirable for numismatists, much like silver dollars.

>>52807683
pick one: 3 months salary, or 6 months of expenses, minimum. Minimum. You dont want to sell your stash because of life events.

>>52807683
yeah, I don't keep a savings account whatsoever. my PMs ARE my savings, and they have already drawn handsome interest. I only keep a $3k cushion for convenience. also money sitting in a bank is dead money, there are a million things you can buy with it that will at the very least slowly appreciate. like fucking wine if nothing else ffs.

thread needs more gold and platinum

>>52807358
If you are gonna use CC go Ebay/Walmart or Amazon. Actually cheaper than dealer website. Liberty has a nice deal when you subscribe for emails they give you a coupon for 10% off.

>>52807859
I'm curious what a 1oz platinum coin looks like compared to a 1oz gold coin, but not curious enough to buy an ounce of platinum.

It's not the look of platinum that boggles the mind. It's the feel. Like the Earth wants it back.

>>52807912
I want to own more platinum, but I always find something I want more when it comes time to buy.

This is a good read.

Ah finally. After much trial and tribulations my black Friday order has finally made its way to me. Oh the joy of owning a gold buffalo.

>>52808013
Frenmark never happened. The only /pmg/ round I was even remotely interested in...dead in the water. I did however order 5 horsefuckers.

Picked up some maples at the LCS today for $30 each. 10 oz bars were 280 so I figure the extra $2/oz premium for recognizable coins is worth it. That’s not terrible right? Way cheaper than dealing with (((sales tax))) online

I just hate having my purchases all get recorded, like there’s bank info if you write a check or use a CC, plus every package going through USPS gets the addresses logged(I think). And obviously SD Bullion or whoever you use has the sale records.

I def still buy shit online sometimes but I’m leery of grabbing large amounts, feels like I’d get put on a list for when the dollar fails and the govt decides to repo everyone’s stack >>52808253

I'm half way to having as much silver as the Pirate William Kidd. I even bought an eyepatch and a treasure chest.

Slim chance of that ever happening. And if it ever did, it would only take one fed getting popped by a stacker for that shit to end pretty quickly. Thieves are thieves and most won't care if the thieves come knocking with a piece of paper and a shiny badge, they'll defend their property all the same.

>>52808516
>inventory
You just know the stash was 3x more than what was recorded.

>>52808535
Yup, still it's a good target for a decent stack.

>>52808551
Goals are good, fren. Keep on stackin'.

I bought this today.
I paid exactly $150 for it, am l a baka for doing so?

>>52808604

>>52808604
I got these earlier this week for about $14 dollars less.

>>52807689
where'd you find the grab bag option? I checked their site and didn't see anything.

>>52808613

SD Bullion is where I ordered from. Sorry, I lied on accident. Must have been thinking of another order. They were $175.

Daily reminder to not buy american or canadian gold because they are just selling it like jewelry and they know you can`t/won`t use it yet because they control it`s price
The "banks" attacked gold and crypto so that`s your choice at the end

>>52808696

>Even the US had to bend the knee and mint Silver Riyals for trade
What happened? They used to be so pro-Gold, but nowadays the most you'll hear of their desire to break free from the petrodollar is suggestions of accepting other debt based fiats like the Yuan or the Ruble.
Will the Saudis ever demand payment exclusively in their own Gold and Silver Specie again or have they gone soft?

>>52809107
>debt based fiats like the Yuan or the Ruble.
Give it two weeks or so, they'll be backed by gold.

Any bets for Monday?

Is that an old poured Canadian Mint bar? It’s really nice

Quick tamp followed by an uptick to the low 24s.

But that's how you know deals are hidden within.

>>52809174
True, they also stock a lot of stuff that nobody else does, you just have to find it.

Anyhow, goodnight frens. Early morning picking things up, and then putting them down.

Thanks for posting this anon, does lend credence to accumulating gold alongside other pms more. I think it's a tad silly because it's mostly humans arbitrarily valuing the metal whereas most of silvers demand comes from real industrial application, but if the other stupid monkeys value it and I'm stuck a stupid monkey in a stupid monkey world I guess I have no choice.

