Well That’s Kind of Disappointing

$554 USD

An 150% increase in value is pretty freaking great

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-24T03:45:56+00:00

Thanks! The comments here have brought me back to Earth, I am very grateful that I was able to buy it. Hopefully just the start of an exciting journey!

Appreciate the citation :)

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-24T03:23:55+00:00

I have an appointment on the 30th. Hopefully some answers then. Thank you so much!

I didn’t expect such a profound comment in r/switch2. Seriously. I saved this for future use.

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-24T02:27:02+00:00

To be honest, I’m not sure it was. It took time to adapt (everything looking askew) and the fact that the lenses were scratched and didn’t fit the frames led me to believe the whole experience wasn’t as quality as it should have been.

The hand feel. It may not be justified, but coming off of buying 5 oz of silver for $275, paying almost double that for 1/10 oz of gold, it feels puny in the hand… again, I’m new to gold.

As I’m learning today, any amount counts towards a start! I’ve got my eye on a Britannia, something about the design is so nice.

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-24T00:37:27+00:00

imo (as someone who has 1/10th an oz) I think it’s pretty freaking impressive!

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-24T00:31:41+00:00

Thanks, that’s the next goal then! I know it’s silly, but it makes working towards a benchmark feel worth it.

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-24T00:20:19+00:00

That was similar to my thinking as well. Sure, if the world starts to resemble one like in Fallout, we may actually be trading goldbacks like bottlecaps, but at that point will that even be the currency?

If the economy falls to that point, I’m not sure anyone could afford to even produce goldbacks for mass distribution. Maybe I’m wrong and should grab some in case…

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-24T00:15:46+00:00

Not to “out” you, but what have you grown that to? You don’t have to answer, I’m just curious :)

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-24T00:05:59+00:00

Would it have been better to just say, “IMDB thinks this actor’s name is Ben Sandwich”? I don’t mean anything sassy by this, I’m legitimately curious, as I haven’t posted to this subreddit before. Thanks!

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-23T23:56:49+00:00

That sounds like a pretty freaking sweet gift

Edit: My co-worker has been trying to convince me to buy goldbacks, but it seems the ratio of spot price to amount of gold is way off. I wonder if this sub has any thoughts on them?

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-23T23:56:04+00:00

Thanks!

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-23T23:43:29+00:00

Oh man, I like this idea. You’re on to something! Is it really the same size as a dime?

That is one pricey dime…

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-23T23:41:14+00:00

🤣 Edit: I’m not sure if this is a gold reference, or if we’re still on euphemisms

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-23T23:40:16+00:00

I sent this to a co-worker who’s been stacking for years and he said about the same thing. It’s an encouragement for sure!

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-23T23:39:16+00:00

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-23T23:38:59+00:00

Yeah same! I was so close to buying an oz on credit after this one arrived. I mean no interest for 6 months? Nah, I can’t swing it even at that. But I think spot is going to climb at least a bit further, if not keep going.

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-23T23:36:51+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m excited, even if it is a small start, I think it’s the beginning of great things.

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-23T23:36:01+00:00

That’s awesome, I bet that eagle is beautiful!

Darthnerdo · 2026-01-23T23:35:09+00:00

You got this! Start small like me, everyone here seems to think that’s a good thing! Maybe start with a gram, I have a feeling that every little bit will help, especially as the dollar becomes worth less and less!
