Got a fair deal on some gold today.

I stopped by one of those "we buy gold" stores today. I chatted with the guy for a while to see what kind of deals might be had. I ended up buying three 1/10th oz Gold Eagles for $160.00 each. 8-) He got more than if he sold to a smelter and I paid spot with no mark-up or S&H.

He is going to call me whenever he gets any coins in before he sends them out too. :mrgreen:

Sounds like we should establish the RCsmelting company. Notify all the pawn shops, coin stores and we buy gold places that we pay 80% of melt plus shipping.

Amazing on 2 fronts, first that there's someone out there melting gold eagles, but secondly there apparently are also people out there selling their gold coins for 50-60% of melt. Wish those people would come into our coin shop.

Anyway, congratulations on your purchase.

I tried contacting my local cash for gold dealers and was told they don't buy coins, only jewelry. Nice grab on your part :D

I went back last week and got another 1/10th oz gold eagle for $162.00
Today I sold him a 10K ring and 3 14K earrings that I found for $100 (worth closer to $150 melt) :? and bought a Ellis Island commemorative silver $1 for $23 8-)

he had 2 PCGS MS69 $50 Buffalo 1oz gold coins but he wants $1800 each for them. Too rich for my blood!
