Watch out for Fake Gold and Silver coins from China

Chinese counterfeiters are second to none , they are the world masters in counterfeiting everything on the surface of the earth and of course they do counterfeit Gold and Silver coins and bars too , fake gold and silver coins are big business. and it is getting bigger with the price of the precious metals soaring , Indeed with Spot Silver prices rising the Chinese and others are cranking out millions of fake coins...I mean millions and the fakes are getting so good even advanced dealers and graders are being fooled! Many of these so called replicas "I'd say MOST" are unmarked and are outright dangerous.There a few things that will help you detect that they're fakes . They are even now making fake junk Quarters and Dimes. It's very lucrative for them .There are even better fakes that use 90% Silver, but they are not used on junk coins due to production costs. Only buy higher dollar coins from a reputable dealer, in PCGS, NGC, ICG or ANACS slabs!
NEVER FROM CHINA...Unless you want a few fake specimens, which isn't a bad idea.my role of thumb is avoid anything Made in China and not just for gold and silver

Gold Rises As Greece Parliament Approves Austerity

Gold traded higher for a second day in a raw on news that the Greek Government accepted the austerity measures despite the overwhelming rejection of the IMF and EU plan by the Greek population .that is obviously a great news for the Gold and silver but especially for the Euro which rallied against the US dollar . Tim Harvey, Senior VP at ETF Securities, says that Gold is a dollar hedge not an inflation hedge , he expects the Gold to trade higher in the near future




These manipulated modestly low silver prices are getting annoying. Either they let go of the chains and leave it to the free market, or they suppress it down to $25, JP Morgue makes the switch from all short to all long on silver, and then we all watch the price skyrocket.

I understand that these flat, low silver prices are good for industry, especially for solar panel manufacturers, but its really not worth it. They should bring it down to $25 let all industries buy all of the silver they’ll ever need for the next 100 years, then let it skyrocket.

David Morgan Gold prices could go up astronomically after QE2 ends

David Morgan on the Ellis Martin Report discussing the Dollars, Debt and Danger of hyperinflation : "what's coming unfortunately is the great day of reckoning , at some point the dollar collapse happens and at some sense it is happening in other words it is not usually an overnight anomaly where all the banks close that's not probably what's going to take place , what's happens is as we are witnessing more and more nation stats start to say I do not want any more dollars , the FED becomes the buyer of the last resort of the bond market which is true as it is still going on until June 30th when QE2 ends , and right now the FED is buying 80 percent of the bond offer after the 30th of June who is going to step in and buy it , China ? Russia ? Japan ? I do not know I doubt any of them will buy that much they may buy some , so we get to the end game and the end game is I do not want the dollar anymore , and the problem with this is it is still interconnected for the global economy because the dollar is still the reserve currency so if you stop wanting the dollar what do you want ? and it does not take much of the bond market to go to the security of Gold to move the prices in paper terms to an astronomically higher level and that's the situation we are facing , China is increasing its gold holdings Russia is increasing its gold holdings India increased its gold holdings , Central bankers have become net buyers of gold recently as they were net sellers for a very long period of time , so e are getting near the end ...so hopefully it gets to a point where an adjustment can be made in other words we go back to some kind of Gold standard or pseudo gold standard or a commodity basket or something that have faith in it we are not there yet but we are getting there very rapidly ...says David morgan

Peter Schiff : The Gold Standard for a sound economy

Peter Schiff  : Gold is worth its intrinsic value it has unique and special properties that other metals do not have , you comparing Gold to paper , what is the federal reserve note worth what a piece of paper that is printed by the US government what is that worth ?!?!? I mean you cannot use it for anything it is just paper but it already has been written on , I mean it is not soft enough to use as toilet tissue , what you gonna do with it ?!?!?!" Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital believes that the Gold standard could happen even sooner than a five years from now , and the reason for that is we have a dollar crisis we have a currency crisis that brings on an even worse financial crisis and I think that currency crisis is coming soon it is going to send the dollar plunging consumer prices and interest rates surging and we gonna be in a much deeper recession and the only way to have a real economy a sound economy is to discipline the government to prevent them from deficit spending and the only way to do that is with the Gold Standard says Peter Schiff

How Gold is Mined in Nevada

Visionvictory takes us to a mining tour of a gold mine in Nevada , the goal is to show you that gold mining is not an easy task it requires heavy machinery a lot of energy and human power and skills , tons of dirt and ricks has to be moved or crashed in order to get one ounce of Gold , unlike money printing gold mining comes with a cost and that adds to the value of Gold , gold cannot be created out of thin air as we do with paper money . Nevada accounts for 75% of gold production in the United States and 7.2% of the gold mined worldwide