Successful night of panning at the papermill tonight. Some poor soul must have missed this little guy when they sent thier card board to the recycle facility.

What’s causing silver prices to jump? Ounces have gone up like 5 USD recently.,.

Many such cases, unfortunately, but thier loss my gain. Pretty beat up around the edge but silver is silver.

I work nights, so im up all night any way but yea im constantly haunted by the thought of how much gold and silver ive missed and has been loaded up and dumped at the landfill.

Check this shit out niggers i got it in the mail today
6 ounces
See next post also got these really cool 2oz State quarter proofs

>>52809638
I overpaid like a motherfucker but i thought these were really cool so it was worth it and i couldn’t find them for sale anywhere else online

>>52809638
Nice biggest coin ive got is 2 oz, I've wondered how the 5oz and up coins looked in comparison.

I like how the Lunar metal is the only thing going to the Moon

>>52808780
Suckers used to go for like $1500 a decade ago. $4k now.

>>52807133
If silver were to go to 80... or even just 40-50.
Would most people/shops really be willing to pay extra on top that for coins/coveted designs?
At first (while choice is abundant) they'd just try to get the cheapest silver that they can, no?

Guys I bought this 20th Anniversary 2001 America Silver Eagle Pcgs set for a total of $927. 20 coins total years 1986-2005
Did i get a good deal?
I think it comes out to $46 each

>>52809654
>I've wondered how the 5oz and up coins looked in comparison.

Kilo surrounded by 10, 5, 2, 1, 2x 1/2, 1x 1/4, 5x 1/10 ozt.

>>52809745
People are always gonna pay extra if they see a design they like. I paid extra for those little Aztec silver rounds because i thought they were cool.
People pay a little extra for designs on gold too and that’s way more than 80 lol

>>52809783
God damnit. Now i need a kilo and a 10oz round. This is all your fault.

>>52809085
>RCM kilo bar
Do want, when did you get that?

>>52809745
The most I paid was $650 for a set of four half-ozt Canadian Moon coins in a wooden box.

Pic related 2 ozt coin was $250.

Yes, morons will pay more.

>>52809795
I kind of went nuts that year. It was the first time I had access to the full range of sizes of the elephant. But I don't have buyer's remorse like I kind of do with this:

Sweet, thanks.

>>52809788
>>52809812
Thanks for the reasoning and insight.
Still a noob and I've been considering sheer weight vs recognizability vs cost.
Granted, the cheapest option doesn't get me that many more troy ounces at the current prices.

>>52809855
You're welcome. It just dawned on me that I should take a profile or oblique version to show the differences in thickness, too. Kilos are very thick.

>>52809865
>at the current prices.
You see it! As spot prices climb, I have not seen the really pricey coins' prices go up. So maybe when things get expensive, bite the bullet and get the high-premium coins?

My other really, really big concern is, that Coral Sea and pic related may be considered "Cinderella" coins, ala stamp collecting. There are countries (islands) that make stamps that will clearly never be used for postage, and real collectors spurn them. Will that happen with the extra value on these island nation coins?

And will their value go up after they get swamped by rising sea levels?

when I had to move, sold my entire collection of metals, it takes alot of time to get good prices (prbly year+) I had like a month, dumped everything at a loss, never gonna hold physical valuables again, when you are in a hurry it is a pain getting rid of your stash

why cant anybody answer a basic question instead of calling me a shill or asking random shit

GOOD MORNING EUROPOOR PMG CHADS

>>52810286
I believe they think you are shilling paper metal instead of actual metal. To answer your question buying paper metal is the equivalent of one of those "own a star" companies, only its worse because if you "buy" a star you at least get a physical piece of paper you can hold and wipe your ass with, buying paper metal you dont even get the paper these days. So don't buy a digital iou for metal just buy the metal and call it a day.

That's what I'm also wondering.
All those "limited edition" collectibles, do they really get collected? AFAIK all valuable collectibles became so over time/by accident, and not because they were made as such.
>And will their value go up after they get swamped by rising sea levels?
Now, that's an interesting thought. Maybe my Niue coin bar (unlike the coins, this one was made to be cheaper) will go up in value.

