Prices of precious metals changed narrowly on Friday, except for palladium, and all of them recorded weekly gains, except for palladium. Advances for the week were the first in five weeks for gold and in six weeks for silver.
On Friday, gold for December delivery shed $7.20, or 0.4%, to settle at $1,939.90 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Throughout the day, the marketplace paid close attention to the annual Federal Reserve symposium held in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and listened to comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
"Gold’s reaction to Powell’s signal that the Fed is on hold but vigilant is somewhat disappointing, suggesting demand at current levels may be limited," Reuters quoted Tai Wong, a New York-based independent metals trader. "We are likely in a trading range, though a close under $1,900 could trigger some liquidation."
This week, gold prices recorded a gain of $23.40, or 1.2%, following four consecutive weeks of declines that had accumulated to $50.10, or 2.6%. Year to date, the yellow metal has increased by 6.3%.
Looking forward to the upcoming week, Kitco News offers the following forecasts via their Wall Street vs. Main Street surveys:
"This week, 12 Wall Street analysts participated in the Kitco News Gold Survey, and they were evenly split on gold’s direction. Five experts, or 42%, expected to see higher gold prices next week, while another five analysts, or 42%, predicted a drop in price. Two analysts, or 17%, were neutral on gold for the coming week.
Meanwhile, 559 votes were cast in online polls. Of these, 388 respondents, or 69%, looked for gold to rise next week, 114, or 20%, expect it will be lower, and 57 voters, or 10%, were neutral in the near term."
Rising for the sixth time in seven sessions, silver for September edged up by nearly half a cent, or 0.02%, to settle at $24.234 an ounce. As for the week, silver prices soared by $1.50, or 6.6%, snapping a five-week streak of losses that had reached $2.46, or 9.8%. Year to date, the precious metal has inched 0.8% higher.
In other precious metals, both on Friday and for the week:
-
October platinum rose by $5.20, or 0.6%, closing at $948.20 an ounce, resulting in a weekly gain of 3.6%.
- Palladium for September delivery declined by $15.50, or 1.3%, to end at $1,229.10 an ounce, resulting in a weekly loss of 2.5%.
Reviewing their performance since the beginning of the year, platinum has fallen by 12.4%, while palladium has dropped by 31.6%.

It’s not a good sign when your fed chair scratches his head and tells Jackson hole he was wrong, not our expected result, and nothing has ever performed like this. Please. Pass me that magic 8 ball you had earlier. The fortune teller, not politician Adderall
Dazed, Brother, what do you think about the DoJ suing Musk for not hiring illegal immigrants to work at Space X. I was thinking, seeing all those people of colour crossing our southern border, that the food industry would be running in high gear pumping out all that Mexican/South American cuisine for us. What I didn’t know was they were actually high tech engineers, chip and software designers, avionics and propulsion experts, to name a few. And to think I was planning on taking a trip to space in the near future. I think I’ll wait now until after Garland… Read more »
I posted my opinion on that already. I think I suggested space x hire a bunch of Iranians and teach em about rocketry propulsion. I was gonna suggest they show russia since they can’t get space program going, but that would be racist as it promotes growth for a predominantly white culture. We all know they wouldn’t weaponize it. Looks like India will have to do it.
Hi Dazed and Coinfused, Tesla has a bunch of Chinese citizens as employees and one has even been running the operations for him in China. He is now running the operations for North America and Europe too. He is Musk’s number 2. He is still a Chinese Citizen and also holds a New Zealand passport. From Reuters, Jan 3rd 2023. “Exclusive: Tesla makes China boss highest-profile executive after Musk”– “China chief Tom Zhu has been promoted to take direct oversight of the electric carmaker’s U.S. assembly plants as well as sales operations in North America and Europe, according to an… Read more »
More spreading of misinformation, Craig. They are not illegal. They are legal Refugees and legal Asylum seekers. They did it the “right” way, which I repeatedly hear is all the Republicans are asking for.
Interestingly, Musk himself was not a US citizen until 2002. He started his first company in America in 1995. I am not meaning to imply he was a refugee or asylum seeker, he got in through his Canadian Citizenship. I wonder if he did not have Canadian Citizenship though, if he would not have applied as one of those from South Africa.
Thanks for clarifying that Jeff. So all one has to do to become a ‘legal’ refugee is cross our border whatever the means, whether under bales of hay or in the back of semis trailers. We should have you running the Immigration Department and all our woes would be solved. By the way genius, have you seen the number of encounters the border agents have had with those on our wanted terrorist list? Or are they just ‘legal asylum seekers’ too?
