The people of this country did nothing when the government mandated masks and lockdowns. What exactly are the same people going to do when the government says we are going digital, turn in your cash for the CBDC because next month it will be worthless? People are going to comply like sheep.

As I mentioned in an earlier post there is a massive disconnect between the 'spot' price and physical gold - coins in particular - they may as well be two different entities. Waiting for the spot to drop in order to pick up some bargain bullion is a fools game. Any physical (coins in particular) that comes near spot is getting grabbed. Why? Because peopled are cottoning on to the worthless fiat currency (not money) that we are awash with. Physical gold/property is the only real store of value. Make of that what you will.

The people of Oxfordshire are fools to accept such nonsense. Or, perhaps they'll let the process start and then violently revolt ?

"Show me your Papers!"

According to data compiled by the World Gold Council, central banks globally added another 31 tons of gold to official reserves in October. Taking the premiums into account there still seems to me a big disconnect between the quoted global spot price and the actual retail price/demand of physical gold. So is paper gold (etf's) anywhere near the real thing or just a massive con to manipulate the price and is it actually worth the paper it's written on?

Nigeria Limits ATM Withdrawals To $45 Per Day To Force Govt-Controlled Digital Payments How will the Nigerian Prince that keeps wanting to give everyone in the US millions of dollars get his money?

CBDC is not currency. The most accurate equivalent is a ration card because it's purpose is to restrict purchases.

Of course, now or even come the digital apocalypse, you won't be able to exchange a gold sovereign for a trolley full of groceries in Tesco. Why would you even try? But not too far away an intermediary will want your gold and you will simply exchange a small portion for the current mode of currency, exactly what we do now - that's how it has been for thousands of years - the allure of the yellow metal will not go away just because we might have some digital dystopian system forced upon us. Beware the naysayers that say your precious gold will be worthless - they are either jealous or are indeed themselves the temple moneychangers in disguise. Remember that we are not just dealing with a physical entity here; gold has magical properties beyond its fiscal worth, that is why we are drawn to it, that is why it is coveted. Keep the faith and keep the gold. Keep stacking and hold till the end!!!

Could be wrong but no 1898 double eagle I know of had a cc (carson city) mint mark? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404025277957?hash=item5e11c87e05:g:xtYAAOSwvm1jh37e

Picked up a little beauty this week. I really like the eagle - not sure of the revamped Lady Liberty though - looks like she's been smoking something funny to me.

Can't find a way at the moment....

At some point I will start to sell some USA Double Eagles - but where in the UK? 1. Online auction. I've noticed these coins are fetching good prices at online sales nationally but the commission is eye watering. Plus the time scale is forever. 2. Back to the bullion dealer. c**p price for my beautiful pre -1933 California gold babies. 3. On this forum. No idea cos I'm new here. 4. I won't even mention eBay. Ooops I did.

Not from America just grey old UK - but I do like my Double Eagles. Thought I'd hang out - see what all the fuss is about!

I've used these people in the past no problem - recently though I've noticed an additional £33 'Customs Declaration' charge has popped up - which is a dealbreaker for me . Anyone experienced this?