Secure your stack as required for peace of mind. Or if you have a significant hoard, contact a broker, make a deal, secure it as dictated and get insured.

If you were some silver hoarding schizo you should have gone to physical shops and traded for gold

Does keeping maples sealed in the individual Mylar packs make them more valuable? Obviously it protects them from oxidation and it makes them look more “legit” but they take up more space. Some of mine are from the 80s before they solved the milk spot issue so I’m scared to take them out

That's a good gold stack! More wealth than most people for most of human history could have even dreamed of.

>>52812108
Nice shiny layout!

Anyone have a 1949 Mexican 33.625g .925 silver bullion ounce? As I understand it was the first 1ozt asw silver coin/round and a nifty piece of stacking history. Maybe they were popular among forward-thinking protostackers a generation or 2 before boomers entered the scene. It would be interesting to read about onzachads dabbing on teaspoonplebs, doréchuds and .900 coin schizos in c.1950 stacker newsletters if communities like that even existed back then.

>>52810700
Checked. I actually like the idea behind the P7. From an engineeringvstandpoint the design of operation is fairly brilliant. The execution is poor, since you could grill steaks on it after you shoot through a magazine. Then there's that hideous grip safety that came about as a post-initial-design bureaucratic insertion.
It's ugly, and you could use it to heat a house. And they're expensive. Not something I pine for. I like the concept like I said. I suppose they make for good memorabilia and conversation pieces. I'd never own one without it being gifted to me.

sheeit. As other anon's say you need to diversify. 3 passports, two bank accounts in each location, gold, American index funds, and an online business that dumps funds into an offshore account. Selling PMs should be the last option.

>>52813094
Don't give a shit what ethnicity they are. Muslims and jews must be destroyed. Both are incompatible with western civilization and antithetical to everyone outside their tribes. They are the enemy.

>>52813124
Honestly looks really sus, it appears modern and the hallmark looks "rough" instead of nice and clean and crisp like on legit professionally made pieces. Being solid instead of having hollowed recesses behind/inside the bulky design elements is also suspect, normally they'd conserve gold. I bought a fake gold ring (it was sold as gold plated sterling so was cheap) to study and it had both karat and millesimal stamps which was a bit weird, was all solid with no voids for metal thrifting typical of real gold, and the stamps looked "rough" too. The gold plating was quite thick but upon cutting deep enough the shiny silver core was obvious. If it's a few bucks then it can't hurt but chances are that it's fake, my spidey senses don't like it.

>>52808169
Just bought a krug. Its fun comparing the different tone of the krug to my gold bars

>>52813251
good point but there are lots of solid pieces. I actually prefer solid ones because water doesn't get trapped against your finger and make your skin rash.

I feel like hollow pieces became popular when rapper ice became a thing because people want gold and diamonds without paying the big price so the jewellers make everything super hollow and easily dented. I've dented rings just taking them off because of how they are constructed.

>>52813251
further; my experience with 18k fakes is mostly poker tournament rings and Versace rings. I've tested probably 100 Versace rings stamped 10k that weren't even plated with real gold.

>>52813335
In my more limited observations solid pieces are older and that ring looks quite modern, which also makes the rough hallmark more suspicious. If you get it, cut deep and let us know how it goes. Judging from that single picture I personally wouldn't pay anywhere near gold price for it, looks too risky.

>>52813290
Might make a Krug my first gold

>>52813388
based
I also bought gold krugs as my first gold purchase

>>52813387
I'd say that's a good analysis but you never know what is cheaply produced stuff from India. I had (already sold) a white carat diamond co. pendant worth 10k that I assume had originally been drop shipped from India and for an expensive piece the stamp looked absolutely awful.

>>52813422
I'm not saying it's definitely not genuine, just that the suspicious aspects would rule out my willingness to pay anything close to theoretical melt value. I prefer my unambiguous dirt-cheapies anyway, there's no shortage of those more mediocre deals.

>>52807149
Anything less than $100 is dirt cheap.
I will stack until I cannot.
By that I mean, when my body is dead.

>>52810005
This is demonstrably good bait.

>>52813536
14k white gold? have you tested the stones?

