1/2 oz GOLD CHALLENGE!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I thought it would be fun to mix things up a bit and try a new sort of "for sale or trade" thread. I posted this across the street the other day and I've had some supportive comments about it, so I thought I'd cross-post it here.

 

Here's the idea: I'm going to start this thread out with a group of items that I am willing to trade for 1/2 ounce of gold (any combo of fractional MS gold eagles or gold britannias) OR sell for the equivalent spot price.

 

I will try and start out my lot at close to or higher than the spot value of 1/2 oz Au. Then every day or two, I'll add something else to the group until someone pulls the trigger.

 

 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEMS FOR SALE OR TRADE: ---- SPOT FOR 1/2 oz Au = $460 (3/21)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ADDED 3/22:

 

Group of Eight American Silver Eagle Proofs - Includes several better dates.

All coins are in original mint case, with outer box and COA. I took a look through the boxes and I don't see any milk spots.

DETAILS:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We'll each cover our own shipping. There will be a 5 business day return policy for both of us; if either person wants to reverse the trade, then we do so. Regarding the gold, I only ask that the coins be MS, not proof, and that they not be banged up.

 

If you want to simply buy everything, I'll take a USPS money order or you may add 3% for paypal and shipping is included.

NEW SILVER ADDED 3/24

 

 

Curently at a $500 estimated value. 1/2 oz of gold is at $463.

 

I'm not sure if I can (or should!) add anything else to this or not. I may have to just put everything on eBay soon.

[pendragon1998]

Not adding anything new tonight.

 

If anyone out there is interested in a trade, can you let me know if I'm getting close, or if I'm wasting my time with this?

If I don't hear from anyone within a day or two, I'll just prepare to either offer the coins separately here or on eBay.

 

 

Would there be any more interest if I broke this down into groups to trade for smaller amounts of gold? If anyone is interested but can't do the 1/2 oz, let me know and perhaps we can work out a trade.

Sorry, I don't have any half ounces, but I like this idea though.

[pendragon1998]

Thanks, Jeff. Just to clarify, I'm also up for, say, two quarter ounces, five 1/10s, or something like that. While I'd prefer US eagles, Canada Maple Leaves or Britannias, I'm flexible about what form the gold came in at present.

[pendragon1998]

Here are a ton of new photos of the proof eagles. Sorry for any dust on the capsules; it's hard to avoid.

 

 

 

[pendragon1998]

1/2 oz of Gold is down to around $460 - Everything is still up for grabs at an estimated $500 value.

 

Am I close? Make me an offer!
