<<IMO this is a myth. I do not believe that much gold has been bought due to Y2K - but I suspect that mind set will be foisted onto some that do otherwise own gold .. "get rid of it while you still can" >> I'd bet 3/4 of the 1/10th oz Eagles, Maple Leaves, & K-Rands sold over the last 7-12 months have been Y2k related. Good news is, the coin premium paid + trading fee make up a greater % of the total transaction price on these than the heavier coins. Thus, thus the great piles of 1/10 oz(y2k) coins are unlikely to return to the market, as the loss per coin could well run 15-20% in short term trading. TRADES in anything always cost money! It costs nothing to hold.
