On this episode of Hard Money Matters, host Kyle Warren and John Mabin of Pegasus Coin and Jewelry dive into the latest precious metals trends. They analyze gold's recent pullback from $4,000 as a healthy buying opportunity via dollar-cost averaging, explain why dealers pay below spot price on jewelry and bullion (due to overhead, holding periods, and market risks), and note improving silver spreads amid reduced backlog. The duo explores how rising metal values erode numismatic premiums on collectible coins, predicts AI's future role in grading and pricing coins (despite tactile challenges), and offers cautionary tips for buying coins abroad, including export rules and shipping options. Sponsored disclaimers emphasize risks and lack of federal regulation.