Well Craig, Congress can change the rules if they have the will. All it takes is a little compromise. And how could there be so many encounters, the Big, Beautiful Wall Trump built is keeping them all out now, right? Didn’t Biden just try to start using an app that people could use to apply without actually leaving their home country but some judge shot it down? Don’t you understand that instead of constantly pointing fingers both sides need to get serious and start working together? If you are so smart, do you have a solution, or just complaints?
Come on Jeff, you’re smarter than that. The wall is not complete and under biden the doors are wide open. As to what needs to be done, we need one thing…Law and Order. I’m thrilled you assume I have all the knowledge to get this accomplished, but I have to say, Jeff, it’ll take more than one person. It’ll take the whole country working together and that’s the rub.I know this is a big country as I’ve travelled much of it, but do you think bringing South America’s populous here, along with others, is a good idea. Go into the… Read more »
Thank you for undercutting Trumps claim that he finished it, Craig. Or are you a liberal masking as a conservative just to help take Trump down? You assumed I have all the knowledge to accomplish it (“We should have you running the Immigration Department and all our woes would be solved. By the way genius..“), Was that one of your “respectful” comments? (“I don’t believe I’ve been disrespectful to anyone here, unless you consider disagreeing on a subject as disrespectful“). Call that comment a reflection, if you will. If it is a simple disagreement and both have laid out their… Read more »
I gave you an extra day, Craig. Don’t make any more blatantly political comments here unless you do some “DD” on them first. You do not know enough about your subject to talk intelligently. The answer to how many laws we have in the US now is nobody knows. We have so many laws now that nobody can keep track of them all. That old saying about “ignorance of the law is no excuse”? Well, it is a damn fine excuse now. It appears you aren’t even looking at what my replies to you are. Is that because you were… Read more »
congress can enforce the laws. the laws say to seek asylum in the first harboring country. which they crossed over many. and even mexico offered them jobs, training and housing and no need to learn a new language or culture. as life here is way different than other places. there are people that applied for visa and for entry years ago from their homeland. those people are delayed even further now due to the in your face immediate decide on the spot. so rather than follow the law and stay in mexico until they are called or processed or seek… Read more »
“so rather than follow the law and stay in mexico until they are called or processed or seek asylum or refuge there, by coming here is itself the illegal part.“–No, we made the law allowing anyone to claim asylum if they show up at the border. Change it and then they will be illegal. And as always, we punish the victims. How about punishing the smugglers who are getting many thousands of dollars per person instead? “if they are all entering legally as you proclaim, and they just walked thousands of miles through snake infested and cartel controlled country, if… Read more »
“so rather than follow the law and stay in mexico until they are called or processed or seek asylum or refuge there, by coming here is itself the illegal part.”–No, we made the law allowing anyone to claim asylum if they show up at the border. It was a poor law, though maybe not when it was written. Change it and then they will be illegal. And as always, we punish the victims. How about punishing the smugglers who are getting many thousands of dollars per person instead? “if they are all entering legally as you proclaim, and they just… Read more »
D and C, Great post! I’m really impressed with your common sense knowledge and recall of facts. Are you utilising an AI program for your posts? I don’t know where Jeff gets his info from, but it’s blatantly apparent to me that he’s never been anywhere near our southern border. If he had, he’d know what rubbish his post is. Jeff, you need to travel a bit with your eyes opened. By the way, Dazed, the Biden Administration is auctioning off all those steel wall sections for pennies on the dollar. Talk about the American taxpayer getting hosed again. Is… Read more »
And you need for your brain to travel a bit with its eyes open. We all know it is bad, Craig. How long has it been this way now. Just since Biden took over? Smooth sailing previously, is that what you say? What is your suggestion to fix it?
Don’t have any? Tell Congress you demand action, don’t tell us here.
