What are (you)r thoughts and strategies for fractional gold?

>>54519121
I honestly hate buying fractional gold. The premiums are too fucking high

Finally got my boomer tracking number

>>54519135
Fair. I figure a set of Maple Grams and 5 or so of each Goldback will be a fine way to round out my 1oz gold coins.

>>54519152
I honestly don’t have any gold. If I ever see a steal somewhere I grab some but focusing on silver at the moment. Especially because of all the properties silver have in EV / solar. Think the price in the next ten years will outpace gold

Do you guys do this? I've worked in all the warehouses and I would not do this.

I strictly order from private fb pages / eBay. Just look for people with references and good reviews and you’re fine. I wouldn’t from big billion companies tho just because of the price difference tho but I understand. I worked in a warehouse too and we caught people stealing fucking Brussels sprouts so I don’t put anything past people

A lil something for the buffalo haters

>>54519121
1/4 eagles are so expensive. Sovs and other euro gold aren’t great to stack in the US. I do like the 2 Rand though. 1/4 krug is also not too bad. I pass on 1/4 Brits, roos, Phils.

>>54519172
Done it plenty of times without issue. That said having a relationship with a local dealer is a good idea.

>>54519213
>not Glenlivet 15
into the trash it goes

>>54519121
I like sovereigns and Swiss Helvetias. Only buy them when the premiums are low, though. Otherwise I stick to 1 oz coins.

Crypto nerds will seethe.

What you mean through the mail?
Is UPS insured delivery through the mail?
Then yes I'm guilty. I don't physically walk to the coinshop on the other side of the continent to pick em up.

>>54519121
I avoid it for the most part. With the G/S ratio the way it is, I'd rather buy silver. If it's on sale for close to spot or under, I'd pick it up though. I also buy one of each goldback that comes out because I just think they're neat.

>>54519299
>>54519213
Is it for consooming or for reselling?

>>54519276
True, but speaking more of coins from late 1800s to early 1900s for Australian Mints, I want those sovereigns

Silvertowne's, by a country mile

Question for those of you buying silver rounds at a local coin shop. Do you do any sort of testing at the store or just take the owners word that they're legit?

>>54519549
I just bought some of the ST buff today. I went with it because the "USA" printed at the top makes it more appealing to boomers. Some of them only want USA minted stuff like eagles and buffalos.

>>54519571
Any good coin shop owner should have something like a Sigma there and if they have any customer service skills, will test it for you right there for you to see (assuming they're not overflowing with people at the time). There's also apps out there that can measure the ping of a coin to test based on frequency. I have one of those coin grips that make these tests easier to ping.

>>54519571
Also if you're that worried about fakes, stick to coins. Bars are much more commonly faked, esp gold in assay cards. Coins are much easier to test and spot fakes because of the intricate designs and security features. Britannias are excellent for their built-in security like the laser etched hologram lock that's done at the Royal Mint with lasers so fine, they're too expensive to fake.

I don't think silver rounds are usually faked anyway because counterfeiters like to target high premium items like American eagles, gold assay bars, and proof coins like collectable Morgan dollars, etc.

>>54519538
river and lode gold is best gold. its all over the place, but only worth working in some special spots.

>>54519549
This one's pretty bad.
It reminds me of of the man headed bull god coins that the Greeks used to mint, but I don't think a human faced buffalo is what they were going for.

>boomer greentext
you mean this one?

>>54519740
i dont usually seriously mine on river banks. I will snipe for fun around the edges of creeks or down in the bottoms of them with a dry suit. Its honestly pretty random, the more you look / work the more likely you are to actually get a good amount back for your labor. I ve gotten 10-11 grams on some days by hand by sniping, but some of the old timers I ve worked with have found several pounds at a time by hand working in creeks or dredging. Its also become very rare to find course gold over a few grams, the huge nuggets are usually too deep to get at by hand now.

Most of the time your not actually finding gold, but investigating spots that might have gold. 90% of my wanderings is looking for ground thats worth mechanical mining, and unfortunately thats getting very hard to locate.

>>54519172
I have no choice but to do it. I'm a good 5.5 hours away from an lcs in 3 directions. Otherwise I have to go to pawn shops frequented by meth heads, who only have 1/10 gold fractionals for like $280.

Happy Easter /pmg/

>>54519807
why would anyone buy this useless crap
> muh expensive egg

>>54519740
take's experience to figure it out. i can get about a gram in a couple hours at a local creek, often it feels like all your doing is washing rocks but after time you figure out where to look. test pan often - do some basic research read a book on panning and dive in. its fun. look up rules for the area your working. some equipment isnt allowed in certain area's.