>>52813618
CZ and just 10k, my Goodwill doesn't screen out the good stuff so when they have it the prices are excellent. Rings are all $4 each and pairs of earrings are all just $1 each. Gotten a few chunky sterling items containing nearly a kilo of pure a piece for just $4 each at that store as well, true cheapies are delightful. If you don't monitor your local thrifting scene it would definitely be worth your time since you have lots of experience and a trained eye, at worst you could arrange to buy jewelry at a better price than the cash 4 gold shops and probably get some valuable pieces to resell mixed with the scrap.

>>52813124
ffs... buy the damned thing and test it.
ebay will support any returns.

To get his 24¢ in nickel?
>>52812303
It is an interesting thought tho. I wonder how stackers communicated with each other before the internet or whatever.
>>52813290
Yeah I've noticed the colors of all my gold are very different. I'm still deciding if I prefer pure or .900. Nice krug too!
>>52813388

In building a new staging area, I figured I could use silver in the process. They're weights to press glued black paper onto cardboard backing.
Pretty AND functional!

I hope silver spot doesn't move too much this weekend. Had exactly enough cash to get what I wanted from my local shop but they close early on Saturday and don't open again until Monday morning.

I should get some Dr. Pepper and after drinking, fill the empty cans with silver and reseal them.

>>52814174
looking good

>>52814346
This is perhaps the most original, eloquent, and powerfully persuasive fud I have ever seen. Thank you kind anon for helping me to see the error of my foolish ways. From now on I will invest in stocks, bonds, real estate, and crypto only. Does anyone want to buy my silver?

>>52814370
That's a nice stack no matter how you arrange it!

>>52814394
i would buy for spot like any other coin shop

>>52814394

Sure, I'll give you 20% below spot, best I can do.

Your Silver is gay.

Recent purchase.

>>52807327

I feel fantastic. Hey, hey, hey.

Got this 1/2 ounce in the mail just now. This stock photo does not do it justice. It's a really pretty coin. On par with the elephants. Christmas present for my GF.

>>52807709

Do it. You know you want it.

>>52814490
Cute cat.

>>52813124
Its ebay buy it test it and return if fake. As long as he is selling it as gold they have to take it back if fake.
Even if they dont accept returns.

>>52814410
That would be a win for me in the short run but a loss in the long. So I changed my mind. But thanks for the offer.

>>52814490
I already think it's beautiful but I know most videos showing coins in motion are even better
You're the two to whom foxes are an appreciate symbol, right?

This weeks pickups from ebay,lcs and a few thrift shops.

>>52814687
Details on the gold coin. Its not a common bullion one. Too bad about the soldered on ring.

>>52814692
Back side.

>>52814684
3k riels is less than a dollar
this is a very bizarre coin

>>52814569
Yes, but that isn't the reason. She's Japanese and foxes in Japanese folklore are magical creatures that can take human form and do mischief or good. So GF has some fox-like qualities. It's a running joke that she is actually a fox in human form.

>>52810994
That's beautiful. Why do they sparkle like that? Is it just the camera moving around and catching reflections from the surface at different angles?

>>52814684
I like the back even more

>>52814705

I'm guessing some mint approached the Cambodia government to create that. Still I'm a sucker for colored coins.

The gold one is only marked as 30k riels. Haha.

>>52814782

>>52814795
It's still red hot, it might be the impurities glowing. That's what I would guess anyway.

I understand and sympathize with my silverback brethren, it is a metal of great utility, but gold is what the slav/spic/poo currency of the 21st century will be backed by and gold will 20x even though it is but a shiny rock while silver has more active mines and comex and the lbma will likely get restocked again and again.

Should I sell some metals and buy a generator? Serious question, need a quick answer.

>>52814887
Sorry *chink

Christ, just found out today they likely have 30.000 tons of the shit, 2000 is just some art of war look weak while you are strong shit. If you're in a no-gold country like Canada or the UK you're in for a major crash.

>>52814909
Yeah, China has been the world's largest producer for many years and kept most of it. Plus they have been buying heavily. They have been doing that with a plan in mind. Now that the cat is out of the bag things are going to start rolling fast.

