    I know I got a bunch of African Krugerrands still around.

    I got them from some fat degenerate horse groomer in 1989

    Fat bastard would lose to me playing a penetrating video bowling game in a bar by

    Yonkers Raceway.

    I would wait for him to show up after him doing a paddock

    He would always pay me in the coins when he last all his cash

    I would let him keep going.

    But then demand payment or I wouldnt play him anymore.

    He would lose thousands never could beat me..

    He was very good tho..

    But when the coke started to kick in it was all over..

    penetrating kept me up till way past 4 am most the time.

    Everyone loved watching me rope him..

    Put that order in at 2:30 PM yesterday. I sent the wire at 8:30am today. Course gold rallied like $10 over night and was up $25 more at the time I sent the wire. So pretty interested to see if they will honor the order. No doubt they would if the price fell.

    I've always thought of Apmex as legit, did they honor it?

    Also, looks like Palladium will be a winner in 2014.

    Yes. Call them before you buy. If you buy 20 oz's or more you can ask for "dealer pricing" and knock off another $5. Real professional but a little more expensive than Monex. Also, I had a lost wire and they were cool about it. I'm sticking with them.

    You know John. With all your Stock posts & Metals information. You would think that maybe SBR could start a sub forum for investments, and perhaps get some kind of referral deal with Ameritrade or something. So you can go Pro by depositing at the trade firm you select. And maybe you could add Gold, Silver, or Trade Gift certs to the SBR Store?

    Would be a great way to get guys with endless points to cash out.

    Bought mostly Buffalo's and Eagles. Gave them to friends to hold, paid a bookie and sold some.

    Keep in mind if you buy bullion or even foriegn made coins you will get an IRS form after the first few sold. There is no reporting at all with Buffalo's and Eagles because they are $50 face value coins, so US currency.

    Of course, as has already been mentioned, buying more gets you the discounts. This applies more to silver than gold however because the margins are already so tight. You're not buying gold to get rich, you're already rich. Buy some (liberties) and just hang onto them. Liberties are important because they monetized.

    sell deep otm gold calls 45 days from expiration collect premium = profit. in the case of the gold market actually moving lower roll your position to lower strikes smaller profit/scratch.

    Are some coins more valuable than the next. When I had money comming out of my ass a couple years ago I bought 5 ounces of PAMP Suisse 1 oz gold bars. When it comes to the best physical gold to buy I never see this type mentioned.

    Coins carry a premium over bars. So a bar might fetch $10 over spot where a US gold coin will fetch $25 over spot. Keep in mind there are NO IRS reporting when trading US gold coins because they are real currency. There IS IRS reporting when you go to sell bars or coins from another country. One might be able to deduce that a profit from trading US minted gold coins could be a tax free profit event.

    John, it would be nice if you could one day explain the difference between Players Talk and the Saloon.

    I made this particular thread in Players Talk, notice it even has a sporting theme to it, and after two hours of watching it flourish, on a quiet Saturday night, some overzealous mod decided to move it.

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/saloon/278...ttoo-ever.html

    I have no problem adhering to rules, just tell me what they are. Thanks!

    This is a good option to look into
