Poll Question: Are you shifting your gold collecting strategy due to the current market – buying fractional coins, looking for deals, or waiting it out?

I bought quite a few double eagles when gold was in the 1,200-1,400 range years back, when I thought gold was undervalued and you could buy them close to bullion price slabbed in MS 63-64 grades. I have not bought any gold coins since gold passed 2,500. I think gold is so very high now, partly as a reaction to Trump’s dumb tariffs, which will cause inflation and large job losses, and partly because central banks in India and China have been buying large quantities of gold bullion.

I think the price will settle out now and trade in the 3,000-3,300 range, but I think it will head much higher when the public sees the disaster that Trump’s trade policies will do to the economy. I would then expect gold to possibly hit 4,000. I will stay on the sidelines and buy the silver and copper coins I need for my collection and mostly avoid gold.

I have been rebalancing my collection, selling better date foreign coins from the 1800s and Mexican Libertads 1.205 oz near spot. Holding onto better date pre-1933 gold, waiting for premiums to pick up.  With the dollar 10 percent weaker, I am not too concerned about prices dipping below $3,000/oz.

This is probably a good time to take some exposure off the table and take a profit. Then wait and see. It was not that long ago we saw gold not hold above $2,000 per ounce.

I decided to put together another set of Indian Head $2.50 gold pieces. Buying fractional gold, in other words.