>>54519822
Why are you seething?

>>54519606

>>54519715

so how many others have already seen one of these?

Tempted to buy 40 junk quarters for $30/oz for about $280. Retard move or no? Junk seems to be disappearing fast.

>>54519835

>>54519135
>I honestly hate buying fractional gold. The premiums are too fucking high
seems like you’re doing it wrong then.
My last two gold buys where around a quarter and a third ounce and at 2.4 and 1.1% premium (which was lower than any 1Oz coin I could find). If I had gotten boring bars, I could have gone like .5% lower even. Unless you’re going Kilo bars, sub 3% premiums seems pretty good to me!
But the best fractional gold, is the one you find yourself.

>>54519852
nevermind. just looked and they were collector shit and bigger money now

>>54519853
Paying way too much anon, I’d recommend shopping around to find a better price, or consider buying Canadian junk or just regular 1oz generics

>>54519855
Those charts are always so easy and obvious but IRL it takes a lot of practice and trying.
Like where the hell is which spot at pic related? You’ve got a few starting points but then you Gotta dig around.

>>54519915
This. If you want junk don't pay more than $20 per $1 face value. (i.e. $20 for 4 quarters)

>>54519121
I only buy sovereigns and other 1-1.5 century old european coins with low premiums when I buy gold.

>>54519931
oh for sure, its just the general rule of thumb, but in real practice gold usually ends up "where you find it", which seems sometimes utterly random. In pic related however, its a long point with few curves, so gold will stop at the first point it looses energy, so probably past those rapids in the flow, or close to the cobble bar on shore. Fantastic looking rock btw, lots of alterations and metamorphism.

>>54519931
looks like fraser river

>>54519931
try not to look at it as its flowing now. think of how it flows when it floods or after a big rain.

>>54519975
bingo! a very good area to check is the highest point on a bedrock outcrop, or bar after a major flood, especially around obstructions that wont generally move. Big gold doesnt want to move without a lot of effort, so major floods drop big gold where it stops dead in the flow. Moss beds on top of bed rock after floods often carry incredible gold.

>>54519121
if you look closely and carefully you can do alright
Euro stuff around the $400 mark, probably more now with prices. Those Austrian restrikes, mini sovs, francs etc
Fractional philharmonics sometimes
Just buy the ounce and bite the pain though, honestly.

Can you see it?

>>54519939
So anything over $200 for 40 quarters is a no buy is what you're saying?

>>54519172
Love the well poisoning, Asher. These large sites depend on their good name, and some bad bullion would totally ruin their business.

Why risk a few fakes when they can make big money keeping above board

>>54519213
At least flip the injun over

Does anyone have a source for raw gold nuggets? I'd like to have some gold in its raw form. Unrelated, I have a type 1? golden dollar, pre 33 coin. It's in one of those cardboard boomer slabs. I don't think it's a particularly special coin and would like to pull it out for some fondling. Should I just leave it as is?

>>54520037

I don’t think you’ll be able to find anything that is only 20 dollars above face if you’re really adamant

https://findbullionprices.com/p/Junk-Silver-10-Dollar-Face-Value/

^ this is a good website to compare silver prices if you don’t have a LCS near you, or try eBay or r/PMSFORSALE on leddit

Gobbocoin when?

>>54520055
look up "Nuggets By Grant" online, he's got a wide assortment of placer and hard rock gold, but his selection might be pretty low at the moment as its early spring, not many people have sent in anything to him. Ebay has had a few excellent sellers recently but they have gone dormant too until more materials available.

>>54520071
Thanks anon. I've been stacking rounds and a bar but the junk silver rush seems to be something I should at least dabble in

>>54520089
Thanks, panner.

>>54520095

Anytime anon, if you want to buy it doesn’t hurt to have a couple hundred dollars face in it, especially since it’s getting slurped up and it’s the best barter silver desu

>>54519121
>>54519106
>What are (you)r thoughts and strategies for fractional gold?

>>54520000
>Just buy the ounce and bite the pain though, honestly.
Checked, and mirin those fact-filled quads.

>>54519957
> which seems sometimes utterly random. In pic related however, its a long point with few curves, so gold will stop at the first point it looses energy,
Yes. Best spot I had was right at the beginning of the curve where I tried first, but I wanted to test lower towards the water, hoping to find bigger stuff and not only fine flood gold. Guess the bedrock below the big gravel could be good but I didn’t have the time required.
But especially on bedrock it sometimes is indeed utterly random. Some tiny structures you don’t really see causes heavies to accumulate. Like this manhole cover. WTF? Probably could yield some good stuff, but fuck getting a hernia for a bit of gold.
>>54519970
Nope.
>>54519975
Yes. But the heavier/coarser stuff should be lower (but rarer). Fine flood gold is “easy” but I really want some bigger stuff.