He’s not Chinese if he holds a new Zealand passport. Ain’t that how it works. Didn’t DeSantis try to keep American land from being bought by Chinese so immediately the equal rights folk sued. We can’t buy Chinese land. 4 Tyson plants to close. All that chicken and eggs. And the salmonella, and the meat shortages. Tainted Chinese owned plants. But what can ya do. I guess the only thing you can do is get diarrhea or become vegan. But people are still buying Tesla. Shares up again. Manipulates bitcoin and doge. But as long as he provides internet to Ukraine, he is… Read more »
About Iran. What’s the problem? Are you afraid to be labeled as racist for not hiring them, or anti American because you believe them when they say they won’t use to annihilate the infidels. Cant err on the side of caution? Matter of fact, they offered a bounty, or was it Iraq (hard to keep up with the ME countries that plot against us) for trump for Solimani. I think it is still valid, you and major d should team up and collect it. Be American heroes. 2 birds one stone and not a stone they usually cast at women. I… Read more »
So what is your qualm with elon? Cuz he turned his back on silicon valley and moved to Texas? Cuz he helped Puerto Rico after Maria? Is it from polluting American land building battery factories and car plants? Or jealous of his tiny home mansion? Ah, must be the solar roofs and you have large investment in oil. Or maybe you hate Ford too and upset he signed a deal for power stations. No? Oh it’s because he couldn’t get his boring machine overseas to save those people trapped underground. Is it because he is from Africa? Didn’t use family fortune to… Read more »
But that’s the problem with America. You can’t be fair. There is no official language. No official race. Other countries host tech and science shows and collab together, sure. I’m sure toyota workers visiting US booked tours in Ford factory and vice versa. Germany has tesla factory, nobody worried about them stealing engineering secrets. And while the middle east and Russia are fans of cars as weapons it isn’t a tactic used often. And bin laden failed using one the first time in 1995 I think. Should have hired that guy from Oklahoma huh. But for government research and certain contracts hard… Read more »
Doesn’t affect me, I don’t use Twitter, x or whatever, meta, insta, tiktok. I don’t follow anyone. And while it may not seem relevant, they say never meet your heroes. And I suppose with enough time and rope they’ll show you who they really are. John Wayne was allegedly the man’s man. The kind polite cow poke that did good and saves the damsel. But later is hated for acting in movies killing white people dresses like Indians. Or threatening that lady on stage. That coach for Spain. Was a hero for a while. Kissed a chick allegedly, and now… Read more »
I pointed out in the comments above how you are still painting with a broad brush (or your statements are factually incorrect to start), which invalidates those and those that follow, like this. You have not at all shown any examples of my painting with a broad brush. That is laughable. I love detail. Copy and paste one of my comments you consider a broad brush one, and lets examine or deconstruct it together.
“But that’s the problem with America. You can’t be fair. “–Why can’t we? You say that, and I am sorry but if you say it, it doesn’t make it true. I say we can. Treating people fairly doesn’t even mean we need to speak the same language or have anything in common. Otherwise, I guess I am forbidden to treat anyone who is different than me fairly. If your first sentence is wrong I have no need to read the rest ( I just realized. If you have not gotten the point as I deconstructed your earlier posts point by point,… Read more »
“So what is your qualm with elon? “–I did not bring him up (you did) or say anything bad about him. Show me what I said that was bad. Your first question invalidates the whole rest of your post. Garbage in, Garbage out, like I said in another post (about AI).
“About Iran. What’s the problem? Are you afraid to be labeled as racist for not hiring them“–How is hiring people who are here legally equate to hiring Iranians? Your comment implied that, not mine. Or did you mean to make the Iranian’s you suggested Musk hire legal citizens? Why?
“He’s not Chinese if he holds a new Zealand passport. Ain’t that how it works.“—He is not still a Chinese citizen if he holds a New Zealand passport? I guess Musk isn’t an American Citizen then either, because he holds 3 different passports. Passport is just a document that allows you to enter that country’s borders. You make comments that show you do not have enough knowledge to make them, if you want to be taken seriously. Slow down and research your statements before you post them. If you have basic errors in your first sentence, why should I waste my… Read more »

No metals run guys. Sadly, mint prices won’t go down either. Buy your tickets to fiji and bring and empty suitcase
“There ya go minor p. Or is Reuters too far right of cnn and BBC for you too?” What brought this latest bout of your verbal diarrhea on, Dazed and Coinfused? I don’t see any minors (or Majors) in this thread. Are you sure you are not SENZA? He tended to carry his perceived grudges from article to article, like it appears you are doing here. Maybe later after I have checked out the other recent articles here I will figure out what made you angry this time. The post would have been great without the whole sentence I copied… Read more »
Can’t recall, but others posted how I didn’t insult or whatever, and probably until a few days ago that was true. I’ve never insulted Seth, or anyone else intentionally. Tried to keep it lighthearted humor. Every joke not funny, every joke not a hit, and every joke not in good taste, depending on perspective. But you’ll probably also notice Major D Bag. Major D(ouche) Major D as in D(ick) Minor P the opposite. You know, the spineless type that tongue in cheek think veiled insults or “hiding” insults aimed at me under replies to others, as until 1 or 2… Read more »
I cannot say I have noticed Major insulting people with no provocation. I have noticed you insulting many people or groups of people regularly. Not personal insults necessarily of specific people here, but personal none the less. If Major D happens to be a Black man for example, how do you think he would feel hearing you regularly posting “Blacks” this or “Blacks” that? Of which I have seen plenty of those from you over the past two days alone. Don’t you think that would make it “personal” even if you don’t think so? Regardless, I can see you are… Read more »
D and C,
I love your insertions to finish the D in Major D’s call name. The last one is probably the truest, although it should be with a ‘small d’. Now come on people, as the cable guy says ‘that’s just funny.’ Dazed, I don’t care what someone with a ‘small d’ calls me, I enjoy the banter and certainly enjoy reading your posts however long they might be. They usually contain a lot of history that most people have forgotten about or simple ignore. As I’ve always said, keep them coming and just disregard people like little d.Lol.
