Well,
Gold stamped with .9999 purity or 9.999 I’ll take either one!
The Swiss like to ID their AU like WGN does. My PAMP bar in plastic below…
Last time I looked S Korea has a super duper economy compared to its cousin to the North!?…
Inflation? I don’t follow our friends over there, maybe they use the same model that our current leader, Mr Ponzi, and Mr Powell enjoy—Print Print Print!!

Yes! And while you’re out and about doing a little shopping, pick yourself up a Gold Bar from the Vending Machine, No joke!

Sorry Kaiser, I didn’t mean to complicate things. They are using the 1794 obverse and reverse for the upcoming Flowing Hair design (230 years later). The 1795 coin Improves on the 1794 design of the original coins. The 1804 dollar improves leaps above those in design and execution on the coin. I was agreeing I like the 1804 design and just suggesting that 2029 would be the 225th anniversary of that coin so it might be a good candidate for a classic remake in 2029.

ECG,

Maybe my brain operates differently than yours because I usually buy products that have upside potential at a price that I consider to be reasonable. When I say ‘upside potential’ I don’t mean instantaneously, as a coin flipper would want, but gradually over time. And when I say ‘reasonable’ I mean less than $1000 (way less) for their premium over spot for Au. The mint has taken the value out of most of their items, thus I have yet to purchase any coins from them this year. I don’t disparage anyone for buying what they want regardless of the price, but for me, it’s a good time to look at some of the classics in both Au and Ag. I suppose since I’ve always paid my fair share of taxes, just giving them more (high premiums) is just egregious to me. BTW ECG, those libertads for $400, were they from the mint or on a coin website?

Kaiser, good question. One part of the brain is a collector and will blindly over pay for something. The US Mint relies on those folks of which I have fallen victim to many a time. Other part of the brain looks for value in which I also buy bullion and the spread on that between purchase and sell back price is very small. However, who wants to look at a billion coin? Sort of boring. Thus, I end up doing a little bit of both. Human nature.

Guru – I like the 1795 design better than the 1794 and that 1804 is a big leap forward in quality of design. They had to use the 1794 since this was the first and is the celebration anniversary year. I guess they could have used the 220th anniversary of the 1804 and used that design. Maybe we’ll see that one on its 225th anniversary in 2029.

I’d like to pose an “ask” of you all. The next time you get the mints new white plastic envelope with your coins that can easily be crushed –

Please go to mint website and choose customer service at bottom – then go to contact us and scroll down until you see an “fill out a contact us form” and you’ll see a way to enter your order number and complain please.

We’ve enough plastic in the environment and the cardboard boxes did an excellent job to protect.

I know the mint is on a budget and they aren’t charging that much for their products (sarcasm) but I’d really like to see the boxes again.

Rick, I got several of the BU bachelor spouses coins. AUs rise has made them a good investment though many still poo poo the series. I loaded up on Jackie’s as a lot did. Eleanor had a nice premium, but now no, as I have always said w AU popping, the non intrinsic value diminishes or goes Aloha….
But, you can get ~~~> The only Seated Liberty GOLD by the USM, Flowing hair…..Bust….so,cool…and the boxes, I got many empty coins in the Safety Deposit box, got lucky and got a larger one, very heavy w Ag bars tho….
Reading a book on Jackson, his wife died before he was sworn In1828……

Agreed on the Spouse Liberties, I really enjoy the classic obverses regardless of values, albeit pretty good with the spot boosts! I’ve got a couple of PF & Unc -70 sets in the coffers.
Here’s a raw one before it was sent in.
PS: back in the day they made quality OGP boxes – Magic Mike approved!