>>54520134
I just had my first French tranny arrive and while I like the design quite a bit, I find that I like the yellow of my wiener more. 24k just has that gold look that I want.

4 weeks in now. I really hopped on this train right before all the happenings started. I should have listened.

>>54520339
Better late than never. If silver goes down against the dollar later in the next year or two, don't despair. This happened before and people who buy at the top will bail when prices drop and they should be buying. You buy when the price is low and no one wants it. Silver fluctuates a lot because the market is small.

>>54520174
a lot depends on the area. my area floods often and the path can change. my local creek produces better results than some claims/clubs ive joined on bigger rivers. pickers are rare but if I find the streak and work it. they're in there. Are you just hand panning or have you tried a sluice? I find the faster/more material I can run the better results I get over time.

I don't stack with any illusions of getting rich. That's what passive income is for. Sure it'd be nice if my silver did 20x, but it's really just a form of savings to me that doesn't evaporate like fiat does. An emergency backup or inheritance if I never need it (which I hope I don't). It's financial insurance.

>>54520275
get good

These crypto kids have the attention span of a gnat, so they hate metals. They just want to check their phones and watch numbers go up every 5 minutes. Metal doesn't do anything fancy. It just sits there.

>>54520409
Do crypto nerds really not secretly have hundreds of thousands worth of PMs stashed away? I'm suspicious of any richfags who tell normalfags not to invest in something.

>>54520421
The way people argue in threads here, they act like they're all in on their favorite horse. Diversification is what builds a healthy portfolio. Have BTC or Monero, have gold, silver. Have liquidity in cash. Have land. Have some form of self sufficiency in the event of disaster.

God, I'm so poor.

>>54520392
I recently got me a tiny sluice. Still trying to get the hang of it. Turns out, my home river mostly doesn’t have enough flow/drop for it.
At this spot, it would have worked, but I had to go with low baggage, so the sluice stayed at home. I got kinda fast with my pan, but most time is spend classifying it seems, which I still need to do with my sluice.
I guess the most time you can save comes with experience and knowing how a spot/area “works”.

I'm also still waiting on 2 LMU to ship from ebay, supposed to be here by wednesday - not even packaged for shipment

I bought a Peace coin and I don't think I'll ever sell it or think of it as some kind of financial investment. I just love the coin and what it was supposed to stand for.

>>54519117
always nice to see different types near each other

I'm so unaccustomed to owning PMs and so accustomed to common coins from the past 2 decades that it feels unreal that I actually have gold and silver now.
It might never sink in fully unless things get a certain degree of bad, but obviously I hope it doesn't come to that either. Didn't FOMO into this either (wish I had and gotten more for less).

>>54521472
>>54521475
The USGS numbers are to be taken with a huge pinch of salt. PMs are of strategic importance, they do not have any incentive at telling us the truth, only at defending the government's interests.

>Maybe I should be a gold maximalist after all
How so? They say there is roughly 1:8 GSR left underground (which is just the current mining ratio really), and your conclusion is to go after the one which is priced at 1:80? You aint the best at maths bro.

>>54521627

>>54519265
I have been grabbing old Aussie coins when I can get them for an ok price on eBay. Mostly pre46 florins, occasionally smaller stuff but only in package deals. They’re about the same size as US half dollars, I think it’s almost exactly 3 florins to a 1ozt ASW.

Averaging around $22 FV equivalent in constitutional, give or take. There’s plenty of overpriced Aussie shit too but occasionally you can get decent deals

They have very strict inventory controls. There's a shop about 50 miles from me that has pretty good prices and a booming online business. I ordered some stuff from them and it came up short. Emailed the shop and they said they actually have cameras watching the fulfillment guys and sure enough, he didn't pull what I ordered. They checked their inventory and they had too many items by the same count I was owed.
They got it to me in two days. I was very happy and have continued to order from them. Haven't had another issue.

The amount of fudding and pychop bullshit is making me more and more bullish rn. Getting painfully easier to spot the more it continues

is it worth buying PMs when I don't have my own house, land, and weapons? Those seem much more important, but the barrier to entry is much higher than buying a few silver rounds here and there. Any advice to help me make it?