The Fox comes in a nice box.

What's up pmg?

Here's the other side

>>52814955
it's brover
china is stacking gold to develop new secret technologies and the price of silver will go nowhere
fiat won

>>52814979
Gold is really challenging to photograph if you are retarded like me. The details look fuzzy in this photo, but they really are not at all. The color is captured pretty well.

>>52814986
Alistair McLeod recommends 30-40% of your metal allowance into silver, I do that, rest is gold.

>>52814891
This is amazing

>>52815076

>>52814887

I thought gold was also used in tech and also for more efficient solar cells. Then again, that's just what I remember reading, not like I'm there seeing them made.

>>52814954
Indeed

>>52814887
Ok so they will do good backed dollars redeemable for x oz gold. Gonna be some nice derivative instruments that are too profitable not to manifest and eventually they will be back to square one, unless they mint silver/gold currency. Up to them. I do not care. We will trade silver and gold in the fallen west.

Does "no-gold" mean no gold mining or just that it isn't stock-piled and shipped off elsewhere?

>>52814887
if gold goes up so will silver
really is that simple

>>52815214
Canada has zero gold in the bank but at least has gold mines. The UK has 300 tons which is nothing when compared to Germany, Italy or France and they don't have gold mines.

China is the biggest producer and a major importer. Those inscrutable orientals are going to unleash some major shit one day with a gold backed Yuan, probably go to war with Taiwan soon after, since they'll be sanction proof.

Didn't happen during COVID, gold/silver ratio was like 120/1 or some shit for a few weeks.

>>52815254
It's fascinating to think about all this stuff.

60 oz gold.
1600 oz silver.

Is using APMEX's portfolio tool a trick? I'm really surprised they haven't used it to calculate all the money they could have made on me by selling things at a reasonable fuckin price.

This god damned control arm bolt is frozen in place and it's drivin' me up the fuckin' wall.

>>52815254
China isn't going to go after Taiwan because Taiwan has nukes and China knows it. China hates Taiwan because it represents a Chinese republic. But it is all saber rattling and diversion on all sides.

But I think there WILL be gold-backed BRICS BUCKS issued before very long and that is going to be much more significant for the USA than anything relating to Taiwan.

>>52815339
You may enter the city.

>>52815342
i don't really understand it, because the 'value' is just based on apmex prices right? so if you sell back to apmex you won't get that number, not even close

>>52815269
oh ok i guess it'll never happen

hope that appreciates well relative to land. that's all I want for my pile.

whats that jelly thats being poured?

yes, i do 1:100 ratio

May it serve you well

>>52815499
I would aim for 1/40 but then again I am raped by VAT.

>>52815515
Yes, seems people flocked to gold when it looked like a legitimate plague was breaking out but then reaserted back to 80/1 or whatever which is still artificially skewed, but it is what it is, silver has been demonitized. Its industrial applications remain intact ofc

>>52815381
Yes, I also think they won't invade. It's easier and more profitable to take over the public narrative and make the younger generation used to and dependant on chinese supremacy.

>>52815339
Well, this anon is really going to make it.

China is insulating itself from globohomo BS by securing their energy and shoring up gold reserves. Russia did this too to an extent before invading Ukraine by creating MIR but China doesn't want ANY weaknesses showing before they unleash a can of gold backed whoop ass on ZOG

>>52815499
that's pretty heavy. keep that in mind if you live in a city or somewhere that you might have to leave in an emergency.

I wish I had just bought more Brittanias, these Yale 2 ounces seem very out of place in my small collection.

>>52815702
KMT won which apparently is the CCP party, which doesn't make sense historically but whatever, Taiwan could be absorbed peacefully too, but I feel like Xi is an impatient bastard, he couldn't even wait for the proper handover date with HK.

>>52815698
It would be interesting if China created a gold backed currency but realistically it would have to exist alongside of their fiat yuan the way things are right now. They can’t NOT print money when so much of their GDP is complete money laundering bullshit like bullet trains to fucking nowhere and ghost cities made of garbage and styrofoam. They’ll reserve the gold backed currency for government transactions or maybe certain state approved corporate transactions.

