In this edition of Hard Money Matters, host Kyle Warren welcomes back renowned numismatist John Maben to discuss the impact of the ongoing war in Iran on global markets. Gold and silver have entered new, lower trading ranges—roughly $4,300–$4,600 for gold and $65–$74 for silver—after recent volatility, even as many assets feel the pressure from geopolitical tensions and higher oil prices. Maben emphasizes that short-term fluctuations should not derail long-term investors, who benefit from viewing precious metals as a hold for years rather than days. The pair explores why gold remains a solid diversifier (with some analysts still eyeing $6,000/oz by year-end), the advantages of government-issued bullion coins like American Gold Eagles, Krugerrands, and Maple Leafs, and why buyers should stick to widely recognized products from trusted local dealers instead of hyped, graded “investment” offerings.