The amount of gold fud in recent threads and on /biz/ in general makes me want to buy as much gold as I can
Currently about 1:7 Au:Ag which I means I should get way more silver but damn I want more gold

>>54522587
its not fud, its just a gold to silver ratio gamble. 80 to 1 price ratio is still high. people dont want to buy silver because its so volatile, so the price remains low, but as au becomes prohibitively expensive as more and more institutions flock to pm (au) then normies will only really be able to afford to stack silver and the price ratio will eventually soften. but this is just a guess

>You don't need Monero shitcoin but the rest of what you said is valid.

>>54522535
Well, I mean, if you can't afford land or a house now there's no point in thinking about it. You're still better off with silver than without. This should be obvious.

The catalog is crazy. I'm thinking you boomers are onto something, but it's so hard to fomo on PMs. I'm not expecting silver or gold to go up 10x, but if it goes up like 30%, how do you sell this stuff?

When an organization is making a shipment through something like FedEx, often what will happen is they batch print labels from their label machine before the order is actually packaged and ready to go out the door.

reputable dealers on ebay are fine but expect to pay a premium price: 13% extra ebay seller fee plus the margin the seller adds to make a profit. Sniping auctions is also an option but I would say the best deals to buy at the moment are garage sales/carboot type markets. If not then just buy from reputable bullion dealers, the prices are alright for non-numismatic legal tender/government backed coins like the eagle/britannia/philharmonic/kangaroo...

So it looks like its illegal to buy antibiotics without a prescription, so I guess you would buy them like any other blackmarket drug with cash, gold, or silver face to face or you could try and get them delivered to your front porch using some e-coin. So pick your poison give your home address to a stranger online or meet one in public and make a deal.

Coordinated FUD to get more people to fall for crypto schemes. Gold is less than $50 away from a 5000 year high, and will probably hit it this week. There is a 12 year cup and handle that just completed and the breakout is imminent. I would be surprised if we don't hit $2500 this year.

Your traffic gets intercepted because the police are more online every year and you go to jail
You get robbed/assaulted because you are dumb enough to give your address to criminals
Your transactions online are traceble and permanent and you could get caught later down the road
Buying antibiotics with cash, gold, silver
Pros: untraceable
Very slim chance the person you meet is undercover since that requires an agent in the field and antibiotics don't have special task forces
You don't give your address to a criminal who may use it or sell your info to someone else to use later
You meet face to face in public lowering your chance things go badly
Cons: you have to leave your house
Third and not retarded option go to the doctor lie about having a sinus infection like I do six times a year and get some antibiotics

I just talked to my dad. I tried to get him to buy gold and silver. But it's hopeless. He's quadruple vaxxed, too. He talked about taking a vacation with his savings. I tried, multiple timis, but there is nothing I can do. Feels bad, man.

Can anyone recommend Hero Bullion? Their prices on kilos make apmex and sdbullion look like scam artists, and honestly my "too good to be true" sense is tingling. I'm talking a $70 premium on a kilo over at Hero compared to a $140 premium at apmex and sd.

>>54523369

>>54523355
He's a brainwashed boomer. Like I mentioned, he's quadruple vaxxed. I think that's all you need to know to tell. So yeah, no hope for him. I hope he'll still be able to affoad his vacation at least.

>>54523378

i guess if you have a doctor friend you could get him to rx a maintenance dose higher than you take in order to start stockpiling a years worth or something. for example if you take lisinopril 10 mg every day, have him write the script as take 2 10 mg tabs every day then you can stockpile

I already mentioned he should just tell a doctor he has a sinus infection and get antibiotics, but they don't seem to actually care about out getting antibiotics as much as they want to prove that monero is the only feasible and smart way to get them and gold, silver, or cash are the inferior or wrong way to get them.

>>54523545
i am not following his point about monero but medications have a shelf life and some of the most important medications to stockpile like pain relievers, benzos , and insulin are hardest to get/expensive/hard to store

>>54523594
Idk he came out the gate asking how is he supposed to buy life saving medicine without monero implying monero and an online black market are his only option to pay for medicine. Pain killers at least in the US you can just lie, instead of a sinus infection you have back pain and boom you got painkillers and muscle relaxers. Insulin and benzo im not sure about, and insulin has to be refrigerated right?

>>54523673
They don’t just hand out strong painkillers like they used to.

>>54523378

Absolutely refuse to pay more than 5% premium. There are usually a couple decent sales going on with old sovereign currency, but I haven't seen any good deals since the bank crisis kicked off. Francs, Sovs, and Pesos are my usual go-to.

>>54523426
THIS.
Adjusted for inflation, gold and silver are still at all time lows.

>>54523723
Gold is impractical and too cumbersome to work as sound money for day/day transactions. And silver is worthless. Crypto solved all this issues and is what will replace dollar as sound money again.

