Timely payday delivery of this little prospector. Recently came across this Alaska Gold token at a local coin show and decided I needed to have one. The tokens were issued by Jules Charbneau at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, held in Seattle in 1909. Three tokens were issued in denominations of 1/4, 1/2, and 1DWT, which is an abbreviation for pennyweight. The design features an Alaska miner with a pick swung over his shoulder and a shovel and gold pan beside his legs. The reverse has a wreath, shield, and denomination. The token is .500 fine "pure Alaska gold" according to the original advertisements. The original three-token sets sold for a whopping $3! Now to pick up the matching ½ and 1 tokens to complete my set. Sadly it will cost far more than $3 to acquire them.

Finally got them encapsulated. pair of 1894 Gold Eagles

1921 high relief Peace dollar:

Yes indeed! Who said Latin was boring?
Here's a better view at the gold.
They are 4 10 Gulden coins, with all four versions of Wilhelmina, heir to the throne as early as 11 years old. The two with heads up are from 1897 and 1898, the other two are from 1911 and 1925 showing the backside. 
There is also one golden Dubbele Dukaat. The weight is close to 1/4 oz, and the 10 Guldens closer to 1/5 oz.

everyone has a right to their opinion. everyone else has a right of opinion to
laugh at your opinion.
to be taken seriously, stop making predictions that are a complete joke.

In my opinion this thread should have been closed and Wonger banned a long time ago.
A different viewpoint is one thing. This thread is not that.

The Fakedemic is, amongst other things (introducing slavery, aka NWO) a cover up for the reset. Already last year, I wrote on the silver forum about an expert that predicted the start of the economic collapse for 2020, since 2018 - Markus Krall, the guy who created the internal stress tests for 80% of German and 50% of the banks in the Eurozone - so hardly a random doomsday prophet.
If we get socialism aka slavery - and this is what the fakedemic is all about - the economic output will be tiny for as long as slavery lasts. Of course if this attempt is succesfull ALL assets lose value however as said - the fakedemic is also a cover up for the reset - so before full scale slavery the dollar would collapse and thus the very specific prediction of gold in Dollars is ridiculous. Also, he doesn't really believe what he says - he doesn't put his money where his mouth is. He declined a bet about his predictions on the basis that something I said about the FED would be wrong. AND - he is not to be seen here, when gold rises.

I do not understand why people are making fun of a man's opinion.
This thread was started in March, when gold price took a small dive. And maybe, under "normal" economical circumstances, the price would have gone even lower for a short while.
But let's remember what happened in the mean time:
- PPP(payroll protection program)
- stimulus checks
- eviction moratoriums
- unemployment benefits
The FED alone expanded their balance sheet by 3 trillion dollars. Not to mention other central banks.
All that new, cheap money had to go somewhere. And some "assets" went up in value, some didn't. It could have been, gold, silver, pharma stocks, technology stocks, real estate or any other class of asset. There is a chart on the FED site that shows a dramatic increase in home "ownership" in the US in the last few months. And I use quotes because if you took a loan to buy a house, you don't actually own it, in the full sense of the word.
Wonger may be proven right, after all. Because, let's not forget what gives value to gold. It's people's thrust that it will hold it's purchasing power, even after some major economic changes. And why should it? Can it feed the masses, or even a small group of people? Can it cure diseases? NO.
When push comes to shove, the majority of population will choose to live in a (fiat-driven) socialistic environment, even a communist one, where there is a sense of equality, over any other kind of regime, where previous PM savers have a (big) head start. So gold will have little value, at least for the first few decades of the new regime, and it will only be accessible to only a few people in the higher ranks. Not to mention the risk of confiscation.
Also, I hear a lot of PM stackers on Youtube that they will be able to use their coins/bars to barter essentials like water or food. In a near Mad Max scenario, you won't be able to do so because either it has already been stolen from you, or your "precious" metals will worth far less in the eyes of those who will be able to produce/procure goods.

