2011 Australian Koala 1kg Silver Bullion Coin - Perth Mint
Here we have a very nice piece, the 2011 Australian Koala 1kg 999 Silver Bullion Coin by the Perth Mint in Perth, Western Australia. These are currently the only 1kg coin available for purchase from the perth mint website, and it is absolutely stunning!Purchased for AU$1,252 in July 2011, approximately 32.151 ounces You would need to contact the Perth Mint directly to discuss your options, depending on your locality etc, personally I would phone them and ask them what their procedure is for buying silver from you.. Silver doesn't generate cash flow, so you'd only make money with it if you sold it at a higher price than which you purchased it. You could try local precious metals/coin dealers too, but be careful not to get ripped off! They're currently selling 10oz for AUD 441.00 so it's defintely a great investment (Fully aware buy-back price is a lot lower). Considering you bought them for AUD $357.00 roughly six months ago

I was reminding him that, you know, back in the fall of 2008 when libor rates increased. he finances his inventory on that want basis. if things had not improved he's laid off three workers out of 18 over this entire period. but he would have laid off more if interest rates had not gone down, if we did not control, you know, improved the operating efficiency of financial markets. so the counter fact the salary we would have been much worse off." Evans says

Lafayette, Louisiana, is the home of stoler, the largest wholesale jewelry manufacturer in the united states. and what a home a 600,000 square foot facility, 1200 employees strong. this is where it all begins. gold is brought here in the form of these big gold bars and they weigh 400 ounces a piece and some of it is melted down to the bars sold to individual investors and the rest is combined with this gold from the manufacturing processes. all of it is destined for the melt house. only 60% of the supply of gold in the world comes from mines and the other 40% comes from people melting it down. melted gold, recyclable is 40% of the supply right now

Buying Gold Bars vs Buying Gold Coins
Buying Gold Coins Bars Bullion : When buying gold bullion it is important to know the main reason for buying. If the main goal of buying gold is to preserve your wealth it is recommended when buying gold coins or buying gold bars that they are closest to spot price as possible. Spot price is the price what one troy ounce of pure gold is selling for at the time you buy. A troy ounce is equal to 31.1034768 grams. When it comes to gold coins you are not only paying for the gold but the manufacturing of the coin. This is why gold coins are usually more expensive than gold bars. The good thing about gold coins is they are usually easier to sell than bars. When buying gold coins it is recommended that you buy coins minted by a mint that's been around for a while and has a good reputation. Some other things that are recommended is that you buy pure gold coins and minted in the country you intend to sell it, if not in the mint closest to the country where you intend to sell. Pure gold should say 99.99 or 999.99 and also be 24 Karat. Some gold mints will have coins with the amount of gold stated in addition an alloy of silver and copper to produce a more wear-resistant gold coin. These coins will be 22 Karat and will be less than 99.99 pure. When buying gold bars you usually get more gold for your money compared to buying coins. If you buy gold bars it is recommended only buy 999.99 (24 Karat) bars. It is important when you buy gold that you get physical possession of the gold. This way you don't have to worry about any company going out of business or any government seizing your gold for any reason. Buying gold bullion is one of the best way to preserve your wealth from inflation of a currency or any other economic downturns a society might face.
I also prefer to invest in coins over bars but if you are looking to get the most gold for your money in a uniform form, bars are the way to go.If you buy bars, take physical possession, & have them drilled to make sure they aren't just gold-plated.I agree with the coins. Mainly because even if the metals market does plunge the coin will possibly have more value due to it's historical, and rarity value. You pay more for the coin sorta like a little insurance policy on your gold. But that's just my $0.02
Gold breaking through 1800 again up almost $40
Gold breaking through 1800 again up almost $40 on news that the FED neds more stimulus : Phil Streible, senior market strategist at MFGlobal, says that today's rally sparked by Chicago Fed President Evans isn't sustainable. Streible is bracing for a correction.As long as we maintain below the 1840 level you want to look at the short side if we break above 1840 that's the resistance I think we will go back up and we will retest the highs at least 1900 , so that's my line in the sand says Phil Streible .
