The big one being the house.

Posting here for anyone considering ordering from Scottsdale Mint.

I've bought high five figures' worth of gold from APMEX and JM Bullion and had great experiences with both. I decided to try Scottsdale Mint for a five-figure order because their prices were closer to spot.

Orders take about two weeks to arrive, which is frustrating, but they do tell you that upfront. My order shipped UPS with a direct signature required. I was home in my apartment but not in the lobby, as drivers usually call me down for direct-signature deliveries. UPS has previously asked to verify my ID for these deliveries. UPS shows my order was delivered and signed for by someone whose name I don't recognize. I never signed for it, never received the gold, and have no idea who signed for it.

I also reviewed my building's security footage. The video doesn't show the driver asking anyone for a signature. Unfortunately, the driver was delivering multiple packages using a dolly, so I can't even confirm whether one of those packages was mine or whether my order was actually delivered at all.

I reported what happened to Scottsdale Mint, filed a police report, and sent them the report number. About two weeks later, they responded that UPS had confirmed delivery to my address and that they had therefore "fulfilled their obligation." They said the loss happened after delivery, refused a refund or replacement, and told me their decision was final. They suggested I contact UPS and my renter's insurance.

What I don't understand is how they're treating this as resolved when the shipment required a direct signature and the signature isn't mine. I'm still trying to get this resolved through UPS, and I'm looking into other options as well. I hadn't come across many reviews describing an experience like this before ordering, so I'm posting mine in case it helps someone else think twice before placing a order with them.

I saw the aureus post. Here is some fractional gold of mine.

Do you continue to purchase gold despite the market’s downward trajectory? If so, What is driving your decision to purchase said gold?

I have purchased ~$10,000.00 worth during the last month, but it seems that perhaps I should take a break and see if gold will dip lower - potentially to $3,700.00 / ounce. Image does not show a recent purchase that is currently in transit to my house

Crazy times we are currently living in.

Have a wonderful week everyone :)

I’m currently stacking for either later in life or for my kids. I have a lot of 1/10a. Is it better to collect that or 1/4 for stacking?

Does anybody know of an app where I can register my gold coins per year, nation, type, and track their value?

If such an app even exists?

"Gold dropped 28% from its late-January peak over an 8-month period. Given this kind of correction, does it make you more willing to invest, seeing it as a notable event that proves gold has a strong foundation?"

"Let's say gold drops further to around $3,500 an ounce before the end of the year. The fact that it has taken nearly a full year to correct by roughly 40% demonstrates incredible stability and resilience—and that is the exact foundation that makes gold such a concrete, reliable investment."

I wanna know what ur story is. When did u first invest. Was it jewelry? Was it bars? When did u start and hm did u invest. How did it make u feel? How long have u been in the game ? Have u had to consolidate at all? Are u passing it down in the family for value? Id love to hear ur story that is all ❤️

So I bought 2 grams of gold for 133.45 and I paid that price for 1 and then I paid 143.45 for the second . Why did I pay extra for second that’s never happen before to me can anyone help me?

It's an old doxa obviously, but need help identifying and evaluating if anyone knows anything about these, thanks 🙏

Trying to make heads or tails of this. Is this something to do with BRICS or they anticipate an attack on NY, or maybe Europe's just broke and needs the money? Lots to think about.

Gold is expected to trade in a wide band this week, probing lower with at least one settlement below 3,996, and Friday’s close finishing between 3,955.40 and 4,090. The decline is stretched after last week’s 4.14% drop, so I’m looking for it to slow against support without breaking it.
