That is why I found the near flat overall adjusted production for AU so VERY telling for a 6 month period year over year. Looks like the big boyz are gearing up for a greater production, but if demand increased by a greater rate then it will be needed, & demand seems to be improved. Also, seems a large part of any increased production for the biggest players will be coming from takeovers.

93 tons - less whatever other producers reduce or add - it may be 'macro' - but gets lost in the CB action.

One recent trend I've seen in gold does really worry me. It is the lack of regard in newer jewelry buyers toward junk. Has anyone else seen the ugly 10K junk? There is also a sizeable trend toward putting stainless in many of the "extra holes" folks are putting in their bodies - disturbing!

Misprinted U.S. coin makes a mint at auction
August 8, 2000

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Heads, it's a quarter. Tails, it's a dollar. Together, it is worth more than its weight in gold.

A gold coin featuring the front of a George Washington quarter and the back of the new Sacagawea dollar coin has sold for $31,050 at auction.

The coin sold in 15 seconds Sunday to a bidder whose name is not being released, said Bob Korver, director of Heritage Numismatic Auctions.

Only four such misprinted coins are known to have been sent into circulation. Another of the coins previously sold on the online auction house eBay for $41,395.

The error is believed to be the first of its kind in the 208-year history of the U.S. Mint. It is known by collectors as a "double-denomination mule error" -- two currencies stamped on different sides.

The golden-colored Sacagawea coins were introduced in January. They depict the young Shoshone Indian woman who accompanied explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to the Pacific Ocean in 1805.
