Goldline Scam & Swiss Gold!

The Swiss 20 Franc gold coin contains 0.1867 troy ounces of gold, and is a little smaller than a US nickel. When the price of gold is at $1385 USD per ounce, the coin is worth about $258 in gold content. That being said, why is Goldline International selling this rather common European gold piece currently for $441, or at a premium of 71%? With this level of premium, gold would have to nearly double in price for a poor investor to break even on this questionable investment! Am I missing something?

Well, let's allow Goldline International's marketing brochure selling points do the talking (with my comments, or rather rebuttals, following immediately after each point in bold type):

Privacy

Unlike many financial assets, clients are not required to provide a Social Security number when they sell certain coins like European gold coins.* According to the Social Security Administration, identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. Consumers are advised to be careful about sharing their social security number with others. You should consult with your tax advisor regarding the proper reporting and taxability for all coins, precious metals, and rare currency.

You can buy as many American Gold or Silver Eagles bullion coins as you like, and no one will ask for your Social Security number. This is blatantly a spurious selling point for the Swiss coins. Moreover, you won't pay more than a 5-7% premium for the Eagles, unlike the Francs from Goldline International.

Liquidity

The European gold coins we offer are composed of high gold purity levels: often 90% pure gold or more. Due to their high gold content and smaller size, these coins are ideal for barter and trade. Further, the European gold coins are internationally recognized and can be traded throughout the world with relative ease.

You can't find a gold coin more liquid in the USA and more pure (.999 pure gold) than the American Gold Eagle. The AGE also has the amount of gold and the purity stamped on the reverse of the coin which aids in the sale and liquidity of the piece. The Swiss 20 Franc coin has no such markings.

Potential Protection Against Confiscation

Expert resource books like the Standard Catalog of World Coins recognize these coins have a collectible value over and above their bullion content. When the United States government last confiscated gold from its citizens via Presidential decree in 1933, coins having a recognized special value to collectors of rare and unusual coins were exempt. If the government outlaws and confiscates gold bullion, we believe rare coins like European gold coins should be exempt.

The Presidential decree of 1933 has been invalidated for decades now. There is NO guarantee that any new law would exempt any gold coins, most especially common coins like the Swiss Franc which numismatic experts say has extremely limited numismatic value above and beyond the coins value in gold bullion.

Buy American Gold and Silver bullion eagles for the best precious metal investment strategy, with a minimal charged premium!

Hyperinflation in the American Civil War

When the average American thinks about hyperinflation (inflation of 50% or more per month), he tends to think of it as a foreign problem. However it's not just countries like Germany, Argentina, Chile, Iceland, Yugoslavia, and Zimbabwe who've experienced the economic devastation caused by the runaway inflation disease called hyperinflation. It happened right here in America during colonial times, and about 150 years ago in the Southern Confederacy during the American Civil War (1861-1865).

When the war broke out in 1861, the South began to issue Treasury Notes to bankroll the war with the North. The rich cotton growers in the Confederacy and trading partners like England demanded payment for their goods in silver and gold. These upper class groups were protected throughout the war and it's aftermath by their wise, if unpatriotic, economic trading stance. The poor, soldiers, and the middle class had no choice, however, but to accept the South's venture into fiat paper money in exchange for their goods and services. The average working Southerner could only stand by and watch as the war progressed and the paper money that represented his wealth became worth less and less. Wealthy planters grew profitable cotton upon which they grew even more rich on silver and gold payments. The Confederate soldier and his destitute family back home starved and went naked, as fewer and fewer merchants were willing to take the increasingly worthless Confederate dollars as payment for needed food, fuel, and supplies.

At the war's end, many common Southerners had lost their farms and everything they owned due to the collapse of the Confederate economy and currency. Only those who dealt in gold and silver had their wealth intact or increased as a result of the conflict. Be warned! What a Southerner could have bought for one Confederate dollar in May 1861 would eventually require $1200 four years later!

$50 Buffalo "Chip" Ripoff Coin

Once more, sleaze merchants are working on yet another scheme to separate people from their money. The National Collector's Mint, whatever that is, is selling a "Tribute Coin" based on the popular and very valuable $50 Buffalo One Ounce Gold Coin. Sold as a "collector's item", this clunker is actually just a cheap bronze replica coated with a WHOLE 31 mg. of PURE GOLD! Of course, 31 milligrams of pure gold is actually .001 troy ounces, or only about $1 worth of the shiny stuff.

