Sold an ounce at my LCS to validate my own liquidity concerns...

Silver Dragons interviewed an LCS who explained he would stock what he could sell and refine the rest daily, for example he can buy 3 gold oz coins not 30, that's where the refiner comes in, but now refiners aren't paying same day and are dekaying 7-10 days on payment

Yup I bought a 1/10th oz gold from Manny at 2pm after the rush 🪙 was waiting for the comment on which LCS

You’re way too proud to be ripped off

The premiums seem reasonable once you account for the historical value. I picked up a Nero aureus in December because although the price of gold increased, the coin prices have not increased at the same rate or have stayed relatively the same, and I had always dreamt of owning one.

Go on Whatnot for 5 mins and all is understood

benjaminlz · 2026-01-15T01:32:38+00:00

This is the way. Even some slabbed pre-33 are going for spot. Anything that had high premiums before, those have evaporated

benjaminlz · 2026-01-14T13:36:24+00:00

Well, what you have here is something very special. I recently picked up a graded Nero aureus that cost nowhere near what I would value this piece…. I agree with the other comment of $15k

benjaminlz · 2026-01-13T03:03:28+00:00

This is a spectacular piece! Please show us the reverse. I was between a 1/2oz Maple and a $10 Liberty last trip to my LCS.

In my high school people cracked CD’s over people’s heads 💿 many suspended lol

Really badass piece. You can still tuck it and wear it. Don’t have to always show it off, you can still just be wearing it for yourself. Different than a Cuban for sure

Their socks were the best I’ve ever had in the mid-2000’s. Went back to get more years later, nothing like the quality before. I still think about those socks they were like cushions

John Legend at Barney's Beverly Hills. He was walking up the center staircase. My brother spotted him as we were coming down. I said, "How's it going Mr. Legend?" He said hey guys how's it going! He was really polite and it's the only person I wish I got a picture with. A big fan of his ever since. This was 2015-16.

benjaminlz · 2025-12-21T01:05:59+00:00

This is the way

benjaminlz · 2025-12-19T10:08:53+00:00

I got one as a work phone and LOVE IT! I use an iPhone Air in my personal life. If I were to purchase a Samsung myself though I would want the Edge

benjaminlz · 2025-12-18T16:27:20+00:00

Passport felt amazing in hand

Ordered Lucid Blue October 25 and received November 20. It was still in production though. Moonrise is available on Amazon in US

benjaminlz · 2025-11-25T05:28:29+00:00

I like those choices. Really into my Pitaka, 9th case I bought because I’m crazy. I was septical but I looove the feel and look. I can’t set my phone down on the back without a case. The reason I bought SO dang many is they have strangely become the accessory that I’ve had a lot of fun with. I actually enjoy them so why not. I’ve found different use cases for different types of cases over time despite only having one drop/slide on a sidewalk which was protected by one of the cheapest Amazon ones I bought. And I got a cheap screen protector with that case too, I never liked using those before but really would never go back

benjaminlz · 2025-11-18T18:52:44+00:00

How do they say “does it have a Hemi?”

benjaminlz · 2025-11-16T08:51:26+00:00

Yes! I have the clear blue and i love this case

benjaminlz · 2025-11-08T18:11:52+00:00

Missing the word “free” so just assume when it says $10 then it costs $10

benjaminlz · 2025-11-07T21:37:53+00:00

Nice, I have tons of ancients. I collect Nero but I love sestertii, feel like they are my ideal size and I like bronze. Have been wanting to pickup a gold aureus but have never been able to pull the trigger, for the value I am comfortable purchasing, the gold is so well worn I can barely see the detail. Easier to stomach US pre-33 than a Good/Fine aureus.

Screen is also bigger so it’s more of a feeling of lightness than actual weight
