In case anyone is bothering with eBay anymore, I did notice APMEX has a special-priced VF $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle for a little under melt after Bucks and CC rewards (e.g. eBay Mastercard). Item #113861526560.

With gold spot so high even 5% Bucks almost maxes out at $97 for this coin, so being only 5% doesn't really hurt savings in this case. Out of stock

Recently I've caught myself tapping various things and listening to the sound they make to get an idea of the material: sculptures (solid, hollow? ceramic, metal, wood?), furniture (wood, polymer?), a piano music holder (plastic? lightweight wood?). We naturally use a ping test to test everyday materials.

Don't buy precious metals unless you can apply this essential test (and compare with how a coin should sound). Due to their construction, coins are far easier to ping test than bars. Both are impossible to ping test unless you can hold the coin bare.

EDIT: another slogan idea: If you can't ping it, don't believe it.

No ping? No bling.
