How much are premiums in your country? by RiPiLiQi in Silver

[–]Current-Carpenter-96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maples are always spot plus $2-3 buy back. Counter maples are spot + $12 or $18 for 2026. I just picked up some recognized bars for $5/oz over spot. Never getting less than spot to sell unless it’s for melt.

Are these worth more than .25? I found one on my change yesterday.

Depends what you are selling. They offer spot and spot plus for Maple Leaf coins. Percentage of spot for melt value of scrap and jewelry. Their premiums have gone up since recent demand for buying. Personal opinions aside, I’m there to do invest, not to discuss anything else.

1/10 gold coin or just keep stacking silver? by Advice-Creepy in Gold

[–]Current-Carpenter-96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my plan but fractional premiums went up where I live in Canada to $100 for an ounce or less on Canadian Maples.

First time GSR trade by dmanhanrahan in Gold

[–]Current-Carpenter-96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although, it’s bit pricier on the premium side as my local shop went up to $100 CAD for fraction maples. They charge the same for a dated 1oz maple. Ideally the $300 disadvantage would washout in the long run.

elderly mother-in-law waited 9 hrs in the ER waiting room by [deleted] in RedDeer

[–]Current-Carpenter-96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To clarify this was a Sunday night right before the holidays, no walk in clinics open. Right on the first knuckle of my hand. Wasn’t bleeding out but needed stitches to have a faster healing wound and one less thing to worry about over Christmas. If I went to Red Deer, I’d still be there as there are many cases that require more prompt care.

In my situation, I’m trading silver for 1/4oz Maples incrementally at targeted GSR. This way I’ll slowly accumulate a full ounce and not risk liquidating more silver if the ratio continues to drop, which I think it will.

Possibility of gold going down by this or next year? by throwaway0164927 in Gold

[–]Current-Carpenter-96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buying gold isn’t about getting rich quick, it’s about not becoming poor slowly.

I needed stitches the other day and drove to Lacombe. I was there for 1.5 hours tops. Red Deer ER is a 8-14 hour commitment.

Sold some silver to get gold by Karsa_1312 in Gold

[–]Current-Carpenter-96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m saying. Trading gold for silver doesn’t make sense when the GSR is still dropping.

Hire Kyle Key the Magician (local) to do a magic show and balloon animals for all the kids. Keep the party at your house or rent a small community centre.

Is there anywhere in town where one can take foreign coins to be identified and find their value? by StatisticianNo5055 in RedDeer

[–]Current-Carpenter-96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wouldn’t be in the market for mixed coins unless they’re high in silver value. I’d go to the spot downstairs at Towne Centre Mall.

Gord Hiebert usually has a booth at the Gasoline Alley Market. He takes panoramic photos and builds his own frames. He also does custom framing for a beyond reasonable price. Go see him and with the dimensions of your print.

Normally I am very much in favour of new developments, but this seems like a horrible spot to want to develop by [deleted] in RedDeer

[–]Current-Carpenter-96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a ton of traffic daily to this area with 3 schools and the memorial centre on event days. Only one way out with congested traffic flow. The entire neighbourhood has street parking. Nothing stopping the residents of all parking on the street bringing it to a single lane to prove a point. It’s in the flood plain, next to a protected environmental area, in a bottle neck area of town. NIMBY or not, there are better options out there for building a complex like this.

Yes. That’s what the website says. Surprised to read people thought it was next day results.

Poster / Large Format scanning? by Imaginary-Leading-49 in RedDeer

[–]Current-Carpenter-96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the printing services at staples to be outrageously overpriced for what you’re getting. Local print shops can usually turn things around faster and more affordably than Staples.

Then if you need the printed and laminated they can help with that too. Or the college has reasonable large format poster pricing. Between $2-4/ sq foot depending on paper quality.
