@buzzclick500 I agree. He did it through executive order which according to the US constitution mean absolutely nothing.

what does "bullion purposes" mean? Thanks sir.

[markapsolon]

@hoho69 "Bullion purpose" means that you are just wanting to have the physical gold and have no need for any numismatic (collectible) value.

[ParanoidGallows]

The Ronald Reagan impersonation sounds more like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons.

[applesweeter]

[DocWog]

Demand and supply is an economic model of price determination in a market.

Silver and gold is a good long-term investment for those who can afford it, BUT it seems to me that continuous growth of the gold price is clearly due to artificial market manipulation intentionally created by rich and powerful. By escalating people's interest and their further desires, it is obvious why price is continue sky rocketing.

Why haven't you moved?

@DackIsBack The fact is they contain 31.103 grams (1 troy oz) of pure gold, and weigh 33.930 grams. The American gold buffalo coin is .9999 and weighs 31.103 grams. I guess I don't understand what you mean... do you think the gold eagles don't actually contain the gold they say? Sounds like something China would do, not the US. I don't know though these days.