thanks. sad that people clamor for the truth and history and get mad or upset when it does not end like they thought. i remember when comedy was funny, but even kevin hart ,and katt williams, and steve harvey and just about every comedian since will smith showed his thug side and slapped the taste out of chris rock mouth. now it is a running joke not to run on stage and hit them. dave chappelle was always a good comedian, but you see how that turned out. walked the walked. did not like the direction of the show with… Read more »
Well, another long opinionated rant with sometimes even opinions that aren’t even worth mentioning anywhere much less here (not offensive or only mildly so at worst, but mostly just empty), but I do believe you are making an effort to remove your worst parts, Dazed and Coinfused. You didn’t say “Blacks” this or that anywhere. Thank you. Look at the length again. I read it all. It can be summed up as a foot of text just to tell us that “times change”. If you want to keep writing novels here, it is your choice but sometimes shorter and more… Read more »
Lol…I said ‘little d’…your mommy is going to give you such a spanking little boy. Lol!
little d,
Why is it when you liberal loons can’t win a debate the first thing you have to resort to is accusing them of being gay or lesbian. I’m neither and certainly unaffected by your simpleton remarks. But please keep showing your level of intelligence and maturity, it does give me a good chuckle! By the way, little d, D and C is way out of your league.
Craig, Have we had a debate yet? Is that how debates go? One side puts forth an opinion, the other side points out some facts that contradict the opinion, and then we start insulting each other? I thought both sides were supposed to put forth some factual information to back up their opinions? I don’t remember the debate teams just insulting each other. Have debates changed that much since I was young? If you tell me that is how politicians do it, I would like to remind you we are not politicians. Or are you one? That would explain a… Read more »
Good reply, Major D. Craig will first have to learn the meaning of “debate” before he can participate in one. Unfortunately, facts are apparently forbidden to his side, so I am not sure how he can participate even after he learns just what a “debate” is.
Awww. Ba ba baaa. Ba baa. Baaaaaa
Aw princess. I didn’t think you’d read it since it contained facts and knowledge, judging by your underwhelming sounding post you found those facts hurtful too. It must be hard being allergic to intelligence. I thought cedar in Texas was bad, but I won’t even pretend to understand the pain and struggle you must be feeling. What made ya finally link directly to me? My brilliance too much, ya can’t find a shadow to hide in? There’s a brightness adjustment on your phone and TV, but it won’t make ya any smarter. But that won’t stop you from trying to… Read more »
In my opinion, he is holding his own.
Ok Major D,
Can you lay off the insults to Dazed and Coinfused for a day or so?
(Craig might still want to play). Just to see if he is starting to understand. If you have to leave some unanswered, so be it. It is not like you will miss the opportunity to respond if he doesn’t. You can still go back and reply to them all a day or two from now if you have to. I already told Dazed and Coinfused the same thing above.
Jeff,
I don’t need a publicist or a censor.
How about some empathy and respect for the others here that might hold a different opinion than you do, Craig? A few actual facts to back up your opinion would help as well, and start telling us where your “facts” came from so we can do some “DD” on them.
Are you having fun trading insults yet? You are improving this site by the day.
The story is catalytic converter thefts are down, or not in the news as much. So… horray for bad investments?
