Can You Say “Uno”?
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve written a weblog… but I was waiting for some really special, wonderful reason for me to… As of today, March 8, 2008, I have been with Southgate Coins for a full year! (And you guys thought I’d never make it!)

Read MoreHoping For Spring
Hello to our favorite weblog readers! Hope you all had a nice President’s Day weekend (and enjoyed the extra day off if you got it). We here at Southgate Coins have been busy trying to keep up with our jammed-packed schedules. If you have been tracking the daily gold and silver prices this week, you have a better understanding of where we are coming from. Let me tell you, people have been coming out-of-the-woodwork looking to sell off their American Gold Eagles and one hundred ounce silver bars (or doorstops as I call them) by the truck-full. And it doesn’t even stop there! People are bringing in anything that has traces of gold in it, in hopes of cashing in for some “big bucks.” I mean, over the past few weeks we have seen pure gold flakes that people have panned out of the Sacramento River, chain necklaces and bracelets, gold teeth from grandpa, and even parts of radio transmitters. And if you are anything like me, you are still stuck on the gold teeth part!

Amy Turns Two—or Something Like That
With Rusty and Marie celebrating their “silver” wedding anniversary two weeks ago, I suppose it is appropriate to say that I celebrated my “cotton” (or second) anniversary with the company on January 25th.
Read MoreNevada State Museum Docent Training Lecture
On Wednesday, January 23, Rusty and I made our way down snowy Highway 395 to the Nevada State Museum in Carson City, Nevada to present a PowerPoint lecture entitled “Meaningful Memories of the Carson City Mint,” to a room of thirty future docents (otherwise known as museum tour guides to you and me) during the annual NSM winter training seminar.
Read Moreon Twenty-Five Years of Wedded Bliss
If silver wasn't so high in price these days, Maya and I would spurge and get you twenty-five ounces of silver seeing that this is your "silver" wedding anniversary! But hey, it's the thought that counts right?
We love you both!

Wave of the Times
The first of the year seems to always be one of the busiest times for us here at Southgate Coins. I don’t know if it is due to the fact that we have lots of people selling off their collections to pay down their holiday debts, or if it is due to lots of post-holiday shoppers who are ready to spend their money that they got from grandma; but boy, have we been busy with both shoppers and sellers these first few weeks in January.
Read MoreThe Sky Is Falling
The Biggest Little City in the world has been overtaken by the snow clouds from above. Over the past few days, Northern Nevada has been experiencing storm warnings throughout the region (even blizzard warnings at Lake Tahoe) and it does not look like the storm is ready to leave us just yet. Thankfully for us, our store is equipped with individual space heaters at each work desk to keep our fingers typing on the keyboards and our bodies from turning blue. What a beautiful winter wonderland we have before us (that is, if you are not driving in it!). Also, special thanks to customers sending us pictures of where they live, which boast sunny skies and crowded beaches, in hopes of keeping our thoughts nice and warm.
Until Next Time,
Amy
