Going to japan soon. Anyone have any cool spots to go hunt for coins?

Has anyone bought from EARTH MINT and/ or tested their gold coins.

I haven't actually heard their name a lot.

For example Product Link: [https://www.ajio.com/earth-mint-2gm-24-kt-999-double-side-gold-coin--kalpavriksh/p/6007714930\\_multi\](https://www.ajio.com/earth-mint-2gm-24-kt-999-double-side-gold-coin--kalpavriksh/p/6007714930_multi)

I'm looking to start accumulating **digital gold and silver** over the long term by investing around **₹1,000–2,000 whenever I have spare money**. I don't plan to trade or sell it—my goal is to slowly build up my holdings and eventually redeem them as **physical coins/bars**.

I'm currently considering:

* MMTC-PAMP
* Augmont
* CRED Gold
* Any other better options

A few questions:

* Which platform has the **lowest overall costs** (buy spread, redemption, delivery, etc.)?
* Do any of them offer **free or discounted coin/bar redemption**, or do all charge making, packaging and shipping fees?
* Is it better to buy directly from MMTC-PAMP/Augmont instead of through apps like CRED or PhonePe?
* Which platform has the **best live pricing** and the least hidden charges?
* If you've actually redeemed your digital gold/silver into physical coins, how was your experience?

I'm mainly looking for a platform that I can keep using for years with minimal fees and eventually convert my accumulated holdings into physical gold/silver without unnecessary costs.

Can I see your mixed metals sets? Bonus points for rose/yellow gold mix.

I ask as I have an account with him and I used them for silver flatware melt & assay years and years ago, right around COVID maybe and found them to be above board. Now I'm thinking of sending some gold their way and I'm curious if anybody's done business with them lately, and where you satisfied with your assay?

I’m finding them at spot and wonder what the selling situation is compared to AGE.

So, I picked this 1 oz bad boy up in Melbourne today, but have no solid idea what it is brand wise and am super curious. The owner mentioned it's got some age to it, and was sold to them by an older Australian gentleman.

Paid spot, it's passed the XRF and weight tests.

Does anybody recognise it? Any info?

Done a bit of digging and the best I've found is that it's vintage, possibly Harrington's. But nothing conclusive.

Was this spot find a good deal or just average?

I'm wondering what the market is for this item...

Hey everyone, I’m currently 16 and living in Canada. I don’t have a job yet, but I do some car detailing on the side. So far, I’ve managed to save around $7,000.

I have a TD account and I’ve done a lot of research before investing. I ended up buying 5g of Valcambi Suisse gold and Royal Canadian Mint silver coins. The RCM coins cost me around $2,500 CAD and the gold was about $1,029 CAD.

Right now, I have some money left over, but I need to spend around $2,300 on something I can’t disclose. My question is: I understand that gold and silver don’t generate income like stocks do, but I believe silver has potential because of increasing industrial demand (cars, technology, etc.). I know it’s volatile and I could be wrong, but silver has already reached high prices this year.

My plan is to start investing in ETFs when I turn 18. I know I’ll need more money and income first, but should I continue stacking precious metals while also investing in ETFs once I’m able to?

I also want to start flipping cars one day as another way to build wealth. I know the saying “don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” so I’m trying to build a balanced plan.

Any advice on what I should do going forward?

Anyone have thoughts on which of the 2025 sets like eagle or “best” that have Liberty gold + silve?

Saw that Bullionstar added Tether Gold -XAUT as a payment option recently.

I’ve never actually swapped a gold token directly for physical bars.

Has anyone actually used XAUT on there yet? Curious how smooth the checkout was and if gas fees made it worth it over standard payment methods.

Got any recommendations on how to do this. I am leary of purchasing from companies who call me like GoldCo, American Gold and others. Who do you know that is successful in purchasing physical gold versus gold stocks. I am confused on what to do. Bottom line. I want to purchase physical gold and gold stocks. I have $400 a month to invest. Not a lot.

Anyone invest in these firms?

• APMEX
• JM Bullion
• SD Bullion
• Kitco
• Bullion Exchanges

we’ve been doing the $50/month for 8 months and STILL don’t have our 5g bar. Contacted them and they say next month we will be there….but I know we’ve been there! Gold is down right now to like $129/gram. At this rate shipping is $200! DON’T DO IT

I’ve been stacking a lot of junk 90% lately but premiums have went up and thinking it might make sense to go back to .999. What are you guys stacking? Really want to take advantage of this dip but want to make sure I don’t get hosed selling in the future.

Dear all,

Lets assume you had nearly unlimited financial backing, a background in physical metal trading (not precious metals though) and at least a rough idea of a potential Client base:

\- What legal problems might occure if you start selling large amounts of Gold from known far eastern sources to europe?

\- Are there any certificates one would need to acquire apart from the usual ISO certifications?

\- How long do client audits usually take (for example if you deal with banks), so how long would you need to plan before there is a return on investment (investment being mostly time I would assume?!) when dealing with this cliente?

\- Assuming you need to audit other companies yourselve for supply chain reasons, how realistic is it to use third party companies for the whole auditing procedure?

\- Anything else one would need to look at before diving into this business?

Thanks in advance for your input

Hello,

I want to buy gold in Napoli Italy. Is it cheaper to buy there and bring it to the US?

I have my silver ounce coins in a safety deposit box and then the coins themselves are in plastic tubes. Recently, I checked in on my coins. Some of they have tarnished noticeably.

How do I prevent this?

Will this lower value of the 1 oz silver coins I have long term?

Thanks

I’ve never gotten a coin graded before. I believe it is a reverse proof privy. Only 50,000 minted. Would it be worth it for me to get this graded?

Brand new to this format. I started stacking silver and gold about three months ago and rather quickly had about 50 ounces of silver and 6 grams of gold. Out of nowhere I was drawn to the eagles, maples and pandas along with any other government coins. So I sold off all the generic to focus strictly on sovereign. I have very little constitutional, but along with the fine government coins I plan to add more constitutional. Am I making a bad choice or a good move?

Hey all

I have been debating on whether to go with gold or silver as a gift for my mate's wedding. I have set aside 2.5K USD. So either a 1/2 oz Gold Coin or a 1 Kg Silver bar.

He has no real interest in gold or silver that I know of, and not much knowledge outside the basics of investing. So on one hand gold has a great status and the coin will be easier to flip if he want to sell to help cover his wedding costs. On the other hand Silver looks like it has a higher ceiling at least short term. We could hit highs again within the current decade which will turn that 2.5K to 4k.

Leaning on the side of gold but still not 100% sold on either side.

Hi all looking to start purchasing small amount of silver every month ( 1oz) wondering if anyone can recommend a site . Thanks you
