Have same concern….in any event, sales of the ’24 UNC seem to be almost at a standstill…are collectors losing interest in this rendition of the ASE? The 2025 UNC is coming out in a few weeks. The ’25 may yet be a mintage low.

SERIOUSLY????? And what would you call the previous 4 years? Or the last 30 years, for that matter? You finally have an individual who is trying to right a sinking ship and you expected correcting the blunders would be smooth sailing? This may be painful, but if successful, at least you will have a country standing on the principles of our founders.
Give it a chance. The alternative was to end up sunken into the quagmire of socialistic communism.

Rick,

Sorry to hear about your Mom’s state of health. My late Mom was also affected by Alzheimers disease so I know what you and your family are going through. I have to say with her penchant for gold and silver, you might’ve thought about buying her a nice small safe to keep all those coins secure. You might want to buy a metal detector and thoroughly scan her yard to make sure she didn’t bury any coins. She sure sounds like an interesting lady!

“and Cag I thought you wanted USM to halt gold sales”

Absolutely.

I have advocated that position for years and years and years.

I wanted the Mint to get out of the Gold business with a position of strength. The Mint has, for the past three years, trended out from a position of weakness.

Same results for the Mint.

Different results for the collector.

Long overdue from an investment point of view…

Best I can tell, ETFs do not own all the physical gold that backs their “investment product”, they lease gold from various central banks around the world, to include the US holdings, leased by the FED….I consider ETFs nothing more than Bitcoin, etc…..Wall Street has found a way to cash in on commodities. Lots of “experts” state that when all the physical gold claimed to be in possession of Central Banks around the world is totaled, then all stated physical gold backing ETFs is added, exceeded known physical gold in existence is surpassed. I am sure what is in my hands is real….

I’m feeling the age thing creeping in as well.
Thank you.

Then, grabbing a tool in the garage, we found 3 rolls of 1/10 oz AGE’s(15oz’s)under a rag — oops, I forgot…
Me and my BIL are going to see her next week, I’m driving & he’s flying. And sadly, it might be one of those “take the car keys” away moments. I’m dreading it. We’re going to give her some ideas on how to stealthily store some of it, and take some with for safe keeping, she’ll need it soon enough.
She did give us the 3 x 1/10 oz rolls as a gift. Nice lady…

Needless to say, my Sis and I are getting concerned about her. Why? One reason is her memory is giving out. She, as a part time stacker, it’s not ideal. Last year she put a couch out on the sidewalk(free), a neighbor picked it up, and promptly gave her the 1oz Gold coin that she stashed(forgot) inside a pillow case. Nice guy. We went to help her inventory her stack, and helped do some chores. When done, we found a pile of cash under a carpet runner –oops, I forgot…