The price for this "real prize" of an item is $19.95 + $4.00 for shipping. Yes, it's not a lot of money nowadays, but it would be infinitely easier to just flush the $24 down the toilet and save yourself the trouble of ordering this faux-collectible.

As far as I'm concerned this coin falls into a category even lower than the base metal state quarters that uneducated consumers collect in hopes of a future return some day. I say lower because at least the state quarter slugs will always be worth .25 cents, while this buffalo chip of a coin is unlikely to even guarantee that pathetic value! Bottom line, if the coin isn't a genuine US Mint issued silver or gold precious metal coin, and preferably rare, it is unlikely to ever appreciate in value as a numismatic collectible or in the bullion market.

Don't waste your time and money buying pieces of trash like this replica coin. Use what available funds you have to buy genuine 90% US junk silver dimes, quarters, and halves dated before 1965, or .999 pure silver American Silver Eagles. APMEX and eBay are two good sources for both investments in your financial future!

The Return of Silver & Gold Money

Many voices of sanity like Ron Paul, a Congressman from Texas, are calling for a return to silver and gold money. Silver and gold coinage offers stability to economies afflicted by the overprinting of unbacked paper money and base metal coins. Money minted from precious metals have been used historically by humanity for over 5000 years. Such currency has long offered incentives to save rather than spend by dramatically limiting or even eliminating price inflation, and preserving buying power over long periods of time. "Real" money also forces governments to spend within their limits, since it's impossible to just print silver or gold to pay for expensive social programs without the fiscal necessity of raising taxes.

I believe the following steps would be effective in slowly re-introducing silver and gold coinage back into the money supply of the US:

1. Begin minting a dime sized coin made from 90% silver and 10% copper. The coin must NOT have an assigned value to avoid the possibility of the raw material value of the coin exceeding it's worth as US currency. It was this circumstance that doomed our 90% silver coin program when the price of silver rose in the 1960's. Instead, this coin will have its value set on a regular schedule by the US government about 10-15% above the current price of silver. If the price of silver goes up, the posted value will likewise rise. However, if the price of silver falls the last quoted value will be preserved to maintain economic stability. The additional assigned value for the coin will avoid the market temptation to melt the coins as well as providing a profit or "seigniorage" to cover minting costs. Note: although the new silver coin will not have an assigned value indicated, the silver content in ounces should appear much as it does on the reverse of the American Silver Eagles to build consumer confidence and knowledge.
2. Introduce the new silver coin into the current money supply, and allow it to circulate along with the current paper money and base metal coins. According to Gresham's Law, the bad paper money will drive out the good silver coin. In other words, the American people will begin to save the new silver coins rather than spend them. The same process can then be repeated with gold and even platinum coins. Eventually, we'll be able to remove billions of dollars of fiat money from circulation, while keeping inflation low or non-existent and fostering a new generation of savers for the future.
   
3. The US government is gradually forced to balance the budget as the fiat money supply is slowly scrapped. The citizens of the US will eventually realize that nothing is free in life. "Free" programs like Universal Healthcare may sound great, but deferring the resulting monstrous bill for later generations to pay is not only shortsighted but unconscionable.
   

I expect that the Keynesians, Statists, Inflationists, and Big Banking interests will fight the above fiscal sanity plan tooth and nail. Banks in particular have made obscene profits by manipulating the fiat money supply and interest rates, sucking the wealth from the US worker and forcing him into a virtual slavery. Men like Benjamin Shalom Bernanke, Tim Geithner, and President Obama are unfortunately woefully mired in the failed policies and theories of the past. However, they must be forced by "any means necessary" to realize they've had their chance to experiment with our lives and our national well-being, and failed miserably. Now it's the turn of the sane citizens of the United States to return our country to it's former greatness before hyperinflation and a complete currency collapse devastates the once mighty US!

Silver At Over $150 Per Ounce!

In 1900 the average wage for an unskilled worker in the US was $1 in silver per day. The Morgan Silver dollar minted during this time period contained .7735 troy ounces of silver. So a worker could expect to earn about three quarters of an ounce of silver per day with which he was expected to support himself and his family.

Using a calculator found on measuringworth.com, we find that the same unskilled worker in 2009 would need to earn $122 US per day in order to "enjoy" the same standard of living his ancestor had in 1900 with his silver dollar! Of course, our paper dollars and coinage today are made from worthless unbacked paper and base metals, unlike the Morgan Silver dollar that compensated our 1900 working man. However, a very interesting conclusion can be drawn about the comparative price and value of silver today if we look at these numbers a bit closer.

