Hi guys! I have a super duper CRAZZYYY exciting giveaway to present to you today :) Which would make an excellent gift for either yourself, or a fellow loved one/coin collector this holiday season. Are you ready for it??? You haven’t looked at the title yet, have you? ;)
WE’RE GIVING AWAY A SOLID GOLD COIN!!!! Huzzah!!
[This 1/10 oz APMEX Gold Round .9999 Fine coin, to be exact]
Worth approximately $120-$140 – depending on the value of gold on any given day… (and not to be confused with a Bitcoin). You don’t have to be a coin lover to appreciate it either as gold is GOLD, baby! You can literally cash it in at any coin store or even most jewelry centers if you don’t like holding onto valuable stuff ;)

In fact, this giveaway came OUT of me recommending them on Twitter to someone the other week, so hooray for karma :)
Here are some of the goodies Apmex sells, for all you coin/bullion lovers out there:
- Silver coins, rounds, bars
- Gold coins, rounds, bars
- Platinum stuff (worth more than gold!)

A bison!
2013 1 oz Silver Canadian Wildlife Series – Wood Bison
What a neat site! I’ve bookmarked it now. I like the 2013 1/2 gram Merry Christmas Gold Bar and know it is a gift everyone would like!
I almost felt the need to clarify it’s a real gold coin and not a Bitcoin… But the value confirms it’s a physical gold coin!
HAH! You just made me go back and edit the post a little to clarify it’s solid gold and NOT a Bitcoin :) I wouldn’t have ever thought that but I bet others could, so thanks!
I am a big fan of Apmex. I have use them before to get some ASEs. So I really like those there. They also have a pretty solid selection of classic (pre-1920) gold coins and a solid collection of Morgan Silver Dollars too, including the sweet Carson City ones.
I’d have to go with the 2013 1 oz Gold American Eagle. Pretty bad ass.
I bought a 1/4oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf off APMEX when gold was at it’s highest about 2 years ago (oops). I was nervous about it just being left at my front door while I was at work but it all worked out fine.
But lets be serious, what I really wanted was a Royal Canadian 1 kg gold bar. I’m not ashamed to admit that I would sleep with it.
I love the Canadian Silver Wildlife series. But, y’all KNOW I’m Pagan.
Ooh, I like this – even if it isn’t a bitcoin ;) Though gold and bitcoins (at this exact moment in time are worth roughly similar – sooooooo, you could give me 1/10th of bitcoin too :)
I kinda like the gold kangaroo pendant (mostly because I’ve never seen kangaroos make an appearance on gold jewellery before!
As a South African American I will have to go with the 1 oz South African Gold Krugerrand!
I would take 10 oz Credit Suisse Gold Bar .9999 Fine (With Assay) :)
This looks pretty cool:

Love the 2013 1 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo coin :)
Liked @APMEX on twitter. Thanks!

Oh, and I liked them on FB
I like the 1928 $1000 bill at http://www.apmex.com/product/80340/1928-d-cleveland-1-000-frn-pcgs-about-new-50
I had no idea you could even get them — even at 3.5x the face vaule.
I’d love to have a $500 or $1,000 bill… that’d just be awesome bragging rights!

I like the 1934 (G-Chicago) $1,000 FRN, the old $1,000 bills are cool since we don’t see them anymore.
I like the 2013 1 oz Gold Buffalo – Brilliant Uncirculated. Good way to get gold exposure and have a cool coin!

Would be pretty cool to have a $500 Federal Reserve Note!

I love the Gold Buffalo coin! My grampa and I used to collect buffalo nickels when I was a kid and this reminds me of him. Although our nickels weren’t worth near as much (but the memories are still priceless!)
Pretty cool giveaway! I love collecting coins, although I don’t own any that are worth very much or anything. I just think it’s fun to collect them.
I like the 1oz Credit Suisse Gold Bars they have on their site. That would be so bad ass to just have a bar of gold haha.
I’m liking the pre-1933 Liberty Gold Double Eagle – Extra Fine. Liked on FB and followed on Twitter. Nice giveaway J!

The 2013 1 oz Gold Buffalo is very cool!
I was leaning toward the pre-1933 section, because who doesn’t like history, but then I found this link:
http://www.apmex.com/product/79473/cook-islands-2013-proof-silver-5-chelyabinsk-meteorite
Seriously, who doesn’t want a piece of a meteorite?! That’s just bad-ass.
My favorite is the IRA approved Platinum Platypus..gotta keep that platinum platypus appreciation out of a taxable account yah know!
American Eagle. Followed on twitter.
I really liked the Silver Eagle coin. Something about the curves in the metal are just really artistic and then you flip it and BAM it’s Eagle Time! :) I don’t know if I’m supposed to share the link to the product. http://www.apmex.com/product/72459/2013-1-oz-silver-eagles (just in case lol)
2013 1 oz Silver Eagles looked very nice.
I followed APMEX on Twitter. My twitter name is @jennydecki :)
I thought the 1 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo/Nugget looked fun. But gold anything is fine too. Ha.
I vote for the palladium because I have zero knowledge of it– so here is something to learn. It has to be valuable to some persons somewhere. Industrial uses, currency, jewelry and/or design? I have so much to find out and the pursuit will just be my cup of tea – enhanced by the chance to win A GENUINE GOLD COIN! I am happy and I know it so I am clapping my hands.
Gold American Eagle for me. One ounce of course.
What can I say, I like “new”. If I could get anything off their website, it would be:
2014 1 oz Gold American Eagle – (Brand New!)(Jan 10th)
It’s clean and valuable! I’d hang it on my wall and buy a new one each year to start building a collection.

Ok… so 1st: THANKS for showing me this site.
I did a search for “FROG” (I collect all things ‘frog’… even a few tattoos) and OMG!!!.. I didn’t think I’d find something, but the Palua 2013 Silver Proof $2 World of Frogs, Australian Green Frog coin came up and it’s a MUST HAVE.

I like the $10 Gold Eagle MS-64 PCGS coin. It is beautiful!

1 oz American Silver Eagle – would like more to add to my collection.
I would love the 1oz gold Canadian Maple Leaf.
Eastern Roman Gold Solidus of Theodosius II
I’m a HUGE fan of the 1 oz. Canadian Maple Leaf. Gold without the premium and cool like Canadians.

I have always been a fan of the Krugerrand, and the American Silver Eagle. If I had my choice I would own a bunch of…..BOTH!
I’m in! 1 oz APMEX 2014 Eagle Eye Silver Round .999 Fine.
I used to buy American Eagle Silver dollars. Back when they were $6 each or so. Great stocking stuffers. That 1 oz APMEX Eagle is almost $21! Glad I sold all my silver at $30/oz and gold at $1500/oz. Although that stuff is awesome to hold in your hand. Especially the 1 oz coins. Very substantial.
1 oz Gold South African Krugerrand – that’s it for me. If it’s free and it’s gold, I’m in.