What do you guys think about diamonds as an investment?

>>52815763
I don't.

>>52815752
People from Taiwan fucking HATE “red” China and the CCP. I can’t fathom a peaceful takeover in our lifetimes.
>t. Works for Taiwanese

>>52815763
not fungible
fungibility is kinda important

>>52812012
I prefer the .1867 size, they're usually alot more cost effective. The premium is usually half percentage-wise

>>52815702
1:100 is standard as far as /pmg/ is concerned
silver is only "heavy" because it is so underpriced. that's kind of the point.

>>52814280
First light with the new setup.
Promising. Needs tweaks.

>>52815763
Are you a multimillionaire capable of buying investment grade gems and not just jewelry gems which are highly overpriced?
Diamonds are a great way of smuggling billions of dollars in a very small package but they aren’t divisible the way gold and silver are. Unless you’re literally worth at least 9-10 figures net worth, I wouldn’t bother getting into the precious stones market as an investment or emergency store of wealth. I have six figures worth of gold in my nest egg and it all fits in a shoebox. I theoretically could convert the whole thing into a single tiny emerald or Ruby or something but I prefer the versatility of gold to having all of that savings in a single tiny rock that will literally lose all of its value if I accidentally scratch it or if it chips or shatters.

>>52815874
You're a silver privileged yank however

>>52815763
They are dogshit tier investment. The value of them is entirely artificial and in times of true scarcity which we will see return, I don't see people spending tens of thousands of dollars on rings and jewelry as often as you do today.

>>52815727
You can have the shipper hold it at depot. Then arrange pickup. No worries.

>>52815763
Most anons have it right. Diamonds are not a solid store of value. I have a bag of gems removed from jewelry I've refined. They're almost worthless.

I went to goodwill today.

>>52815954
Agreed for the most part, especially with regards to jewelry, but do see:
>>52815887
True “investment grade” gems are genuinely rare. But We’re only talking about the most brilliant, flawless, perfect stones; the 0.00001% or even less. Investment grade gems will retain their value the same way that gold will. But the problem here, as I said is, unless you’re worth at least 9 or 10 figures, there isn’t any logical reason to even bother getting into that market.
If I was worth $100,000,000 I would probably buy $5,000,000 worth of flawless rubies or sapphires or emeralds because they would be small enough that if SHTF I could smuggle all $5,000,000 worth of them up my ass while I flee to a safer place and arrive there and still be set for life. But I’m not worth that much.

>>52815999
Checked...
There is no shortage, banks & retailers want to provide less services and funnel everyone into CBDCs

I found a pewter antique, searching the marking said it was from mid 1800s. Is this stuff worth the buy? I didn't get it, but hid it behind something for if I changed my mind. it was $5

>>52815763
Diamonds are a scam for the most part. (((Debeers))) And the other diamond cartels figured out how to market them and keep the market locked down.
Yes huge flawless diamonds will always have a value But diamond pricing is so subjective that it cant be trusted.
Pms have a set spot price based on their purity so its easy to make them liquid no matter where you are in the world.

oh yeah definitely best time to post, end thread. whoops

>>52816047
19th century pewter is much sought after. If you can get it for a reasonable price, you should.

>>52814509
I try to avoid returns because ebay will ban your account if you do too many returns even in good faith.

>>52815887
this is truly a brainlet strategy if you don't really, really understand the gem market and where to offload expensive rubies for a good price.

>>52816050
debeers is old news. There are a million mining companies and retailers for natural diamonds and they are all crying about CVD and HPHT

>>52816047
I'd probably buy it, not sure how big it is but tin is worth about $25/kg right now so for $5 you probably wouldn't lose. The patina doesn't really look 19th century but maybe it was carefully stored or something.

>>52816138
If you’re in investment grade gems, then it means you know. Unless you’re a fucking retard. Obviously like with any investment you have to know what you’re doing. Everyone in /pmg/ who isn’t new knows not to buy overpriced gimmicky gold and silver shit, I would hope, for example.
Naturally the gem market is more complicated but if you’re going in to a market with $5,000,000 I would assume anyone would do their research first.
