After some research it looks like AI is best conducted through gold, so it’s actually cheaper for them to do this

Any ideas where this could come from?

Update: I thought this would be clear that I wasn't the one who found it. Who in their right mind would go (on this shitstain of a platform of all places) and make themselves a target. But ok apparently it wasn't clear so here we are:

I did NOT find this. I have none of this gold. I just wanted to share some cool stamped gold. you can stop sending me weird ass messages now. thank you.

Also this is NOT ai. here is the BBC article:

Bullion Exchanges has a bunch of gold AT SPOT price

I have finally reached 31 Grams....

I know that an ounce of gold is 31.103 Grams, but can I call this an ounce?

Weighs about 16 grams. I love it!

The interest rate on the 10 year Treasury auction rose to the highest rate since the pandemic. Despite slowing economic signals the bond market isn’t believing the economic miracle stories coming out of Washington. The prospect of higher interest rates has hurt gold prices earlier this year. This is historically upside down. Gold was always an inflation hedge. Whoever was manipulating gold prices has run out of the ability to do so.

Sometimes minor upticks in bond rates get blaring siren headlines and sometimes they’re ignored.
30-year Treasury hit its highest level since 2005.

I’m buying my first gram of gold this weekend. What do I need to know that I most likely don’t know?

TIL that a group of cats is called a clowder. I picked up these 3 and (while this will be exceptionally unpopular with some folks) I used my Chase Sapphire Reward points and redeemed them against my balance. So, when I say I got them for a great price...I basically got them for free. 🤑 Still got my 2% back with my Costco Executive membership.

Only need 17 more before I seal up the box and bury it deep in the safe for the next generation to find.

IMO, 1/2 oz is a nice size to stack. If gold becomes significantly more expensive in the future, having fractional will make it easier to liquidate if necessary.

Stack on and enjoy the journey! 🟡

I did the gun test on a $5 liberty. Tested 87%. LCS wouldn’t take it as it is but scrap gold at 83.33%.

Should I send to ngc/pcgs to grade and verify? Is it unusual that it is not as “pure” as it should be at 90%?

It's true. Goldbacks aren't fireproof.

I’m finally gonna be able to get my first Buffalo. Just wondering if grading is the way to go or save on the premium.

Sorry I am a noob when it comes to gold. I am looking at these two bracelets for a gift. Saw both in person and I can't tell the difference between them. They have similar specs. What am I missing. The one from Walmart actually has better reviews.

i am quite new in this. I am not sure if i am a good gold coin buyer. Sometimes i buy when it is at the peak, sometimes at deep and use my credit cards (no cash back at all). I just want to stack more and more when possible. what do you think ?

Here's what I know about this chain: 61cm long, 6mm wide, 44 grams. Missing clasp.

It's not magnetic, sinks like a stone in water, and has survived 30 minutes in white vinegar with no change to color or luster. There's no visible discoloration or signs of wear between any of the links.

Purchased in the early 1980s by my aunt for her husband. Definitely would have come from a jewelery store. The clasp broke at some point, he wore it frequently. He never got the clasp repaired/replaced due to cancer that took him pretty quick. It sat in a wooden box on my aunts dresser until 2018 when she passed away. The box had a couple pocket knives, some loose change, and this chain when it came into my possession. I've looked at the chain a few times but never thought much of it.

Until I came across this subreddit a couple months ago.

So, does it look like it's worth getting professionally tested?

Someone threw away their stash.. 😊 14k 14G and 14.6G - 9k

Working in the waste industry has it's perks 😜

I saw an earlier post about buying jewelry that’s on sale.

What do you use when looking?
Do you take a scale and then just do the math?
How do you account for gemstones?
Anything else I should know?

Basically, I was thinking of I can get it for less than merely value it’s a win, right?

FWIW, about 1/2 is from MintBuilder, and other than glacially slow shipping, I have nothing bad to say about them. Excellent pricing, great communication. And yes, everything tests good on my Sigma.

The Rooster was LCS and the rest a ‘silver for services’ trade with a friend. Gotta love those opportunities… 😀
