Michael Fuljenz admits, "I love coins. From the very first Indian quarter-eagle gold piece I bought for my personal collection, to the latest batch of twenty-dollar gold pieces that I gathered together for a group of collectors, I've been hooked." Michael adds, "I worked hard, saved up to buy favorite coins and embarked on what I know now is a lifelong love affair. Coin collecting fires my imagination, and I want to pass my love of coins on to others."

The Ultimate
That’s the goal we mortals strive to attain in myriad fields of endeavor. To climb the highest mountain … run the fastest race … pitch a perfect game … draw a royal flush – these are the kinds of accomplishments few of us ever achieve but most of us aspire to, every now and then, if only in dreams and fantasies.
In the world of collectible coins, there are dozens of superstars – gold pieces, silver dollars and even nickels and cents – that command small fortunes (and sometimes very large ones) because of their great rarity, exceptional condition, unusual historical importance and often combinations of these attributes. But many numismatists agree that one stands alone as the brightest star of all – the single most desirable prize in the realm of coins. In short, the ultimate.

The Michael Fuljenz Metals Market Report
May 2013, Week 2 Edition
Investors have been bailing out of paper gold (ETFs) while at the same time consumers are scooping up gold coins, bars, and jewelry at a torrid pace. Just when demand for physical gold has soared comes news that there will be less of it to go around.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported in its Mineral Industry Survey that U.S. gold production fell 8% year-on-year in February. That's after production fell 10% in January.
This year's production slump continues the declining trend of last year. USGS said U.S. gold production was down 225,055 ounces in 2012 from the previous year's output.
Not only are the mines not producing as much gold, but there's not too much going on to find more gold to replace what is being taken out of the ground now. Mining consultant and research firm IntierraRMG's latest State of the Market report reveals that exploration worldwide for new gold ounces fell to a record low in March, continuing a 17-month decline in the search for the yellow metal.

Gold imports to China are expected to swell even more after a strong surge for the second straight month in March. "Physical demand picked up significantly over the last couple of weeks. Consumers and industrial users tend to see price drops as buying opportunities," said Zhang Bingnan, secretary-general of the China Gold Association. "Investment demand should continue to stay strong through the rest of the year because of limited investment alternatives," said Zhang. He said gold sales and processing volumes both spiked in April.
Chinese buyers have been swarming gold shops, taking advantage of low prices and worried about the suddenly shaky Chinese economy. In the first quarter, purchases of gold bars zoomed by 49%. Jewelry surged by 16%. Overall gold consumption in China soared 26% in the first quarter.
