Bearcub, Where is the missing 10 dollars.?

Currently the coins fall under the "United States Bullion coin."

they are traded for bullion content. One could use the the silver dollars, just like the Morgan and peace. They have 1 dollar stamped on it.

One could use a twenty dollars gold Double Eagle,or one could use the 25 dollar 1/2 oz one now. But all they have to give you is 20, or 25 bucks.

I sure will. no problem.

I averaged down this weekend, and to my horror, I added up the 1/4 oz gold coins, and guess what.???
they only have 10 dollars on them

the 1/10 have 5 bucks stamped on them
1/4 have 10 bucks
1/2 have 25 bucks.

well you know the rest, if you add up 4 , 1/4 oz coins at 10 bucks , thats only 40 bucks for one oz. where is the other 10 bucks ??

the 1 oz has 50 bucks, 1 oz is 1 oz in my book. !!!

every 1/10 should be 5 bucks.

I say , the 1/4 should read 12 1/2 bucks.

The bank that my Sister runs, sell bullion coins, and there would be no problem selling your bullion coins for face, if no one else would give a bullion premium.

maybe unless a run on bank.

Gold Gold may be freely bought, held, or sold in any form, domestically or abroad, with the exception of certain sanctioned countries. Commercial banks may deal in gold bullion and gold coins. A license is not required by importers, exporters, refiners, or processors of gold. US gold coins are legal tender at face value. Commercial imports of gold jewelry are free of quantitative restrictions, but are subject to an import duty. There is no duty on gold ore, bullion, or coins, although all forms must be declared to customs.

Not the definitive source, but I'll accept it.

Try this one DoubleD.
The United States Constitution demands (to this day) that the only "legal tender" in this country be gold and silver coin (look up: Article I, Section 10, Clause 1). "Legal tender" means the form of money which you are entitled to demand, under the law, as payment of debts. Thus, gold coins are legal tender--if you can find any! But things like television sets, automobile tires and chickens, are not. If someone wants to pay you in chickens, and you agree, then all's well. But you can't be forced to accept chickens as payment of a debt. You can be forced to accept gold coins. If you can find any!