If the buying power of one 1900 silver dollar is roughly equivalent to $122 in 2009 US money, then why isn't silver selling for $122 for three quarters of an ounce of the precious metal (or around $158 per troy ounce)? The answer is that the price of silver has been manipulated and suppressed by the US Government and the banks for decades.

At the writing of this article silver is hovering around $26.75 per ounce. With the world economies in recession, and eternal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan dragging on, the case for silver finally rocketing to it's true market price exceeding $150 per ounce is looking more and more like a slam dunk.

PS. GOLD BUGS: If our worker had chosen to be paid for five days labor with a 1900 $5 Liberty Half Eagle gold coin, he'd have earned about .242 ounces of gold for his five days of labor. In 2009 he would have needed $610 US to maintain the same living standard. At $610 for almost one quarter ounce of gold means gold should be selling for almost $2500 per ounce instead of the present $1364!

PPS: Gold should double in price in the near future, based on the above wage equivalents, but silver has a lot more room on a percentage basis to grow from $26.75 to $150. Buy gold and silver now!

How Much Should You Pay for Junk Silver?

Junk silver is the term used to describe circulated coins made of silver. In the US, all dimes, quarters, and halves minted before 1965 are 90% silver and 10% copper. When deciding how much to pay for your junk silver you must first know what the current going rate or spot price is for silver that day. You can check the chart at the bottom of this page for an updated silver market price per troy ounce.

Second, you should be aware that $1.40 of junk silver (face value) in any mixture of dimes, quarters, or halves, will equal one ounce of actual pure silver (less the 10% copper per coin). Next, you should multiply the the value of the silver coins by 5% to determine how much premium above and beyond the actual spot price you're willing to pay to obtain the junk silver. If the price on eBay or APMEX exceeds this computed price, you should think carefully before buying.

Lastly, for those whose math skills leave something to be desired, see coinflation.com for a great website that does all the above computations for you through the miracle of computing!

Gold & Silver and Christianity

Revelation 13:16-18

16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The above verses of Revelation are some of the most well known in the Christian Bible. They foretell of a future where the average citizen is part of a worldwide economic / political system that requires membership to participate in the buying and selling of all goods. I imagine such a future must have seemed hard to imagine for Christians just a few generations ago. However, today with all our finances in digital form and duly reported to the government by our employers, banks, and starting in 2011 even eBay will start reporting sales by its vendors to Uncle Sam, the monolithic central control envisioned by the verses in Revelation 13 seem frighteningly plausible!

How can the average bible-believing Christian prepare for the ominous future ahead when faced with the awesome power of the future antichrist's regime? In a few words, gold and silver. Gold and silver have been valued by mankind for over 5000 years of civilization. The government fears and distrusts gold and silver for many reasons, chief of which is the ability of the two precious metals to provide a trading currency that is outside its control and purview. An owner of gold and silver coins, whether they be 90% junk silver American coins minted before 1965, American Silver Eagles, or metal rounds and bars, possesses a means to provide for his family without forced submission to the Antichrist's all-encompassing system of economic control.

If you don't own gold and silver, buy what you can afford ASAP! The life and souls of your family may well be at stake!

PS. I want to comment on Ezekiel 7:19 "They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumbling-block of their iniquity".

Firstly, the verse is referring to the literal end of the world. In particular, the lines chastise those who covet and love gold & silver money above all things. It promises that no relief will be found for such materialists on that fearful day in earthy possessions. However, until that day arrives (like a thief in the night), we will still be expected to clothe and feed our families and ourselves to the best of our abilities. History tells us that gold and silver have served mankind well for over 5000 years in the capacity of "real money", and should continue to be of value for as long as needed.

Dream Gold Mine or Nightmare?

In 1894, an angel allegedly appeared to an ordinary, unremarkable Mormon by the name of John Hyrum Koyle and guided him to a mountaintop on the outskirts of Salem, Utah. Inside the mountain the heavenly figure showed him nine vast caverns of gold. According to the story as imparted by the angel, this gold once belonged to an extinct tribe of ancient Americans, but was hidden away from them due to their greed by God. The angel further revealed to Koyle that this gold was to be discovered prior to the Second Coming of Christ, when it would serve to help the faithful survive the tribulations of the end times. Koyle purchased a claim here and began mining operations, selling stock to local faithful who believed in his vision. By the 1940s, however, no gold was forthcoming. Koyle was excommunicated by his Mormon church in 1948 and died a year later.

Koyle's dream turned into a nightmare for him and his foolish investors, but you can realize your own dreams of financial independence by buying real physical gold and silver now!

