Tequila Goldsicle
All right, It’s Friday and it’s getting hot out. Time for a Tequila Goldsicle. This precious metal pop with a punch is filled with 24 carat gold flakes and sells for a cool grand at the Marquis Los Cabos in Baja California, Mexico. As you would expect from a frozen treat of this stature, it can be delivered to you poolside. It is made with Clase Azul Ultra tequila, which is self-proclaimed to be the “finest tequila ever produced.” I have never tried it myself, and costing around $2000 a bottle, it’s not likely I will in the near future.

Update | eBay Find | Vintage Cartier Saint Gaudens Money Clip
SOLD! Looks like the name Cartier does add value. This Money clip sold for $3900. Actual precious metal value, about $1500. It goes to show you that jewelers are most definitely artists. I’m sure the proud new owner will enjoy! Check out other Coinologist All Things Gold archive posts here.
eBay Find | Vintage Cartier Saint Gaudens Money Clip
This Classic Vintage Cartier Money Clip is listed on eBay. A 1927 Saint Gaudens twenty-dollar gold coin is interned in this 18 karat gold money clip. Most coins, even though they are artistic pieces in their own right, once put into jewelry lose their numismatic value. I guess this depends on the jeweler. Cartier made this piece in the fifties, and this money clip is listed well over its precious metal value. The owner claims the retail value to be $6,300, but you can pick this up today at a bargain price of $4,490. I am no expert on vintage jewelry, so I don’t really know how what kind of deal this is. It is guaranteed to be Cartier and from the fifties, so in my book, it gets a “Cool Stuff” stamp. Check out other Coinologist All Things Gold archive posts here.

This laptop might be a little flashy, but it sure looks cool. Just throw down a cook $29K and your golden! Check out other Coinologist All Things Gold archive posts here.
Cross Pens
I have always enjoyed a quality writing instrument. While in my teens, probably for my confirmation, I received a set of Cross Pens. I enjoyed writing with them and soon became a fan. The A.T. Cross Company was founded in 1846 in Providence, Rhode Island. This family of jewelers started making gold and silver pen casings. The company developed many innovative new writing instruments, including forerunners of the modern mechanical pencils, and the earliest stylographic pens. The Cross pen became a “must-have” accessory for the rising professional during the 1970s and 1980s. Check out other Coinologist All Things Gold archive posts here.

National Automobile Museum | Reno, NV
My time in Reno has been wonderful. I finally made it to a place I have just always seemed to miss. I am a former Delorean owner and the National Automobile Museum in Reno just happens to have one of only three 24 karat gold plated Deloreans. So needless to say I was just a little bit excited. The gold dmc-12 was in the lobby and was the perfect car to welcome me to the museum. This place is a car enthusiasts dream. It starts off with the first car made in North America and ends with The Thomson Flyer, the actual car that won the 1908 New York to Paris automobile race. Keep in mind there weren’t many roads in 1908. Most of the vehicles were donated by William F.Harrah, who was a major player in the Nevada casino world. If you love cars and are in Reno, this is a must see! Check out other Coinologist All Things Gold archive posts here.