Mining Shares vs Gold Prices

Mining Shares Versus Gold Prices the reasons for the relative underperformance of shares in gold and silver mining companies versus the performance of the metals Costs for miners have risen substantially in recent years due to rising prices and environmental regulations widening the gap between mining share prices and the price of gold, Charlie Morris, head of absolute return at HSBC Global Asset Management told CNBC Friday, the tremendous potential in mining stocks and how these have been suppressed too, despite rising gold prices. Given their tiny market capitalization he expects that when the rush comes, they will rise in value very rapidly and outshine even the dotcom bubble.



I think you can actually get the shares in paper form sent to you so it's not just an entitlement that can be claimed by a broker or something which you paid for but are not owning. I guess you need to think about lawyers & potential for a grab in a collapse. I assume this: #1 dishonest people will take opportunities #2 lawyers will survive the collapse (I know, but it's true, look at history, they're like cockroaches)

Ron Paul asks for full audit of the Gold at Fort Knox

06/23/11 : Time for a full audit. Ron Paul's Opening Statement: Monetary Policy Subcommittee - Gold at Fort Knox - Dr Ron Paul very courageously is demanding a full audit of the gold reserves in Fort Knox because it is a gold that belongs to the people . The focus of the hearing is on recent audits of U.S. gold reserves; challenges to conducting a full audit; and impediments to an accurate assessment of the US gold position, including any leases, swaps or other encumbrances placed upon the gold reserves; and also examine changes to the legislative proposal that will ensure a full and accurate audit, assay, and inventory of U.S. gold reserves.Ron Paul is a BAMF! He is Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry rolled into ONE. The old adage is true. The more you tell the truth, the more you'll be attacked. Solution. Tell even more truth until the attackers are exposed and go into Apathy. GO RON PAUL

Gold as constitutional money

James Turk director of GoldMoney Foundation interviews Sean Fieler about IRS treatment of gold at the federal level is a big impediment to using gold and silver as money.
Sean Fieler : "...what gold lacked for so long is a little more credibility the realizing that it is not just people at the margins that are concerned about this who think this the solution but this is the logical given the problems we have "

Danielle Park : 1.2 quadrillion dollars of derivatives out there

Danielle Park explains what derivatives are , today estimated amounts of derivatives are 1.2 quadrillion dollars of derivatives out there thanks to the creativity of Wall Street and big Banks , that's quadrillion not a trillion , back in the late nineties the estimated amounts of derivatives was around 200 billion dollars so you can see the big jump we did since then...a quadrillion is if you want to count one dollar per second starting from now it will take you 32 million years to do it , with all that amount of money soon going to start chasing the real few assets on the market like Gold and silver and other commodities one can only expect the Commodity Inflation to Come Off The Boil and probably the crash of the dollar all together ...you will be happy if you hoarded gold and silver , governments and central banks cannot print gold and silver into oblivion as they can do with fiat money....People investing in commodities are moving into real things and away from fiat currency. If she or the UN is upset about commodity prices, stop the money printing!

James Turk : We could see gold in backwardation

James Turk : "We could see gold in backwardation too as people become more and more worried about the inflationary consequences of the money printing that's going on around the world. Silver always leads - in bull markets it leads on the upside and in bear markets it leads on the downside. Maybe as precious metals move into backwardation, silver is again giving us an important message that it is leading and gold will eventually follow." - in mineweb.com

The Gold Dinar behind the war on Libya ?

Gaddafi was planning to introduce the Gold Dinar just before the war ,Gaddafi also wanted Gold in return for his Oil , some say this was the real cause behind the NATO war against Libya .. the banksters feel to be threatened by the return to a honest currency, gold and silver backed, they actually want a world currency completely online! But I don't think India, Russia, China, and other countries want it.Even Europe begins to understand the necessity of a gold standard... even with the inconveniences...people who don't hold gold are finished anyways but it seems that gold is the only way to stop the transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich...the only way to protect the value from inflation , the only reason the US haven't collapsed yet is because the dollar is still the global reserve currency, (no matter how much money they print it doesn't devalue the dollar because the whole world excepts it as currency) if the dollar falls so will life as America knows it, the government is doing their job, trying to keep the country from complete financial collapse.



