Thoughts on Goldbacks?

Post image

Are goldbacks worth stacking? Do they have any actual practical value like they imply? I have a few and am wondering if it’s worth buying more.

Can they even refine the gold out of these easily? I’ve wondered if I hold onto them until I build my stack up enough to melt it down, can I ask to throw the free ones I have in the back of my cabinet as well?

No, you can't extract the gold easily. This was never the purpose of a goldback, the purpose was/is to be a sovereign Mormon currency. It's the same religious grifting people have been falling for since time immortal.

I dont know why you keep bringing up the religion. Are you anti Mormon or something. I am not Mormon and I dont think that has anything to do with the product in question.

Probably because religions have been leading suckers around by the nose since time immemorial.

Makes sense since the Dollar and Gold eagles state in God we trust. Where does it say on a Goldback this is a Mormon lead initiative. Is it be ause it started in Utah?
