GOLDBACKS - Should YOU Be Buying The Goldback?

[@tucsonbubba1574]

I bought 1,5,10's a few weeks back. They were so far beyond any image I have seen, that I immediately ordered the 25, 50's. They are worth it just for the art. Stunning.

I actually used goldbacks to help as a teaching aid in a class i teach up here in economics...its amazing how Well people pay attention amd understand better once they actually can see and hold one...I even handed one to each in the class to keep and help get them started...im still debating wether to continue using the godlbacks or something else...but so far these help...more than half my students actually started buying these...so people do like these...personally I've given most mine away or traded them ...just not my thing...but I can see why many stackers like them...and when I took a class vote 63% preferred these over actual coins or bullion...and I was surpruaed by that.

Some info I got today from Goldbacks: Yes, the gold is recoverable as the Goldbacks can be melted down (the plastic burns off leaving just the gold behind). Early on one of the Goldback employees accidentally washed and dried a 5 with their laundry and it came out wrinkled but no gold was lost, and there was no heat damage. Folding the Goldbacks will leave a crease in them, but does not damage them materially. As such we do not recommend that individuals fold them and we created a custom wallet so that individuals could carry them without folding them, but the value does not decrease simply because they may get creased.

[@SilverDragons47]

yeah they crease for sure but so do fiat bills. they will never get graded 70 after a fold either 🔥🐉

I remember your reaction to the goldback on the coast to coast show and was a little surprised. I'm glad you investigated them and determined their true purpose. They aren't for stacking due to the premium, but their utility as a currency is amazing. Technically, you can even pay in fractional goldbacks since you can easily just cut them in half or quarters. Also, I like that they are different sizes, which is a common problem for blind people using regular US cash. A lot of thought went into these designs to make sure anyone could use them.

Anyone who is just looking at the high premiums and saying no I would say this. If you are watching this video you are likely a stacker and likely you appreciate beauty in metals.

Good video! I started buying goldbacks about 6 months ago. Before that, I had several troy ounces (and partial ounces) of gold and silver. But I don't want to be carrying around bullion -- it's bulky and heavy. So I traded in all my gold and silver bullion for goldbacks. For my purposes, goldbacks are the perfect solution. They're compact, have nice artwork and are REAL gold! I highly recommend goldbacks for anybody. Yes, some people just prefer bullion and I understand that. But goldbacks are definitely worth investigating.

When I first bought the goldbacks I wanted to hold it like gold & silver and buy it for the design series.

Metal notes is a pretty cool idea. I'd never pay that premium or accept them as payment for more then a 30% premium over spot. So it seems to me they need to really improve their manufacturing efficiency and their margin on these if they want them to be used rather then just collected. Constitutional silver is a better option for fractional amounts of previous metals for bartering.

Any precious metal barter currency is a good idea. At least to have a little on hand; stacking or not. Should your fiat currency suddenly collapse, you want some portable money that won't lose its value (especially if you need to cross a border).

[@chrissahar2014]