this fake economy/monopoly needs to end and the gold standard reinstated...it is the only way to stop the theft through inflationary quantitative easing....the sooner these American people open their eyes the better it will be for all.....if the people dont take back their government very soon we will be in world war three...a nuclear holocaust...not a very nice ending for the human race

Bob Chapman : Numismatic Coins have great potential , their time will come

The Time for Numismatic Coins will come says Bob Chapman of the International forecaster , Numismatic Coins are collectors coins , Bob Chapman owns personally the Numismatic Coins and he thinks that as long there is a low premium on the Numismatic Coins they are a good investment , last time around between 1977 and 1981 the prices went from $500 to $5000 per coin so the potential for Numismatic Coins is large because you get less than one percent of the people in the world and in the United States in Gold and Silver including Numismatic Coins now when that will become 15 percent they are not going to buy bullion coins and gold and silver shares and that includes shares too says Bob Chapman , but they are gonna buy other products and that would be Numismatic Coins as well , so their time will come ..there 's good values there ...

Edwin Vieira, Gold lifeboat before the dollar sinks

James Turk Director of the GoldMoney Foundation interviews Edwin Vieira about his book "Pieces of Eight , Gold , the constitutional solution for today's monetary problems , The alternative currency movement in the states , The Gold as an Insurance against a currency collapse , How Gold money can be implemented at the state level , Gold as a lifeboat before the dollar sinks ,




People like Peter Schiff suggest having 2/3rds of our precious metal investment in gold, and the other third in silver. The Permanent Portfolio by Harry Browne originally suggested 100% in gold, but his successor who runs the fund, invests it 1/5th silver and 4/5ths gold. So those are two barometers I follow in trying to balance gold and silver investing. I would also say, for the common man, better to have silver if he can't afford an ounce of gold, than nothing.Silver has been the common man's money for 5,000 years. The Biblical word for money is "silver".

When gold stands above $10,000 an ounce, Warren Buffet could afford gold but it will be outside the reach of the common man. Without silver citizens would be forced to hold fiat currency.

This is perhaps the primary reason the central banks sough to end the bi-metal standard in 1873. Good for the rich and the central banks,but economic slavery for every else.

Jeff Nichols : $1700/oz Gold by the end of this year

Jeff Nichols, Senior economic advisor to Rosland Capital and managing director at American Precious Metals Advisors Inc., He is the author of the book "The Complete book of Gold Investing "
Jeff Nichols : "I am I am actually quite bullish I have been for long time and I remain so , all the facts we have spoken about from FED policy to central banks policy overseas to the debt situation in this country and in Europe rising demand in India and China Central Banks around the world net buyers of gold all this continue and they are likely to continue for the foreseeable future " "really the Gold market is a very small market compared to capital markets it is almost insignificant it gets a lot of attention because it hits us emotionally and certainly in certain way that other assets don't " " there is an emotional connection to gold and I can't explain why but it has been through over the millenia ,and gold distinguishes itself over the millennia. Really as the only asset that has attained its value over hundreds and hundreds of years. And I think investors look to gold for that reason; as a store of value, as a monetary asset and something that is a hedge and diversifier and insurance policy against all sorts of risks." " Well for better or worse I believe we are still in a long term bull market years ahead to run up , I think late this year we can easily see $1700/oz next year perhaps $2000/oz beyond that $3000/oz and may be even higher " " It's simply that more and more people around the world are chasing a limited supply of gold , in China for example 5 or 7 years ago it was illegal to invest in a bar of gold or gold coin , now the government is promoting it as a legitimate form of saving , China is under invested , India is under invested we are talking about billions of people as some of those people moving to the middle class and become consumers some of that money is going to go to gold jewellery some of it is going to go into gold investment and those are permanent or at least very long term purchases these aren't people who are going to sell when it rallies a little bit "
"I think you buy for the long term , ...gold and silver , silver particularly tend to be volatile assets in the short run and they have over the past few decades , in the 1970s which was a great bull market for gold we saw silver at various points in time pull back 40 , 50 even 60 percent as it was continuing to rise along the upward trend ..." " you have to be educated and you have to understand why you are investing you have to know what the fundamentals are for gold and silver and be aware that one day things will change and it may be time to start hitting positions , but I think it is important for many investors to retain as an insurance policy some small core holding may be 5 or 10 percent of investable assets in physical metal and as an insurance policy against risks that we can't even imagine " " I think (silver ) near 50 dollars it was expensive at 35 or 37 where we are today I think it is an opportunity to buy and I think gold also is an opportunity to buy , when we look back a few years from now these will seem like a very reasonable and attractive price levels to have come into the market "...." My preference is for gold because it is principally a monetary asset , silver has an industrial side it has additional risks , I think there is a place in a portfolio at times for the right mining shares , but mining shares are not physical metal and they carry a whole host of additional risks "