Maybe we should be friends with Korea as they hold all the stolen bitcoin. When will BRIC oil go ipo so we can invest. It’s gonna take off like a Russian rocket to the moon. Going up, but won’t come down. All on one overnight charge at a Walmart parking lot. Roll joints, not coal
D and C,
There really isn’t much in the news these days, with the exception of trump, trump, trump on the overwhelming number of liberal channels and biden, biden, biden on fox. I can’t watch any of them anymore. Even the business channels have morphed into political programs. Every talking head on a program is scripted, programmed, and monitored. If he/she says something against the curriculum, they’re gone. Even on the sports channels. Does anyone wonder why Germany did what it did in the 30’s. We should all be concerned with so much influence and power in a few institutions.
when you have nothing to run on then you create the villain. and did they not say that he who protest the loudest committed the foul. in 4 years all we heard was hillary. and for the last 7 trump. well trump not in office now. so what is the reason that in 24 hours 7 days a week there is not any other stories. we got rid of gas stoves, the people up north are going to love the heat pumps. at least with electricity out they could heat homes or cook or boil water. did it cause autism?… Read more »
“well trump not in office now. so what is the reason that in 24 hours 7 days a week there is not any other stories.“–Uhhh, Indictments? Trials? Not newsworthy? Are you kidding? Craig started with Biden and Trump. You covered Clinton, Trump, Aaron Rogers, subsidizing the $40,000 electric cars, “juan from guatemala”, “marie curie”, and this is just from your “first” paragraph. You end with “oprah and michelle and whoopie”. You wander all over the place. Why? You have no cohesion. Longer does not equate to truer. “I agree” might have done just fine in this case. Just a suggestion.… Read more »
OMG. I just had a Brandon moment. What if we do bring back the half cent, but make them buy 1 get one free for a penny. Spain’s coach should apply to team USA, no way those dude chick’s would ever give him any size peck.
Did we give up on truth in advertising completely? 1cent (1/2cent+1/2cent=1 cent for those not good at math) for 1 cent means nothing was free. I am guessing Agolf Twitler would be on board with that. This is just considered harmless humor, right? Is everyone laughing at my own version of Dazed and Coinfused’s clever humor? I am just trying to join in your version of “fun with politicians”, Dazed and Coinfused. Am I succeeding? I once told SENZA I would match him insult for insult if he continued. Do I actually have to reach the point where I tell… Read more »
Jeff, Why do you people get so sensitive over reading a post? Any post. As I’ve said before, if you don’t like what someone posts, simply don’t read them. You know what’s amazing, I’ve read many posts on this site and they have never changed my core values or opinion on major current affairs. Why? Because I use my own brain and do DD on important affairs or issues. Personally, I get a kick out of D and C’s posts and don’t think he (assuming he’s male or female identifying as male) will care one way or the other about… Read more »
I feel that exact same way about you! Don’t like it, don’t read it. How many times must I tell you idiots this?
Stick and stones Major D, sticks and stones. I think I hear your mommy calling for you!
I love the sophistication of your retorts, Craig. I think you have Major D on the run now.
Now who’s the un-funny, un-interesting one? You do give me a chuckle though. Keep em coming.
He sure does spend a lot of time reading those posts. Waiting for others to reply so he can sneak in his sly underhanded remarks. You’ll notice it’s usually full of insults and no real rebuttal or posts supporting his opinion. But I guess he thinks it’s hilarious that veterans don’t get the support and help they need, VA claims backed up or lost from 2018 still being processed. Suicide rates from ptsd at all time high with military.com stating a large uptick after the failure in Afghanistan. Yet with his holier than thou attitude, attacks those with mental health… Read more »
It sounds like you are talking about yourself here, Dazed and Coinfused. (“You’ll notice it’s usually full of insults and no real rebuttal or posts supporting his opinion.“). This is exactly what I have spent the past few days diligently pointing out to you in many of your posts that I have been responding to. Please look into a mirror and spend some time reflecting on why you are so angry and why you keep lashing out at others. I am starting to think you really are SENZA. He also conflated pushing back on him as “picking on veterans”. This… Read more »
Thanks for saving me the effort of having to point out the irony, Major D. Do you think he sees yet that every time he responds he is doing what he is telling us not to? Also, how do you know you don’t like it until after you have read it? You do “not read” any posts from “people” you do not like. Unless you have completely written them off already, you have to read the post to figure out if you don’t like it. Shame Craig will never see this one. I guess he will have to figure it… Read more »
Biden 9 news outlets, insta, meta, x, and whatever the others. Trump, doesn’t even have fox. Of not for his thug shot he wouldn’t have posted to X. Rooting for the underdog. I’m not here to change minds. I have no agendas. I post ideas or contrarian views to open discussion and dialog. The hope is to cool temperatures. Humor is subjective. Can you imagine if trump got a Netflix comedy special and hired Chris Rock to write the jokes. He’d be lynched before the 3rd word. I can’t wait for kamala to rap to snoop Dogg to compete with… Read more »
Well if you are posting contrarian views just to “open discussion and dialog” then you are only doing it to cause trouble. Most people post their views because they believe in them. I think Musk outplayed Trump, getting him to post on Xitter. Not much reason for Truth Social if Trump is on Xitter.
