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.

Dealer Secrets: Why You Won't Get Spot Price on Gold Jewelry

In this episode of Hard Money Matters, host Kyle Warren and precious metals expert John Mabin (owner of Pegasus Coin and Jewelry) dive into the chaotic silver market amid its rapid price surge. They explain "backwardation" — where futures prices dip below spot due to refinery backlogs, financing strains, and overwhelming sell-off volume — forcing dealers to buy at discounted futures-based rates while selling at higher immediate-delivery spot. Drawing parallels to the 1980 silver spike, they warn that prices rising "too fast" disrupt liquidity, unlike the smoother gold and platinum markets. The duo explores dealer cash-flow limits, why some shops pause buying, and investor psychology: many cash in profits despite discounts, while others keep buying for security. Shifting to broader economics, they adjust historical gold prices (e.g., 1985's $317/oz) for inflation, discuss dollar devaluation amid grocery shocks and trillions in debt, geopolitical risks (China/Russia tariffs), and skepticism toward BRICS reserve currency shifts or crypto overhauls. Ending on tangible assets as a hedge for uncertain times, the episode blends market mechanics with real-world financial anxieties.

From Grocery Shock to Geopolitics: Why Hard Money Still Matters

On this episode of Hard Money Matters, host Kyle Warren and precious metals expert John Mabin (owner of Pegasus Coin and Jewelry in Bradenton) unpack the shifting dynamics of pre-1934 U.S. gold coins, explaining why soaring bullion prices have crushed premiums on common dates—turning them into near-bullion buys with semi-numismatic appeal. They debunk myths about age equaling value, explore niche collectibles like old checks and stock certificates, and compare today’s global gold boom (fueled by central banks and geopolitical uncertainty) to the inflation-driven 1980 surge and the 2011 flight-to-safety rally. The duo also decodes obscure mint marks like “BM,” reveals why dealers break up curated collections, and offers practical advice for beginners: start with what you love, not what analytics dictate. A blend of market insight, history, and collector wisdom—plus a plug for free appraisals at Pegasus.
