I saw some videos from a few years ago about pre-33 vs modern bullion and they were saying how a disadvantage of pre-33 is that the premiums are higher. Boy, how the times have changed. You can get it at melt, sometimes even lower.

When do you think the premiums will come back?

I bought some 1 gram gold bars recently from Apmex when they were selling them at Spot. They sent me a couple goldbacks and I used them to tip the girl at the vape store (bad habit I know) I normally never tip these people bc all they are doing is ringing me up for my purchase, but they have the stupid option to tip them on their screen. I decided to finally tip them some worthless ass goldbacks. They were actually pretty excited to get em!

The gold gram at spot deal is back on Mint Builder! You can grab up to 20 gram bars at spot until they run out. I got mine already, so sharing with the rest of you.

Hey I just joined Reddit recently it’s been amazing how well represented stackers are here! I have a YouTube channel I’ve been making videos for a couple years if you’re interested in checking it out!

anybody the best place to sell gold in the Chicagoland area, have about 55g of 14k jewelry im trying to get rid of for another piece of jewelry
TIA!!!

Just acquired this late Victorian sovereign today! another one added to the collection. I’m usually not a great fan of veiled head but this one is in good shape couldn’t pass on it 😁

I’m not kidding. I’m an avid flea market/ thrift shopper and the number one thing I always look for is gold. This is my best gold find to date, but I have found quite a number of pieces of gold jewelry over the years. I figured I’d share with the sub, fellow gold lovers!

Won this in an auction a few years ago. Definitely seen better days!

Weighs around 1.67 grams

After lurking for way too long, finally bought some gold yesterday. Starting off with a Valcambri 1 oz Combi Bar and a 1/4 oz Gold Eagle. Great prices from Monument Metals. Can't wait for it to arrive :)

Hahaha, gold is already up like $90/oz since I locked in my price. This is fun.

Do you think gold is booming again ? Its the first time i see gold prices boom while oil price are increasing ? Do you think we have to buy gold now ?

Hi I started buying small grams last month . Learned my leasson quick on how to buy them now . Well as much info and advice as I can get and find. So bought some grams last month and paid 10 over spot then paid about 30 in shipping and about 40-50 in taxes. Round about prices. So I’m looking to find a place near me that sells gold so I don’t have to pay shipping and maybe not so much taxes . And insurance ect. But I can’t find a definitive answer at what’s best at this point to buy. I do t have much so I can only buy around 5-6 hundred worth every month. I keep getting different answers that I should stay with the bars or no I need to buy coins. I’m probably going to do both if I can find the right prices. But what is all your opinions on this. Please give me some insight . Thanks guys . This r/ has been so helpful so far. Appreciate everyone helping me out.

I would love to start buying gold, and especially love the idea of finding those rare hidden gems like vintage jewellery and watches that people think are costume jewellery.

But I am disabled with chronic illness so I can only shop online. It's a shame as I would love scouring markets and boot sales but I can't. On the plus side, I have a lot of time, just can't physically get out. I'm in the UK.

Is it even worth it? Does anyone have any tips and has anyone got lucky buying online?! Please share if you've ever hit the jackpot!

I'm curious about everyone's real experience.

Many traders spend hours analyzing charts, following news, and waiting for the perfect setup—yet they still lose. Others seem to achieve more consistent results.

So here's my question:

What works better in your experience?

Option 1: Trading independently, relying only on your own analysis.

Option 2: Trading as part of a community where traders share market analysis, discuss setups, and confirm ideas before opening a position.

Do you think collaborative analysis improves decision-making, or does it create more confusion because everyone has a different opinion?

I'd love to hear:

• How long have you been trading gold?
• What's your biggest lesson after losing trades?
• Do you trust trading groups, or do you prefer making every decision yourself?
• What advice would you give to someone struggling to become consistently profitable?

Let's have an honest discussion and help each other become better traders. Every experience—whether profitable or painful—can teach someone else something valuable.

Got some crypto I want to move into actual physical gold, coins or bars. What's the best way to go about it?

I am holding PAXG. Any hidden fees involved as well?

Ciao a tutti!
Non faccio parte del gruppo, però ho pensato di chiedere un parere qui perché immagino che molti di voi seguano il mercato dell’oro da parecchi anni e ne sappiano decisamente più di me.
Io investo principalmente in azioni e ETF azionari. Nel mio portafoglio tengo anche una piccola quota di oro, non enorme, semplicemente come asset rifugio e come elemento di diversificazione. Nel mio caso utilizzo un ETC, non oro fisico, ma è solo una scelta personale: non ho assolutamente nulla contro chi preferisce lingotti o monete.
Per come l’ho sempre vista io, l’oro è stato storicamente un bene rifugio, un asset abbastanza decorrelato dall’azionario e che, nel lungo periodo, tende a seguire più il valore della moneta e l’inflazione che non la crescita economica. Poi ogni tanto arrivano periodi particolari, come quello degli ultimi anni, in cui parte una bull run molto importante e l’oro si allontana parecchio da quella che sembrerebbe essere la sua “media”. Adesso sta correggendo e, personalmente, non ci vedo nulla di particolarmente sorprendente.
La domanda che volevo farvi è un’altra.
Ho 33 anni e investo da circa 13 anni, quindi qualcosa ho visto, ma sicuramente non ho l’esperienza di chi segue l’oro da decenni.
La sensazione che ho avuto negli ultimi anni è che l’oro si stia muovendo molto più spesso nella stessa direzione del mercato azionario rispetto a quanto ricordassi. Mi capita di vedere un ETF azionario globale (tipo un FTSE All-World o simili) in rialzo e, guarda caso, anche l’oro chiude positivo. Oppure viceversa.
Ovviamente non intendo dire che abbiano una correlazione perfetta, però mi sembra che quella decorrelazione così marcata che mi aspettavo sia diventata meno evidente.
È solo una mia impressione, magari influenzata dagli ultimi anni particolari? Oppure c’è qualche cambiamento strutturale che mi sfugge e che spiega questo comportamento?
Mi piacerebbe davvero sentire il parere di chi segue questo mercato da molto più tempo di me. Grazie a chi avrà voglia di rispondere!

I have some bars and coins that I bought at a gold shop but I have always had a dream to find some nuggets in Western Australia or just set up a sluice box in the Yukon somewhere over the summer. Even if I just get a couple of grams the blood sweat and tears it would have taken to find that gold would be so worth it. Is your gold mostly bought or do you have some got out of the ground yourself?
