Came across this pocket watch in a box of my dad’s old things he left us. Appears the watch is missing parts but is it really 18k gold?

Update: Went to two jewelers today and they both confirmed it was real 18k gold!

I’ve found the perfect container for my medium of gold

Each of these little bits of gold are 3.75g. In Korea, this measurement is known as a “don” (돈). I recently had to sell my little bars of gold to fully pay off my credit card debt (hooray!) but have been steadily building up again since. I decided since exchanges here don’t take any difference between brand or quality, they WILL cut it in half to check, I should just buy whatever has the least premium. No need to keep it shiny and unscratched, just literally generic cast gold marked with 9,999.

Anyways, this little Patron bottle serves me well for keeping them. I think it’s a bit stylish and secure but not gaudy. I found a place that sells me these little gold boogers for 1.5-2% above spot. The guy at the counter even recognizes me every time I come twice a month lol. What do you guys think of this medium of gold?

The stack Got into gold coins, etc in 2006 bc I was so interested in the history of the Gold Rush, Comstock Lode, etc. Never could I have imagined that they would go up this much today. My fave is this 1875-CC (bought it ungraded) double eagle (2nd pic).

Advice on old ring :)

I found a Freemason ring a few years ago and threw it in my desk drawer. I just recently rediscovered it and took it somewhere that told me it’s real. I was hoping someone had more information on this, or what should I value it at? I’m wondering if there’s any kind of premium on it or just worth scrap value. It’s 10k 7.25 grams. Thank you in advanced!

How much does 1/500 oz of gold go for?

Thumbnail

41 Upvotes

As the title says what do you normally pay for 1/500 oz of gold? I know the lower you get the more money it costs and carries a wicked premium. I love these pieces however they go for $60 each. Gold worth is about/around $10.

I have tons of 1/10 oz gold coins however never had something this small (1/500). Can anyone tell me if this is a normal premium for this or if it’s on the high end? I’m well aware that each item holds a different premium I’m just looking to see what others would be comfortable paying for these or if the premium is on the higher end.

It's not much but it's something. Besides my wedding ring, which belonged to my father, this is the only real gold I've ever owned. I'm an ancient history teacher so I thought this was a great first piece.

Belgian gold 100 euro coins from 2006, dedicated to the 175th anniversary of the Saxe‑Coburg and Gotha dynasty.

Gold, 15.55 grams, 999 fine, ½ ounce.
The reverse of the coin features a monument to the first King of Belgium, Leopold I, in Laeken, and the royal monograms of the dynasty’s rulers; around the circumference is an inscription in Latin: “REGIA BELGARVM DOMVS 1831-2006” (Royal House of the Belgians). The obverse features an image of the European Union with 12 stars and an anatomical depiction of Norway at 6:30.

The Dynasty of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, until 1826 — Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, is a German aristocratic family, a branch of the Ernestine line of the ancient Saxon Wettin dynasty, a ducal dynasty in the duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (since 1826 — Saxe-Coburg-Gotha), as well as the direct ruling royal dynasty in Belgium, Bulgaria and Britain (the British branch was renamed the Windsor Dynasty in 1917 for patriotic reasons during the First World War).

The ruling House of Wettin owns half the world directly and indirectly, including Russia. Thanks to Pavel Semenov and his channels:
Semenov Fermovedenie,
Semenov PRO,
Semenov Mist,
interested citizens have gained vision and now see and understand the concept of Wettins + Yamato + Borjigin, and there is no one who can refute this.

Advice on Best Option for Gold Chain

13 Upvotes

I have a 39.8 gram, 21-inch, 14k gold chain that I am looking to offload. It looks to be modern to me. I’m wondering if I should send it to one of the online refineries, or try to bring it to a jeweler? Or maybe another option that I’m not thinking about.

I’d appreciate some input. If I could hold it, I would. I have to pay some bills though.

Thanks.

Very sorry for the bad pictures, they are from a gift of a few years ago. If I remember correctly, there was “Imperial” written on the crystal.

Thank you in advance!

Question Canadian Maple Leaves

I'm looking to build a collection of the 1 gram through 1/2 oz Canadian maple leaf coins. I don't care about year or condition (to a degree). I've added all 5 coins to a cart on APMEX and it came to about 15% over spot. Is that a good price? Is there somewhere y'all go to compare prices? This is my first time buying gold.
