Year of the Ox, 1/10 Gold, Discounted ... Everywhere ?!

[gunDriller]

APMex had a sale on these. Gainesville still has them on sale (lowest priced 1/10 ounce.)

Just curious - why ?

They look nice, although some dealers don't like .9999 gold because they get dinged too easily - so that affects resale - a little.

$149 - wire transfer
$153 - check/ credit card

they had 4 max per transaction - now it's 2 per transaction.

The ox is not a popular animal, and it still has the queen on the front, plus most people are not into Chinese mythology. I imagine it qualifies as the least popular 1/10th ozt. gold coin out there. It's not like it is going for less than spot!

The Ox is my birth animal. Maybe I can find one locally or on ebay (using ebay bucks) for a decent premium.

Outlaw if I could find one for the year of the wabbit that is my year I would buy one.

To hell with all the Ox haters I say. It sure beats being a monkey.