Yes, Humor is subjective. Which is why you need to be careful using it.
“What we’ve got here is… failure to communicate.“–You’re telling me.
D and C, Don’t let these liberals get under your skin, they sure as hell don’t get under mine. I am pleased, very pleased, that they pay so much attention to my posts! Thanks Jeff and Major d, I appreciate that. Just understand that I do my own DD where it applies to matters that are important to me, such as making money in the financial arena and such. Indictments made by black liberals in blue cities/states are matters not pertinent to me. The only people getting rich off all this is attorneys. I find the gubmint in many ways… Read more »
If “these liberals” are not getting under your skin, why are you replying? And “we” saw how well you do your DD when you said you didn’t even read Trumps indictment. Ahh, yes. You are superior because you have a lot of money. Got it. Thanks for clearing that up. So sorry we dared question your Eminence. Are you talking about Georgia? You admit it is blue now, huh? Looks like you can thank Trump for that. Not Trumps attorney’s. They are just getting in trouble. Or stiffed. I do not care if anyone changes their mind. I want you… Read more »
Jeff, you’ve really gone off the rails here. I’ve never stated or believe in any way that I’m superior to anyone. If you have a post of mine where I stated that, please copy/paste it. Do I have money, yes I do. I worked hard all my life, built a thriving business, learnt the financial market and invested, worked hard…did I say that already…and am now comfortable with my finances. Am I bill Gates or Elon Musk rich…give me a break, but I don’t despise them for being rich. Each of them has made me money by building great enterprises,… Read more »
I guess you didn’t read the one I made about 3 comments down shortly after the one above before you fired off this one. If you only do DD sometimes you can comment intelligently about a subject only sometimes. Can you really make a statement like this “As far as reading Trumps indictment, why would I waste time with that? That game is all about a Power Play, has nothing to do with justice.“– It is not important that an ex-president of the US has been indicted multiple times? In your opinion it is not important maybe but just because… Read more »
Hmm, I wonder why you got so sensitive over my post to Dazed and Coinfused that you felt you had to respond. Perhaps you shouldn’t have read mine. Do you think that maybe talking to each other rather than at each other or ignoring each other is better? How can you ever broaden your horizons if you never interact with different opinions? And I would like to know what you have against being respectful of others feelings as a default? Where are the slurs of Trump/Biden running 9/1? Not here. If you are talking about the outside world, why are… Read more »
Jeff, I must say you seem to be a very sensitive individual. I have always been someone that gets right to the point, but in a constrained way. I like brevity. I don’t believe I’ve been disrespectful to anyone here, unless you consider disagreeing on a subject as disrespectful. I do enjoy reading others differing viewpoints, including yours. Personally we’d all be more civil if we didn’t post about politics. But as Mama once said, ‘that’s where the fun is.’ If I could impart something to you, it would be to not take everything so damned serious. As for me,… Read more »
Sensitive, Considerate, Kind, Honest, Ethical, Tolerant, Transparent. They all apply to me. And if you do not think I am direct, I do not think you have been reading my posts. I rarely hold back on speaking my mind, if I have something to say. If I hold back it is to be kind. Brevity, yes sometimes and no sometimes. I prefer maximum data before making a decision and believe simple things with little data can be brief, but as complexity grows so does lengthiness. If I could impart something to you (or everyone), it would be “empathy”. After spending… Read more »
Craig,
Mama also said “If you don’t have anything good to say about someone, come sit by me.” In the South, where I am, we also say “Bless her (or his) heart,” when we don’t particularly care for a person or something they did or said – especially if they are not in the room. Lol.

A lot of good solid common sense comes outa Mama! Lol.
Good post Major D. I saw Craig say in another post that he hasn’t even bothered to read Trump’s indictment. Way to practice what you preach (DD), Craig. This part I made for you to “not” read, Craig. Your DD comment inspired it. It is for Major D. He might appreciate it. Apologies to any innocent spectators that might not enjoy it. I do not usually post things like this. I do not really enjoy making fun of people, even ignorant ones. Educate, Don’t Decimate. Here is a joke I saw the other day in The Week. Apparently a Comedian,… Read more »
Aww. You missed the humor pointing out the gubmints history of bad math. I guess ya missed the oompaloompa and the golden toilet jokes too. Probably missed the many posts where I stated I could care less who wins, we are doomed either way. All are liars. Feel free to mock Republicans. If interesting I’ll jump in and help you. Perhaps you also missed the compliments of the achievements of several democrats. Maybe one of those senior moments you were talking about. You’ll also notice, maybe, since major d didn’t, that none of the source material or citations are from… Read more »
I replied to this one about 1-1/2 hours ago, but it is awaiting approval.