My Investment plan: Puts on ANF until QE3 is announced..then pile into aggressive SLV calls. As the environment gets more dangerous (SHTF), move from SLV to physical proportional to the danger and get move aggressive with SLV options. Switch from physical silver to physical gold starting at 8 to 1 silver/gold and finish 5 to 1. Then take the ride in gold. I figure in 5 years I'll have 10,000 times my original purchasing power.

James Turk : The waterfall decline of the US Dollar

James Turk explains the waterfall decline of the US dollar , Gold and Silver are the safe heaven against the waterfall decline of the US Dollar not the Euro , This video was recorded on 29 April 2011 in Munich, Germany : The waterfall decline will start with the US Dollar and you will see the dollar continuing to decline against the Euro but this is an emotional major reaction , people will exit the dollar and they will say to themselves where can I go , well I go to the Euro because it is a big broad deep market and it is easy to buy so initially you gonna see the Euro benefiting and that's what has been happening , you know the Euro broke above 1.42 against the Dollar and we are now I think 1.48 and a half , but the European central bank is going to probably step in and keep the Euro under 1.55 and people will then understand that the emotional major reaction of selling the dollar and buying the Euro was not the right way to solve the problem not the right way to find a safe heaven for their money and they will start selling the Euro and buying gold ,

Peter Schiff : Good time to buy Physical Silver

Peter Schiff : ...Silver has pulled back from a high of almost 50 dollars an ounce to about 32 , 33 right now we are about 34 , yeah I think there is a lot of support at 30 I am not sure that we are going to get as low as 30 , I think if we did got at 30 it will be an even better buying opportunity but we might not even go that low , I think we had a nice pull back from almost 50 to where we are today so if you had been thinking about adding to your silver position my opinion will be it's a good time to do it , is there a risk , yes , can I be wrong , sure , could silver go a lot low in the short run , hey anything is possible , I do not think it is probable but it is possible , but so do not do it on leverage do not buy options but physical silver that you are buying to hold in case the dollar collapses yeah , I think this recent pull back is a buying opportunity " Peter Schiff was answering a question from a listener to his radio program the Schiff Radio...

James Turk : as long as silver is in backwardation , Silver is cheap

Bill Murphy calls for silver at $400 : ...well if you are looking to what James has said if you are looking for 400 dollars ( silver ) the answer is yes , and as I mentioned earlier and I talked about a lot this year I think we are into an unprecedented situation there is no telling of what gonna happen over night , even today , having done this all day everyday for twelve and half years now it is just stunning but what I have heard the price did because they know that this is following Ben Bernanke's press conference and what the FED had to say , this is a massive obvious repudiation of that , this is the last thing that these people want so , and the more the gold price goes up the more the average person says I want to buy but I cannot afford gold so I want silver and the short position is getting strangled and it is getting worse ....James Turk : ...as long as Gold Silver ratio is higher than twenty Silver is cheap , and as long as silver is in backwardation , Silver is cheap , or something else can happen which is something that we all have to consider the paper market is going to lose its importance as price discovery mechanism it goes back to my comment at Mises about government and politicians destroying the market but they do not understand how they work , the paper market is being destroyed that's what backwardation is telling us , it's no more reliable you have to look what's happening in the physical market , and the physical market is unbelievably tight , because there is just a little amount of physical silver and a huge amount of paper out there.......

Gold mining Stocks are very undervalued - James Turk

James Turk : we trade gold mining stocks in term of dollars or Euros but they are producing gold they are producing wealth and what will happen is the same thing that happened with stocks that produce commodities in countries that have hyperinflation , the prices of those shares will rise , because what would you rather do have your Reichs Marks setting in a bank earning a little bit of interest or would you rather own a mining company denominated in Reich's Marks , the same thing is true in Zimbabwe their mining companies prices of shares rose because you better off owning an equity in a company that creates wealth so if we do get this hyper inflationary system as I expect I think the price of the mining shares will soar ...one thing the market does is it always tests our patience and we are seeing that now with the mining shares but you have to put this in the perspective the last bull market in a mining share ended in 1998 with the collapse of Reax ? we went into a ten year bear market when after the Lehman collapse even top quality mining companies the big majors were going for pennies in the dollar that was the end of the bear market we've come up since then we have been trading basically at new highs on the major companies the juniors always follow at a later date ....