Gold or Silver for Survival Trading?

A financial disaster (severe hyperinflation, SHTF, TEOTWAWKI, or a complete US dollar collapse) has occurred. Things are finally improving, and law and order is restored to your area. People and businesses are buying and selling again. Some people are using barter, but carrying around a basket of tomatoes while looking for someone with eggs is tiring to say the least. What type of gold or silver would be best to have on hand at this point to make commerce easier?

Let's review junk silver (pre-1965 US coins), American Silver Eagles (ASE's), and Gold coins and their utility in a post-economic disaster trading environment. Junk silver coins like dimes, quarters, and halves can be thought of as singles, fives, and ten dollar bills respectively. An ASE is like a twenty and a ten dollar bill. A gold ounce coin is like a thousand dollar bill.

I believe junk silver coins and ASE's will have the most utility in trading due to their lower value. When you buy food and gas today you usually use lower denomination bills because it's easy for the business you're patronizing to make change. Imagine the look on a convenience store clerk's face if you paid for your twenty dollar purchase with a thousand dollar bill! Chances are he'd turn you away because he couldn't make change. I imagine the same thing would happen after a dollar collapse as well. If you're dead set on having some gold coins, then purchase the one-tenth of an ounce US gold coins. They demand a higher premium than one ounce coins, but at least they're more like a hundred dollar bill - large, but not too big to make change.

Preparing for Hyperinflation

Hyperinflation by definition is 50% or more of inflation per month! The US Dollar is an inherently worthless piece of paper, un-backed by gold, silver, oil, or any object of real value. The moves by the FED to devalue the dollar and destroy it's once lofty reputation for stability are foolish and possibly traitorous. Many citizens of this once great nation are asking themselves what they can do to prepare for the inevitable decline and fall of the US Dollar. I recommend the following list of preparations:

1. Food & Water - Store a least a few months of food and water for your family. Survival food like Meals-Ready-To-Eat (MRE's) and dehydrated foods by Mountain House are ideal. They keep for years and require little cooking preparation.During periods of hyperinflation food and water disruptions will occur, and periodic lawlessness, riots etc., will disrupt transportation of vital foodstuffs. Supermarkets will run out of various foods, and prices will soar. A supply of food and water will keep you and your family off the streets during times of violence.

2. Medicine - Keep a supply of over-the-counter painkillers in stock and a few months supply of any vital drugs you take. If you can find a friendly doctor, get him to prescribe some emergency antibiotics. If not, I've heard of people who buy antibiotics for fish which are commonly available at pet stores and in pet catalogs. I can't say personally, but the scuttlebutt is that the same factories that make "fish antibiotics" also make drugs for humans as well. Do your own research and obey all US laws is the best advice I can give here.

3. Self Defence - If you're an anti-gun pacifist skip this part and pray to whatever god or gods you believe in. Everyone else, buy rifles, shotguns, and Glock handguns with ammo and learn to shoot them. During hyperinflation law and order can break down, at least temporarily. You can't count on the police or 911.

4. Buy physical silver and gold and store it safely at home where you can get at it easily. Safety deposit boxes can be robbed, expropriated by a hostile government, or made unavailable by "bank holidays". Pre-1965 US dimes, quarters, and halves are 90% silver and were once used as real money in the US. American Silver Eagles are also good to have as a trading resource. They are minted by the US Government and are official currency, and contain one ounce of pure silver. APMEX and Ebay are good sources for both types of coins.

Gold & Silver and Hyperinflation

The definition of hyperinflation is 50% or more inflation per month! Hyperinflation has been the inevitable fate of all paper or fiat money unbacked by gold or silver since the Chinese first invented the idea a thousand years ago.

Hyperinflation robs the middle classes, the poor, and the retired on fixed incomes who don't own real assets like gold, silver, oil, food etc. In the picture on the left you see a German woman in 1923 using near worthless German banknotes as fuel for her cooking fire!

The only Germans who avoided starvation and impoverishment were those with the foresight to purchase and hold real money like gold and silver coins. Review the chart below and see how the prices of gold and silver climbed as the German paper mark lost value:

Nov 30, 1923	543,750,000,000	87,000,000,000,000

So if you had 1 oz of Silver and sold it Nov 30, 1923 you would have been a Billionaire. If you had 1 oz of gold and sold it Nov 30, 1923 you would have been a trillionaire. How much that bought you is not told. But I am sure those people that had gold and silver survived better then those who didn't.
