Have you seen the TV commercials asking people to send in their old unwanted, or broken gold and silver jewelry? I must have seen that commercial 6 times in 1.5 hours. They pay you for it after they appraise it and send it straight to the mint.

I guess they think gold is going up if they are doing this, or playing on cash struck people.

Have you ever sold any gold bullion coins? (Kruggerrands, Maple Leafs, etc.)

If you have, would you mind telling in detail where and how you did it, and how you were paid?

People talk all the time about buying gold, but no one ever talks about selling it. Or rather, they do talk about selling it, but when you ask in particular, they really don't have any experience of having done so. Sometimes they insult you for asking a stupid question, but they don't answer the question.

Realize you are a coin dealer but most know that mints being unable to produce enough coins had nothing to do with a shortage of physical metal but rather with their productive capacity to being able to produce a sufficient number of coins.

To take that fact and morph it into a shortage of physical gold or silver does not seem smart.

To pay a 30% premium to make any investment does not seem very smart either.