James Turk and Bill Murphy of GATA http://gata.org explain how gold mining stocks are very undervalued and can rise spectacularly as the precious metals bull market continues. This video was recorded on 29 April 2011 in Munich, Germany.

Making Money in Gold and Silver

An outlook on the gold and silver trade, with Rob Stein, Astor Asset Management and Christian Magoon, Magoon Capital. Christian Magoo : "you have a number of options here. one way to hedge just a general way is to own the physical gold ETF. i like IAU. it's less expensive and owns the physical bars of gold. to be a little more aggressive, should gold have a correction of 10% or month? i actually like junior gold miners, gdxj. it's the ETF that owns a variety of those, and it's been a more volatile way to play gold. at this point it's kind of come on track a little bit from gold as physical gold is positive for the year, but junior gold miners is negative for the year. i think there's an opportunity there"

The FED Admits: We Have No Gold Reserves !

Fed's attorney Scott Alvarez boldly admits that the Federal Reserve has no Gold whatsoever backing the US Dollar : "The Federal Reserve does not own any gold at all" he literally said , "we have not owned gold since 1934 so we have not engaged in any gold swaps " ... If Ron Paul doesn't get elected, America will go to Hell,literally The corporation, posing as a government, THE UNITED STATES, INC, has committed treason against the People of this nation. They have no true authority over the People of this country.Their power only resides in Washington, D.C. They are more evil than most of mankind can even fathom. Yet, they control our military and our police.This nation is literally screwed if they do not wake our military and law enforcement up to who it is they are here to defend!



If everyone pulled there money out of banks, investments and stocks..they would collapse these crooks. Then i wanna see what they do, they won't have anyone to rip anyone off anymore. I blame the ppl for this because they enable these crooks to do what they do.

One could argue that with the paper manipulation in the gold and silver markets, holding physical gold and silver will BOTH preserve wealth AND create wealth.

Underground Scrap Gold & Silver Economy Expanding Like Wildfire

There is no such a thing as broken jewelery , jewelery is worth what metals it is made of , it does not matter if it is broken or not , if it is made of gold it is worth the gold it is made of .Do not let anybody fool you that your broken jewelery is worth less just because it is broken .  Before I found out about gold and silver, I had the false belief that selling gold is a good idea. Now it is clear to me that such a move is foolish. Gold and silver are awesome! I will never sell my gold and silver at these prices and certainly not against paper money ...I will eventually trade my gold and silver in the future for real estate or farm land or food or weapon it will all depend on the boom bust cycle and what's the hot commodity at that time ....


These guys they get paid for their work with profits on the "spread", i.e. the difference between their buy and sell prices. With that money the pay their living expenses. Whatever they can save, they use to buy gold and silver for themselves.The honest ones are no different from you and I. There are crooks in every occupation, but coin dealers and precious metals dealers are infinitely more honest than bankers who loan electronic money they don't have, and print money backed by nothing.
See a lot of that silver that used to get thrown out, now gets recycled. Heck there are people who will buy old computers and electrical equipment because the cost of their precious metals now make them worth salvaging.

The main reason for the spike of the price of gold, is it's use in microprocessors and other high expense electronic components. Though silver is a better electrical conductor than gold, it tarnishes too quickly to be used in long lived products

James Turk of the GoldMoney Foundation speaks about currency devaluation and the rising gold price. How the gold price is rising against all major currencies and monetary policy is political, having abandoned all pretense of seeking monetary stability. He warns of the dangers of a hyperinflationary crisis. James also explains why gold should be considered money and not an investment. The presentation entitled " Gold the dollar and the Euro" was held on the 29th of April 2011 in Munich, Germany.

What Gold and Silver prices can expect from a typically slow summer buying period

Gold and silver prices can expect from a typically slow summer buying period . but we might still have the summer of surprises and and perhaps enough excitement to compared with last summer as well. Because obviously recent European peripherals are still very much on the radar acutely to of course -- extremely. Visible here with the ending again. Or five weeks from now. And of course what the Fed might -- might have to post the cessation of QE 2 those factors will definitely keep markets on the boil.Will Rhind, head of U.S. Operations at ETF Securities, argues that a good jobs number will boost gold and silver prices.