>>54523709
Last time l went to Hero bullion they asked for my drivers licence info whenever l checkout, so fuck them for that.

>>54523706
It's true they have cracked down in recent years, but you are still better off just lying about back pain to get them and let your insurance pay rather than finding a drug dealer and paying by the pill in my opinion. Unless you are looking for serious pain killers that you can't lie your way into getting and in that case I would rather befriend a nurse, pharmacist, or doctor than find some random drug dealer on the street.

Friendly reminder to ignore shills and sage shill threads.

>>54523754

>>54522432
>premiums
I like the idea of goldbacks. Hyper fractional gold you can use in every day transactions with the added cachet of being recognized as legal tender by several states.
The premiums are huge compared to gold coins, but the premiums are figured in to the exchange rate, so you don't immediately lose like you do with fractional gold bullion.
If you're patient and watch carefully, you can get GB's for under the exchange rate, which cuts the premium a lot.

>>54523785

>>54524133
Don’t worry, anon. Swore myself off of impulse buys and just ordered 8 commemorative silver dollars in the last 24 hours. Numismatics really bring spice to stacking and satiates my autism. Mindlessly stacking raw bullion is fine for adding the most weight possible but special and unique coins are in their own realm.

Don’t worry about arbitrary metrics like 500 or 1000 oz. All that matters is that week by week or year by year your personal store of wealth grows.

Not great, not terrible. One “big” (2mm, lol) piece and a bit of flour. But given that there is no indication in the literature or the interwebs that this creek has gold (though the geologic map has a few pointers), I’m happy. Guess I’ll return. It’s just 20 minutes by bike from the in laws.

>>54524202
My schizo brain tells me no matter how high the premiums are the growth of silver will nullify the ass rape. I also argue that just like the boomercoomer silver anything that has a low mintage or paperwork will hold its premium.

Long and short is that they look pretty, tell history, and I want them.

I got a strong "no" from him so l didn't ask because there is no point. He didn't listen when I explained to him that the vax is pointles at best either.

>>54522535
It depends on what you want to use your PMs for.
Personally, I plan on using my stack to purchase a house either by directly trading on for the other or by selling it to make the down payment.

>>54523378
I typical only buy in 5-10 oz range, and I know I’d have paid much less in premiums had I just waited. I just like the good feeling of going to my LCS every paycheck or so for community feeling from it all, as well as having real money. Plus the absolute lack of a paper trail is nice, which is the biggest reason I stay offline when purchasing.

>>54524175
Check /cmmg/ or /smg/ for mining stocks. This is a physical stacker neighborhood.
(The problem with SLV and stocks is they can become worthless.)

Fuck the FUDers

>>54524311
Be thankful for your based boomer shop, anon. Nearest one to me is 45 minutes and their prices and selection aren’t great. However, I am a major supporter of frequent purchases even with the heavier premiums. You keep the variety of different designs and refuse to fall for the gayest of all stacking plans where you just buy giant slabs of silver that look indistinguishable and soulless.

The FUD is unreal today.

>>54524268
>>54524301
proper prospecting right there!
What a stunning creek! I would really suggest you check the bottom of this run with a dry suit if you have one, or even just a viewer tool, this screams big gold territory.

Afternoon lads

>>54524360
I very much am, they typically don’t go more that 6 bucks an oz on premiums, he’s a really fair guy about it. And usually what cash I do have leftover I just round up with some random 90%. Interesting designs plus some remnants of a time we can hopefully return to someday. Comfy. And happy Easter /pmg/!

That pool looks interesting indeed. Maybe I’ll give it a try in summer. Cold baths are healthy, right?
Wouldn’t rule out big stuff, but since there isn’t any indication for it I doubt it. Probably better to dig in a gravel bar to bedrock before I freeze my balls off.

>>54524661
in that sort of terrain big gold wont be able to travel, even flake gold will want to sit in any good crack or hard stopping point. You have found flakes in this creek, bigger gold may be in there, but its going to be very concentrated in specific spots. You have a snipers paradise right there friend!

It's pretty solid long term, and considering the global bubble we are in, they will probably go up way more than that when the bubble pops.
In the situation where gold accounts for the supply of fiat, it'll go 35k+/ounce. See the "Hidden Secrets of Money" series by Mike Maloney on YouTube.

>>54519106

>>54525057
For me it’s not 24k. Shit is too soft to be real money. I stack Gold eagles, Krugs, and Coronas. Though I do have a 50 pesos because it’s so pretty. Buffalos are really good looking though and I do want to add one to my stack eventually.
