We have all read that the Perth Mind ceased selling gold. What seems under reported is that the Perth Mint ceased selling physical, but still sells gold in unallocated accounts
I have seen it debated for a couple of years weather there is any physical behind PM's unallocated accounts. I don't know. But As of now I would not buy anything from PM
Of course I have a Dragon, Horse, Snake, Dog, from their lunar serries. Beautiful gold coins that cost the same as gold eagles but now carry a significant premium for the dragon and horse. These are a joy to hold and show to friends when I get them out of the deposit box.
The landscape is changing. We bugs are under pressure now, but our day will come, and it will be a sad day for those who don't hold a handful of physical.
Hopefully we can still realize some benefit from holding shares of the miners.
