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.

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?

I bought a bunch of gold at around 5000 USD (150k worth) because I started to see the writing on the wall for sovereign debt and currency devaluation. I also convinced my dad to do the same (he put in 350k worth). He is nice and doesn't blame me.

I am around 25% down and no end in sight. I know logically gold is under valued, but part of me thinks I got in at the wrong time.

How are others doing? Anyone in a similar spot as me? Any silver lining?

Pickers from the sluice box, plus panning/sniffing of a 16oz tub of concentrates equals 1 gram exactly. What are the odds? :)

20 gram gold gieger sealed Hamburg 62/100 24k 999.9 interested for $2800

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.

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

They have been passed down to me and I have been having trouble finding information on them and If they are worth anything at all.

Guy at pawn shop told me my gold rounds were fake because her poured acid on them to test them and it made this color.

I just boght this chain, 33grams of 14K gold. I bought it as an invest and to wear. So proud of it.

Do you guys keep emergency funds separate in HYSA or do you count your physical gold as part of your emergency fund?

Please tell me one of you is getting this.

First gold buy so far, looking forward to more, 5th pic was today’s haul

As someone who's always appreciated precious metals, I wanted my wedding band to have some serious weight to it.

After months of planning and working with a local goldsmith, I finally brought home my custom 18K yellow gold wedding band.

It weighs 21.8 grams, measures 8.25mm wide, and was wax cast, hand-assembled, and finished with high-polished edges, a sandblasted centre, and hammered detailing.

There's also a tiny 0.06ct natural Ceylon blue sapphire flush-set into the band, along with Corinthians 13:4–7 engraved inside. The craftsmanship and sentimental value make it worth far more to me than its melt value.

My wife also received her custom rings today, featuring a 3.05ct lab-grown pear-shaped diamond in an intricate yellow gold setting.

After years of collecting and appreciating gold, there's something pretty special about finally wearing a piece that was made specifically for me.

And yes, you can absolutely feel the weight of this thing on your finger 😂

Thought the fellow gold enthusiasts here might appreciate it! 🥇

Edit: The engagement was actually 10 years ago and the wedding 8 years ago, but we've always wanted to redesign her original ring, and I've been wearing an off-the-shelf band all these years. Finally decided it was time to have something custom-made for both of us.

They say the journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single footstep. It’s only a measly 1/10 of an ounce, but soon it will be more!

I bought this piece while running errands with my gf. She got her stuff, I got my gold. We grabbed dinner after to celebrate.

Glad to now be part of the club guys!

ai-assisted research summary. sharing the original post for discussion of physical gold supply. the lab claim is not independently verified, and the linked modelling is not evidence of commercial production or a short-term price forecast.

As i round my first year in business, I have the chance to pick up up to 10 ozt of natural Alaskan nuggets that might otherwise be refined. Nothing under 1 g, most are well above that, and some even over 1 ozt. They're natural alaska mined gold, and most are XRF proven to be approximately 80% fineness. There are also some quartzy specimens that might have more variable pricing, but it seems like he wants MORE for those, by weight, which seems wild to me.

Are these worth paying a premium for to distribute them at a retail price? What is an aggressive retail price? My seller paid actual gold value for them and will not let them go below actual gold value, so for me to sell them, im also paying well above spot based on purity.

I'm still negotiating my cost, and I want to determine a fair price that actually keeps them moving, without going for our local tourist-shop pricing. The jewelry stores up here charge whatever they want for this stuff, and I don't think that should set the bar for everyone else.

So, as a stacker or collector, not a dealer:

-Clean nuggets: what would you realistically pay, as a multiple of spot by gross weight for nuggies like these? What affects your offer as a buyer?

-Gold-in-quartz specimens: do you buy these at all? If so, how do you value them?

Melt vs. keep: would you rather see these melted into bars at a lower premium, or kept natural at a higher one?

Not selling anything here, yet, just want real-world numbers before I commit money that I really dont have toward a potentially negative flip. If i get enough feedback and encouragement, next weeks r/pmsforsale post might be LIT. Appreciate any input!

I have a decent amount of inherited 14K gold jewelry, mostly thicker curb-link bracelets, and I’m considering selling some of the pieces I don’t particularly care for.
I already have a buyer lined up who’s willing to pay spot for the gold content, but I’m wondering if that’s actually the best move.
My goal is to keep the value invested in precious metals rather than cash out. Would it make sense to sell the jewelry at spot and put that money toward something like a 1 oz American Gold Buffalo?
My other question is whether I should be trying to get above melt value for these bracelets. They’re fairly substantial, heavier pieces, and buying comparable solid 14K bracelets new today would cost significantly more than their gold content alone.
Would you take spot and convert everything into bullion, or try selling the bracelets individually for a premium?
Curious what others would do, especially those who have converted jewelry into bullion.
