After a fairly good mid-month perfoemance for the precious metal market, which seemed to signal an upturn, things went south again last week. Most of the benchmark metals fell and in some cases the decline was dramatic. Given the unexciting track record of equities over the same period it’s hard to be sure exactly what […]
Why does my Gold Eagle not have a date? What year is my Gold Eagle, it’s not listed? What does MCMLXXXVI mean? These are all common questions we receive at Golden Eagle, and the answer to all of them is the same. When the United States Mint began producing American Gold Eagle Coins, they decided […]
Finally it’s good news right across the board for precious metal investors, with all the main commodities rising in price last week. That’s especially welcome for gold and silver, but the platinum group did well too. Couple that with generally good results in other market sectors and it looks like a real recovery might be […]
Just in time for the holidays, 2015 Chinese Silver Pandas are available for pre-order! These coins come individually wrapped in plastic capsules and are the only bullion series coin that changes its design every year. Orders in increments of 30 will come in mint-sealed plastic sheets and orders of 600 come in mint-sealed “Monster Boxes.” […]
If you look at early gold and silver coins you’ll notice that a great deal of them have a smooth rim – or at least a rim without any ridges (technically called “reeds”). This is most often found in very old coins that come from an era when minting practicing weren’t as refined as they […]
Last week saw the precious metals market looking much healthier than it did in the preceding period. While the platinum group saw dips across the board nothing fell significantly – not even silver, which has been struggling badly for the last few months. In fact both silver and gold managed to gain. The overall economic […]
Given how many fountains adorn the malls across America, the question of “Why” we have that tradition isn’t often asked. Children grow up tossing coins into fountains and are taught at a young age to make a wish as they do it. In most cases, even the parents don’t know why we have this tradition – […]
Overall we’d have to say that last week wasn’t a good one for precious metal investors, with the exception of a limited recovery in the gold spot price. Apart from that all the major commodities were down, and gold’s upwards tick wasn’t enough to make up for that despite greater volumes. The long bear market […]
Last week was another very mixed bag for precious metal investors. Once again we saw falls in the key gold and silver prices, and these were a lot bigger than the preceding period. In fact silver in particular is back in as much trouble as it seemed to be in early October. On the other […]
Coin collectors always have one eye on the bullion value of their coins and may also directly collect bullion in the form of gold, silver and platinum coins and bars. The last few weeks have been turbulent times indeed for all kinds of investors. Cryptocurrencies collapsed, and now seem to be reviving, thanks in part […]
Gold & Silver Market 11-23-2015
The precious metals sector was confusing last week, with a mixed bag of performances and no clear pattern visible. The two big investment items, gold and silver, didn’t show a lot of movement. Neither did platinum, while palladium managed to rise. With the equities markets also rising quite strongly, propelled mostly by gains in defense […]
Gold & Silver Market 11-17-2015
Once again there were disappointing results right across the precious metals sector last week, although the scale of losses varied. Overall it was a worrying period, because metals managed to lose ground even though the equities markets fell heavily. Normally we’d have expected to see metals make a lot of ground in these market conditions, […]
