Although placer gold is not 24K, it can be sold at close to the spot price to people who market paydirt. You can also market paydirt yourself. There are a lot of bloggers who buy paydirt from various suppliers and then review it, showing themselves panning it out etc.
The mine has the benefit of saving refining costs.
My order today came to 1787 Per Troy Ounce no surcharge for CC use and they will split payment so you can pay via several sources. Spot price is 1820.
Contrast that with a gold coin/bullion seller using direct wire for 1918 for 1 0z gold coin random selection, same coin 1995 via Paypal or CC. Bullion at same site. 1874 direct wire and 1949 via Paypal or cc.
I'm not affiliated with any companies, I got ripped off by a bullion company at 500 dollars. JM Bullion is JM Bullshit!
I ordered 16,000 gold bullion from JM Bullion, they advertise that delivery will be signed for. When the gold never arrived I went on their web site to inquire what was up, their site said to wait xx days then call. While perusing their site I found a page that said because of COVID the delivery via courier doesn't always get the required signature, IE they drop at your door.
So I waited the xx days and called, and they tracked that my shipment had been picked up by the courier, but was then lost. I had a choice to cancel the order or re-order, with price at current. Since they are not obtaining signatures in many cases and I'd already waited days to be home during delivery. I elected to cancel.
Gold had went down so I got refunded 15,500. I would NOT have ordered in the first place if I'd known what a poorly handled shipping problem would cost me.
Fuuuuck. Ya that sucks. Thanks for the share, that's good info.
I'm sorry that happened!
