The Vaultbox X release had 10 high end coins that you “could” have won! It was an AU55. I saw photos and it looked pretty beat up “worn” for an AU 55, that’s just my opinion. The NGC Cert # if you’d like to look it up is………….oops, the photo they showed of it had the Certification Number blanked out! I wonder why? Maybe you’d have to be a criminal to know why. Are there any criminals on here that would know why this happened, lol? 😉

Well, as always, Good Luck ALL!!!

Thanks Cag, wow ETF sucking up all the gold investors it seems, especially anyone not knowledgeable or who can’t hold Au safely. Odd bars up, official sovereign coinage down, must be the richly Rich stocking gold bars, much easier to sell say a AGE, Krand v. bars, although nowadays when I sell regardless he LCS uses a PM verifier to make sure it’s real, didn’t even care about COA w Pd bars, once scanned and confirmed as Pd….l

John Q Coinage had asked “Cag have you any #$ on say Mplf and Other sales, Krand silver….”

My reply on 04/24/2025 was “There are no numbers yet released for Q12025”
 
Those numbers for Q125 have now been released so I will make a comparison of just Q424 vs. Q125 on a worldwide basis:

Q42024:

Gold bars = 236.6 tonnes
Gold official coins = 53.5 tonnes
Medals/Imitation coins = 35.8 tonnes
ETFs and similar products = 18.7 tonnes
Total for Q42024 = 344.7 tonnes

Q12025:

Gold bars = 257.6 tonnes Up 9%
Gold official coins = 45.2 tonnes Down 16%
Medals/Imitation coins = 22.6 tonnes Down 37%
ETFs and similar products = 226.5 tonnes Up 1114%
Total for Q12025 = 551.9 tonnes Up 60%
