[WTS] 1/1 Silver Giveaway!! & Batch of 1oz Hand-Poured Silver Bricks!
PROOF Hey everyone! After plenty of trial and error, failed pours, and remelts, I've finally finished a first batch of shiny bricks! There is still a lot I'd like to improve on, but I thought I'd offer these first few up. Each brick is individually poured, pressed, stamped, and hand-finished. All have tiny serial numbers on the top. Take a look at the texture on the back also! SN 001 is a bit more unique, and most are on the heavy side ;) To celebrate the first batch, I'm also giving away a one-of-one brick!
Slabbed gold this time: my aureus of Emperor Nero, minted around 66 AD. Graded NGC Choice XF 4/5 strike, 5/5 surface. Coin possible came from the Boscoreale hoard
I'm not a fan of the slab, but I'll keep Nero in his plastic prison for the time being. I picked up this coin a few months ago. Pedigree: Leu Numismatic, auction 12, lot 1062 (2022) From the collection of Dipl.-Ing. Adrian Lang, ex Hirsch 279, 8 February 2012, 2310 and Aufhäuser 13, 7-8 October 1997, 304, and very likely from the Boscoreale Hoard of 1895. submitted by /u/AppropriateFennel929 [link] [comments]
Lil backstory & 1st time buyer
Told an uncle way back in the mid 90s I was gonna stack gold. Long story short he said it was the worst idea ever; I valued his opinion and never bought a grain. This uncle passed last week which got me thinking of picking up some kinda 1/4oz in remembrance. Been looking at coins/bullion online & found a highly reviewed LCS, likely where I'll buy from. Guess my question is are there any recommendations of what to look for or get? submitted by /u/Selfishin [link] [comments]

Found these gold coins
About a year ago my grand mother passed awag and I was going through some boxes and I found these gold coins. Are they worth anything? Or just their weight in gold? (Google is telling me about 4500 a piece but that’s just because of their weight. I also found a gold omega which was my great, great grandfather’s. Mostly excited about that. Not to sell, but to have. submitted by /u/Ndocds [link] [comments]
America Still Books Its GOLD At $42.22 An Ounce: Ronnie Stoeferle
The United States still carries its gold reserves at $42.22 an ounce. Ronnie Stoeferle of Incrementum puts the gap to market prices at about $1.1 trillion, and asks the obvious question: would you still value a house you bought in the 1970s at 1970s prices? He points to Italy in 2002 and South Africa in 2024 as countries that have revalued their gold, and calls it a silent recapitalisation of balance sheets.

Kazakhstan to reduce gold to 75% of its FX reserves
Kazakhstan Starts Gold Sales as Treasuries Burnish Dollar Appeal By Nariman Gizitdinov Bloomberg News Monday, October 12, 2026 Kazakhstan's central bank is switching from being one of the world's biggest buyers of gold to a seller, as high Treasury yields reinforce the need to rebalance its reserves. Heavy central-bank buying has helped drive gold sharply higher in recent years, but the rally has stumbled as surging bond yields erode the appeal of the non-yielding metal.