My first impulse is to consider buying some --- and I find the premium is fair albeit much higher than if you bought fractional gold. People complain of the 70%+ premium but then you go ahead and calculate the cost to create the product with the artwork. You will find that premium is quite reasonable. Or let us take a simpler experiment. Buy American Innovation golden dollar coins - the 100 coin bag to save the most on the premium - from the US Mint. The cost per coin is about $1.17 for a dollar coin. Not bad as these will be in uncirculated condition. Now let us say you want to make some money back on your purchase. Well, figure a nice 1.5 hours to go through them all to find the top 2 or 3 for your collection. Then you go through the rest and take out those of the worst quality say 7 - 8. You now have 90 coins. You decide for economy sake to sell them in 2x2 flips. So you search for flips for small dollar coins. Purchase them - probably get 100 for $3. Then estimate shipping - say .85 cents per coin. Well the initial cost of the coin has risen from $1.17 to $1.17+.85 cents shipping+ .03 for a flip= $2.05 per coin. And you have not even factored the FULL amount of time you have put in - say about 3 - 4 hours to go through the coins, order the flips, take photos and organize what you will keep, spend and sell. So let's set your hourly wage at $25/hour and total prep about 3.5/hours. So figure about $90 you should be paid for this ( and this is before you choose a sales platform and finalize a sale from an interested buyer). We have our coin at $2.05, we have 90 coins to sell and you are paying yourself $90 for the prep work you have done. So let's add $1 per coin for labor for a subtotal of coin+production costs+your time= $3.05. Of course the coin's bullion value is 5 cents but this is just selling a non-precious metal coin that targets collectors of not for circulation coins at potentially modest or low mintages. If you sell on ebay add 10% for potential fess - therefore your coin and costs to sell it = $3.35. You aim to make $1 profit so you have to sell the AI dollar at $4.35 (higher if you choose to encapsulate i)t. This is approximately in line with what ebay sellers offer for the 2018 P AI Dollar - www.ebay.com/itm/2018-P-D-American-Innovation-Dollar-Golden-Signed-Frist-Patent/223768374302?hash=item3419a26c1e:g:wHUAAOSwqctcYb37 So, consider the production costs for the Goldbacks and the technology they use to create it, one which the US Mint is not even using. Think too how much they appreciate the rise in gold --- that is where their profit is primarily coming from because to produce such a note with the technology that allows the gold dust to STAY and employing the latest polymer technology is probably one with high production costs. Plus although these are gaining traction - 200K was mentioned in the video, it is still not at the point that the production costs are so greatly reduced to drop the premium below 70%. But if that were so, the mintage would be quite a bit higher and its potential numismatic value diminished. So, I would not even consider the premium as this is a specialized product which requires advanced production methods. I think the best way to look at this is as one commentator alluded - think of its potential numismatic value down the road. I would consider this something like a 21st century Trade dollar or an update on the attempts in the 80's to do a cruder version of a goldback. The things going for it are 1) the quality of the note is very strong and attractive 2) compared to the production rate of US currency it is low 3) it possesses cutting edge technology that uses what has been going on abroad but with an additional twist of adding gold that does not risk shedding off from handling. 4) Other states are interested in using this so there is more room for variety and even potential errors cropping up over time if the goldbacks have legs. The things going against it are 1) the artwork although beautiful is not original but a reproduction or at least based on 19th century designs making it a little old-fashioned to some 2) gold prices left to free market forces is more volatile than a government set price as was tried for over a hundred years with mixed results but at least avoids the problem of the goldbacks - how do you barter something which someone may not feel is trustworthy as its value may have them at times to hoard the bills when gold skyrockets or reject it for barter when the price drops. Furthermore, history has shown that gold mining operations have shut down when gold has gotten too low --- what will happen with the production of goldbacks? 3) the fact Colorado and Nevada are doing this is a mixed blessing - it shows its popularity BUT it also shows that the potential of getting currency of some rarity may be passing 4) and finally there is some risk of the gold delaminating when exposed to high humidity - especially the $50, that is why sites offer special leather wallets to hold them. Also if a bill gets worn out there is presently no chance of getting it replaced ... this can be a problem in its use for barter and for holding onto it for bullion - I got this info from goldback.com FAQ - goldback.com/the-faqs. Numismatically and the beauty of the product, I would buy them. But considering the job landscape and the price of volatility of gold this is neither a good product for one stacking or prepping --- there are better products out there. For now I am on the fence about this product - as something to collect I am more for it.

that is awesome! lastly you will have to get a 50 to finish off the series! 🔥🐉

@@SilverDragons47 we plan on buying a few $50 notes 😊

I think I get the overall purpose of these, but I surely don't think if you try these at a retailer, they're going to accept them as currency. I think this is more as you suggest, using them off-market like bartering. My wife is interested in these. Maybe this particular set is only acceptable in Utah as currency at retailers?