Well, it has been nearly three days now since I posted it, I do not have anything from CoinNews saying approved or denied, so I guess I will post it again. They need to either decide quicker or send an email when they deny a comment as well as approve one. Has anyone ever gotten a denial email? I never have so far. Dazed and Coinfused, Since I had days to look at it, I added some and changed some parts a bit. I thought I should respond to a few more of your comments yesterday. If the other one… Read more »
little d,
Are you trolling for sex on this site? I think they have sites on the internet that would be more appropriate for you. But check with your mommy first, if she catches you are spending her money, oh my!
5th grade humor, Craig. Like you got it off of the playground. Are you a 5th grader?
I don’t think I can blame you Major D. Looks like the child(ren?) still want(s) to play. Craig to me (not you) 6 hours ago as I type this—“but it’s blatantly apparent to me that he’s never been anywhere near our southern border. If he had, he’d know what rubbish his post is. Jeff, you need to travel a bit with your eyes opened.“.– If he feels I am wrong, where are his counterpoints using factual information? Reason and Persuasion, not Emotion and Insults. He (and Dazed and Coinfused as of yesterday, at least) likes to masquerade opinion as facts.… Read more »
You talked about joining halves and making cool ornament coin, well why not something like this.

I like that!!! Quite the artwork.
Yeah, but it probably has ‘Made in China’ stamped on it! I generate enough garbage without importing more.
England not much better. They were supposed to be the apex of naval ships. Then lost 3 full fleets in the Atlantic due to hurricanes. But I think it is like myths of the Egyptians, because their unsinkable ship also sank on maiden voyage, the sister ship didn’t fair much better and of course the submarine of recent months, but I think he was an American entrepreneur, but did have ties to the titanic. Rumor is America has the mightiest military. But the record paints a different story. Might find out soon enough. Probably the hard way. Just kidding. No… Read more »
This one is ok too.
I think the next world war will be the last one, so we better not have one. Nobody had Nukes at the start of the last one, and we were the only ones to have them at the end. Not like now.
How about making posts like this your normal, Dazed and Coinfused. Not one political mention or insult in it. I did not click the link, so I hope it is not an offensive link. I do not think ebay would allow something too bad so I took a gamble.
D & C,
Notice that the seller of that hideous coin on ebay is in Shanghai, China…
That coin is dated 2022, the year Her Majesty QEII died – she died on September 8, 2022 due to “old age” according to her death certificate. Now we know her death was actually caused by her sudden fright when she was shown in person this colorized travesty of a coin with her image on it! Lol.
NumisdudeTX
Seth,
Good eye! I wonder what percentage of coins sold on feebay originate out of China. I’d bet it is a large percentage. That’s the prime reason I buy my coins from the mint, at least I know they are legitimate. Does anyone here collect colorised coins? I’ve never purchased one, although if I were to watch another presentation by Magic Mike, I might’ve bought his colorised state quarters! Lol
Hi Craig, I am not a fan of colorized coins, but I did buy a set of the Great Lakes coins the Canadian Mint put out in 2014-2015. What was different about them from other colorized coins I have seen was that these had the actual depths of the lakes colorized to scale and the lakes depths were cut into the coins so the color is equal and below the surface of the coins. I Figured the color would not wear off because it is level with the coin surface and not above it as usual. They also supplied a… Read more »
In other news: the U.S. Mint made a major error on the COAs for the 2023-P American Liberty Silver medals. The medal COA uses the word “coins” 5 times, wrongly of course! They need a full-time proofreader at the Mint…
NumisdudeTX
Aren’t you going off topic, Seth? Who talks about Numismatics here?
Jeff,
Lol. I’m a rebel!
NumisdudeTX
maybe they were trying to coin a phrase. maybe since the gold one is a coin then it feels entitled to be called the same thing. it would be in the name of equality, as if it were in equity then the silver coin {sic medal} would have the same value as the gold coin.
This is a good normal post.