Just because it's rare, does not mean it's valuable. And the perfect example for this is gold's neighbor on the periodic table, platinum. Platinum is over 10 times more rare than gold, and for the first decade of this millennium, it was slightly more expensive than gold. But when it's real life (industrial/auto) application switched to other metals, it's price started lagging.

So let's not make fun of a person for having an opinion and/or sticking to it. We may all be right, or we may all be wrong. Only time(s) will tell.

The USA Jefferson nickel (5 Cents) replaced the earlier 'Buffalo' design in 1938, and featured the third US president Thomas Jefferson, all of the coins were made from copper-nickel until 1942 when the USA needed nickel for its war industry, the nickel content was replaced by .350 silver and manganese, it was found this combination did not effect their use in the various slot machines, some mints carried on with the copper-nickel 'recipe' through the war.
The silver coins can be distinguished from the copper-nickel ones by having the mint mark of the state that made them above the Whitehouse, if it does not have a letter there it isn't silver, mine is a P for Philadelphia US mint, D for Denver and S for San Francisco were others making them.
Production of the silver content coins ended in 1945 at the end of the war.
A monster 271,165,000 of my coin were minted by Philadelphia in 1943 alone, the highest production year and total of all the mints for the 'war nickels' as they were known.
Shame the photo does not show all the mint lustre on this one.
 


 

More from Grumpy Coinster's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK stop obsessing about closing out your position. I agree, it's different to hedging. It's irrelevant anyway; a closed position can easily be re-opened.
You still haven't addressed my primary point about once you start hedging you are effectively locking in your loss. Simply trying to muddy the water and trying to bamboozle me with option traders' jargon doesn't wash.

Quod erat demonstrandum!
I have never really expected to get an ounce of gold from you, however I have expected you to make up a lousy excuse to avoid the bet.
There was an act in 1913 that enabled the FED. That's why I said it was - enabled by the government and thus has state elements (apart from other state elements that I didn't even mention). The FED still relies on the government's enablement today. The FED is NOT and never was a purely private entity. It's a classical corporatist entity, held by private individuals, enabled and empowered by the state - because the private individuals lobbied at the state to get - state guaranteed privileges and thus has STATE ELEMENTS.
Anyway, that doesn't really matter in the context of our non-bet. You have shown you don't put your money where you mouth is. That's all I really wanted you to do. I'm sure you will have an answer to this too. I don't care and I might not respond, because as funny as it was, it's getting tiresome,  @Eco ah sorry, I mean @Wonger .

seems wonger is going all out as we approach $1900.
as I said previously, you would have made far more money doing the polar opposite of what he suggested to date so best ignore him.

So we could both hedge our bets. And? Is this a reason not to enter the bet in first place? I won't hedge it because it would unnecessarily reduce my gain - one troy ounce of gold. As predicted you keep coming up with new reasons why you shouldn't enter the bet. I have also asked you to explain your quote below, I don't think you know what it means, yourself. It was a clarification question about my restriction (bet void in case of a revaluation of the Dollar). So please expand on this:

Being in america i know that nobody seems to care about the debt clock till democrats get in then they are crazybabout the debt whichis mostly republican made, you will almost never hear about debt under republicans, the second dems get in were all going to go bankrupt.

No, you've posted claims that you're shorting.  No screenshots of the trades themselves.
Because they're fictional?  Or because they're so far in the red?

I was thinking the same. I have about 800 ozs of physical silver which I bought for investment purposes 3-4 years ago. I keep looking on TSF and can’t believe how many folk are selling. I understand that dealers have to to earn a living, but I have kept all of my powder dry. My price target for selling is not even close yet...If I can afford to hold out I will.
Eric Sprott did an interesting post market wrap up on Friday with Craig Hemke (on YouTube). He is getting some of the gold miners he owns to use the huge amounts of free cash flow they are generating to buy physical silver, and is encouraging others in the industry to do the same. I know First Majestic have been doing this for some time. Huge numbers of contracts are now standing for delivery...we are hopefully in for a very interesting few months...let’s hope we see $50 silver soon!

I take it @Wonger you were behind this?

So get ready everyone - to back up the "TRUCK" and load up on cheap Gold! 😉👍
