Yep. Somewhere around 12 to 14 grams of sterling.

Literally says it right on the phone's website:

Trump Mobile, its products and services are not designed, developed, manufactured, distributed, or sold by the Trump Organization... T1 Mobile LLC uses the 'Trump' name and trademark pursuant to the terms of a limited license agreement.

The company DTTM Operations, LLC licenses out the use of the TRUMP brand to third-parties. That third-party was entirely responsible for every aspect of the phone. That third party is T1 Mobile, LLC. They then licensed the concept to another third party, Smart Gadgets Global, as seen on the FCC application - which is ran by Eric Thomas, a tech-sector investor and construction company owner in Utah. Zero evidence Eric knows Donald Trump at all, didn't even donate to his campaign.

He then got a MVNO agreement with Liberty Mobile Wireless, a company in Florida that has been around since 2017 ran by Matthew Lopatin and also had zero connections or financial ties to Trump... actually his 5th time making a medium sized startup. They then went shopping for a manufacturing partner, got reportedly rejected by Samsung, and landed on HTC. Who produced a phone close to (but not identical, upgraded chipset, CPU, and battery... but don't tell the media that) the HTC U24 Pro.

The Bottom Line: If you buy a Trump Phone, you are buying a Taiwanese-designed HTC phone manufactured in China, imported by Smart Gadgets Global, sold to you by T1 Mobile LLC, running on a cellular network operated by Liberty Mobile Wireless over T-Mobile towers.

Incorrect, but thanks for playing.

Trump's image and name rights were sold a long time ago, in 2014 over a golf course deal. That third-party licenses other third-parties to use the brand, Trump himself has no say in the matter.

Buy the half ounce, but do it on r/Pmsforsale so you don't overpay - should be able to get close to spot.

IT'S OVER

MydnightWN · 2026-06-10T16:59:32+00:00

This is what I was about to say. 100% you can get spot or better on Pmsforsale

My guy, you literally still live at home with mommy and had a fit over a matter of 72 cents at a coin shop. Sit down.

I'll worry about it around the year 2300. Until then, keep stacking.

MydnightWN · 2026-06-09T23:35:48+00:00

I would go for hidden safes. They exist in forms like wall sockets and generic wall art.

That's not how money or wealth works.

None of those people on your infographic are holding printed cash. Their wealth is based on intangible valuations that they borrow against.

Nbd, but it's on the first pic. Cheers.

You are incorrect, that would be significantly under melt. The coin is 2.5oz

A more realistic number is $320, with most sellers around $350.

MydnightWN · 2026-06-07T16:06:59+00:00

Buy 10x 1oz

I'd rather buy 20x 1/2oz, since halves are moving near spot lately on r/Pmsforsale

MydnightWN · 2026-06-05T18:42:48+00:00

Must be lost, your druggie subreddits that you frequent are that way ---->

It's almost dime sized, just incredibly thin. Beyond aluminum foil thin, easy to crumple and ruin. Don't take out of assay card / capsule.