I think I was just tired. When I scanned it I didn’t see any “Blacks” or “dude chicks” so it was all right. You are completely right about the theme to his posts (this one says I am against “equality for all”, so I know who he is hinting is silver and who is gold here. “See, it’s not racism. Gold is just worth more than Silver”.). I think he is trying to change though (time will tell), I truly think he just does not comprehend yet how damaging his comments are and nobody changes overnight. Empathy for others, especially… Read more »
probably hired the person that does the tiles for news4jax locally. constantly having bad spelling and grammar and i think the newscasters are on medical as they struggle to finish many of the stories. but even worse, the story about the elementary school that had singled out the black students showed a slide meant for educational purposes (not a couple days later when the church groups showed up to hold up signs calling them beautiful and smart). and the first line had major error. of course they think they were singled out and unfairly treated, waiting for ben crump to… Read more »
Dazed and Coinfused, This is one of your normal posts, and shorter but why couldn’t you have been satisfied with the first post to Seth? You are talking about two recent news stories here (and not necessarily accurately), but why? What is the connection in your mind? I am pretty sure everyone that wants to learn about these stories won’t come here to do so. I will remind everyone that when I say I do not mind anyone talking about any subject here, I meant big subjects. The examples I used every time previously were Pearl Harbor and 9/11. Can… Read more »
No, “his” normal. not “normal”.
Yes. And opinion masking as fact.
Seth,
Is that why the mint shows that medal as “unavailable” for the last couple of days? Guess I got my wish that it was a coin not a medal.
Seth,
Thanks for the above news. Will have to see if I got the “coin” or the medal. Wonder if someone sells as a “coin” if that would be fraud? Guess “Mike” will tell us.
chuck,
Some of the tv ripoff coin shows actually call medals “coins” because many of the people who buy from them don’t know the difference. It’s sad really.

I wonder why they didn’t raid the San Francisco mint. Oh I know. All the offerings are sold out and only available on hsn. Poor Nordstrom. All that wealth postponed by the reappropriation of wealth. Maybe it is just a new buy now or pay later option. Stand strong X. Not much they can take. Might pawn some servers, China sure could use the chips and video cards. Hide your gold folks. Coming soon at a town near you. I think LA Times is one if those far left news companies. Geographically speaking. LA Times Nordstrom closes San Francisco store… Read more »
D and C, Just talked to a contractor, for some improvement to my house, and he just moved out of California 2 years ago. I asked him if conditions as seen on the tv channels was accurate, and he said it’s worse than what we see. He had 4 buildings in Southern California, which he sold, and said the state is turning into an African country. His words. He also said the pollution being caused by all these new ‘citizens’ is appalling, yet does anyone ever hear a peep from our Interior Department about that? One of my favourite zoo’s… Read more »
So, he fled huh? That’s the American spirit, Craig. I think you need some “meat” more than Major D does. There is no nutritional value in your political posts. You are still just complaining but now it is “secondhand” complaining. The only “fact” I see here is that a guy sold 4 buildings. The rest is just another “opinion”.
“I wonder why they didn’t raid the San Francisco mint. Oh I know. All the offerings are sold out and only available on hsn. Poor Nordstrom. All that wealth postponed by the reappropriation of wealth.

Thanks for the information, Kaiser Wilhelm. Thanks for adding the context. The reporter mentions “The Covid pandemic and rising crime in the area” in the article Dazed and Coinfused pasted above but she does not say how much each contributed. She might be implying by the order that Covid was the main factor, otherwise she should have said “The rising crime in the area and the Covid pandemic”. Reporters don’t seem to be as diligent as they used to be though, so I cannot be positive. Sounds like it from your comment. I thought they were always supposed to answer… Read more »
Anyone can be a politician, without credentials. I will take my news from a qualified, accredited, full-time journalist with a degree(s) in Journalism/English/Communications any day. I worked in that world of journalism right out of 6 years of college and it is a cornerstone of a healthy democracy. Do journalists make errors like all humans do? Yes, and they correct them ASAP if they are good at their job & don’t want to be sued (or shunned by their colleagues). You cannot tell the personal political leanings of any good journalist, as unbiased reporting is the gold standard.
NumisdudeTX
Major D,
That is unfortunately one way hate & division & lies & misinformation spreads.
NumisdudeTX
Good post, Seth.
Could you mention one or two of them? If Dazed and Coinfused (I assume you mean him) is doing that, then I am angry. I thought this was his only outlet to “vent”. This is the only place I comment with regularity. I might have made a couple of gaming comments on a gaming site I have an account with but I prefer speaking politics through the ballot box or face to face individually. If he is pumping these out elsewhere there is no reason at all for us to see them here. He can instead occasionally tell all his… Read more »
