Mine are fractional but commemorative from the 1984 and 1988 Olympics. I should do a post on them sometime. I went through a phase where I bought a ton of gold jewelry from yard sales and what not a long while back. I have a decent amount and am up about 700% on my original purchase costs.. not a bad average. One day I'd like to get a few coins or bars instead.
Ho Ho Ho - He's on his way soon.. If you've been good that is.

Oh wow, that's pretty awesome. I bet it's harder to do that sort of thing these days. Everyone thinks their stuff is priceless and sites like eBay make it easier for them to know what it is really worth.
Oh yeah. Plus it's not as safe anymore. people are nuts.
When times are tough, that the time to head out to the yard sales on the weekends and ask if they have any gold they want to sell. People if desperate will part with it at 60% of the value for the quick buck. Just have to be careful and buy the right testing equipment so you don't get fooled.
Ah, okay, that is a really good point.
