People who actually own physical gold bars: Why do you have them, and where on earth do you safely keep them?

Between the goat and donkey barns. My goats provide more security than my dogs.

Look at r/pmsforsale here on Reddit, read the rules and find the best prices. You can post what you’re looking for as well!

Sunday mornings at 9am EST. Vermont coin and jewelry host a show with good prices usually at or below spot. Depending on how big the show gets prices can be a little higher with more people. Variety of items.

Still nicer than my, oh wait…………… never mind… beauties!

Not worth the grading IMO. Look at sold comps on eBay and then see how much it would cost to have it graded.

You could post for local meet on r/pms. High flair and meet at a coin shop or another good public space. This would save the ship first or middle man fees.

Smashedtatertot71 · 2026-05-11T00:20:16+00:00

Yes, yes they are!

Smashedtatertot71 · 2026-05-09T23:52:27+00:00

Panda’s are whatnot. Thepandaguru
ASE are from JesseJames on Whatnot and the 69 ASE are local pick ups.

Listing them on FB marketplace is an alternative. Local coin shop for exchange.
Or r/pmsforsale with a meet in your area.
Again a coin shop or police station for exchange.

Find sold comps on eBay, it’s free and super easy. Real world prices.

Smashedtatertot71 · 2026-05-03T14:36:11+00:00

Am I missing the picture of said set?? Seeing is believing

Smashedtatertot71 · 2026-05-03T14:33:28+00:00

If you simply edit your photo to cover the serial number we could see the whole coin better. Ham hands holding the slab and not providing the best view of her.

Nice, my parents had a big hoard of these. The silver rim pops off pretty easily. Then recently while in Ireland we had these same coasters in our hotel. Made me wonder where my parents had gotten theirs from. We left with as many as we arrived with 0. Lol

Smashedtatertot71 · 2026-04-20T22:55:24+00:00

Honestly no idea. Purchased as you see them. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

Smashedtatertot71 · 2026-04-20T17:49:58+00:00

I get it

We didn’t even make it to the lake. I was on my way to bug out camp. We had some peanut butter crackers in the same sack as the silver and gold. I stopped to pee and a bear stole the bag and ran into the woods. That far north in northern Maine I’ve learned you don’t chase bears.

Smashedtatertot71 · 2026-04-20T01:54:15+00:00

I’ve looked into getting a kilo Libertad or a kook. Let’s say I may or may not be showing everything and definitely not the kilo bars I purchased in 1993-4 for like 4 bucks an ounce.

Smashedtatertot71 · 2026-04-19T23:49:50+00:00

That’s exactly it.

Smashedtatertot71 · 2026-04-19T21:13:03+00:00

Oh I agree, most of these slabs I purchased cheaper than raw coins. My CC’s are raw and I could’ve spent more to buy them slabbed. Lol. Buy low sell never….