[@KillaTrains]

Brilliant idea

[@50srefugee]

Good discussion on buying these as currency rather than as stacking coins. I just bought a tenner ("Justice"), my first gold purchase ever. I like these because they're within my budget--I can buy one with each paycheck, and not put a hole in my budget. They're easier to store and hide than coins would be. I admit, though, having lost my precious metals cherry, I'm going to be looking at silver coins as well. Technical nit: These are not gold plated, which is an electrolytic process.They are made by vacuum deposition, in which the gold is vaporized at high heat, then condenses on the polyester substrate, like moisture from your breath forming frost on a window pane. Hot argon atoms press the gold atoms into the substrate to more permanently bond them. [I am not personally familiar with this process; information gleaned here'n'there.]

i'll be buying the nevada ones, these are such a cool gold item. i love 'em!

[@RealChaseB]

especially love the "veritas & justitia" on the bills

[@SilverDragons47]

yeah those are epic for sure! 🔥🐉

[@pepperVenge]

I'm thinking of getting just a few of the 1 dollar one's just to say I have them. They look really cool.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

I get some similar bits of gold when I need to top up an order for free shipping. Over the years now I have A LOT of them. Not sure how many but there are a lot.

[@SilverDragons47]

yeah those small add ons are very fun for sure! it does add up!!! 👍🏽🔥🐉

[@justacinnamonbun8658]

Thanks for sharing, I've never heard of these before. I like the concept, no doubt, my very first concern was the durability, they didn't look too durable, but they're obviously coated with something. To be honest, these open up more questions for me than anything, I mean, if no one accepts these as currency because most people don't know what it is, it may just be a waste of money (and gold) and relegated to just being a novelty item you can frame on the wall. But the idea is pretty clever, just bake in the precious metal into the actual currency 😆 that pretty sick. I'm sure whoever created these is on the Federal Reserve's watch list.

[@justacinnamonbun8658]

@Sound Money Arizona TY! I'll check it out.

[@justacinnamonbun8658]

@Sound Money Arizona I rewatched the video, I just noticed it says "gold coin" at the bottom 😆😆😆 I guess article 1, section 10 never does specify that the coinage has to be neither round, nor that it can't be flat, it never specifies the thickness, I see what they did there. 😉 So "technically" it's legal, would be great if these were made for a consortium of states that are like close together, like for example "west coast" goldbacks could be used in member states like WA, OR, CA, NV, etc., the "New England" goldbacks could be accepted in NH, VT, ME, MA, RI, NY, etc. There's no way a business here in Jersey will accept those. At least not to my knowledge, but definitely a conversation stater for sure. I might order one of each denomination, I'll read more about them later. I'll tell you one thing, I'd trust these more than any crypto currency any day 😆.

[@SilverDragons47]

i’m glad I could share them with you! they are extremely durable and I like that they contain gold 😁 they are accepted anywhere that will take them for barter. 🔥🐉

[@wheelzwheela]

Interesting idea

[@bigtank1982]

I got the free one and that will be the only one I get. The premiums are ridiculous! The only use would be if you are in a place that actually take these as trade. Totally not for stacking.

[@SilverDragons47]

correct not for stacking but still a cool better money! 🔥🐉

[@Aus31.1]

Love Gold backs. Hard to find In Australia

[@someoneyoudontknow7407]

I wouldn’t mind picking some up. I like to frame cool currency’s and demonetized bills. They look nice hanging on the wall: I want to pick some up for sure. Nice collection.

[@SilverDragons47]

yes they are great for collecting for sure! 👍🏽🔥🐉

[@ShaneSchofield52]

Those are some gorgeous notes.

[@SilverDragons47]

yes they are for sure! 🔥🐉

[@ShaneSchofield52]

Only took me two years to finally buy some and p&p them to the UK.

[@mdavid2100]

Interesting, thank you for the explanation.

[@SilverDragons47]

you are welcome and thanks for watching! 🔥🐉

[@joelvaldez476]

Yes a 1 ozt Au is hard to barter with. But that is why their is Ag also. At 70% premium for those, I think Ag is a better option.

[@SilverDragons47]

yeah you could always have both 🤷🏽‍♂️ I love my junk silver haha 🔥🐉
