Oil The Record The Salina Journal Tuesday April 12. 1983 Page 9 Sylvia Buying gold coins Under a most unusual joint effort between the U.S. Mint and private enterprises, announced Tuesday by the Treasury, you a collector, an investor speculator in gold can now buy U.S. medallions directly from banks, brokers, coin shops, dealers, etc. This will be your first chance in modern history to buy U.S.

gold pieces in the open market and choose among several delivery options. These medallions are not playthings! Nor is the purchase to be undertaken lightly. Gold sold on the market at more than $428 an ounce last week. The medallions come in two forms, one half-ounce and one full ounce. The Treasury will sell them to you at the market price for gold plus a small premium that will be competitive with that charged at retail for foreign bullion coins.

The premium is the markup over the price of gold and covers the costs of minting and distribution, usually between 4 percent and 8 percent of the value of the gold content. Until today, gold pieces issued by the U.S. Mint could be purchased only by mail order from the Mint itself. According to the agreement between the Treasury and J. Aron, the primary distributor, the gold in the medallions comes from Treasury holdings currently 264 million ounces and will be marketed and sold under the name "U.S.

Gold." The market for gold coins has developed rapidly since 1975, when Congress passed a law allowing Americans to buy and sell the precious metal. Over the past five years, American gold collectors-investors-speculators- gamblers have bought 15 million ounces of foreign gold coins at a cost of more than $5 billion an average of $1 billion in sales annually. The Treasury's new marketing plan is designed to tap this group so its countless members spend their money at home. In sum: This is another way the Treasury can earn some money and modestly improve the balance-of-payment deficit. Sales are estimated between $400 million and $500 million a year, depending on the cost of gold.

Aron can make this specific estimate give or take $100 million because Congress mandated that at least 1 million ounces of gold be minted each year under the American Arts Gold Medallion Act of CHICAGO (UPI) Wheat, corn, oats and soybeans were lower at the close Monday on the Chicago Board of Trade. Wheat was off V. to off 9V. cents; corn unchanged to off oats off 2 to off and soybeans off to off cents. The market took a reversal from the opening session closing in the weak pits from to 10 cents lower.

Most of the contracts attempted an early break in the close, but the showing was stifled by professional selling across the board.

Aron bought the unsold inventory roughly 1 million ounces of medallions struck in 1980, 1981 and 1982. The legislation authorizing minting of these pieces runs through 1984. Under the previous distribution program, buyers had to go through a complicated and lengthy procedure at the post office. Delivery could take several months, during which gold prices would have changed one way or another. Mint Director Donna Pope told a House subcommittee, according to a recent issue of Coin World magazine, that 670,000 ounces in unsold inventory from 1980 and 1981 still remained.

So now you can buy and sell gold medallions much more easily, quickly and efficiently. Also, the new program offers you: The ability to buy U.S. gold at many outlets; A choice among several delivery options, including over the counter, mail delivery, purchase for storage at any institution; A ready resale market as against none at all in the past; A way to get more information and names of nearby dealers, or even place an order simply by dialing toll-free 1800-USA-GOLD. But should you buy? What's your purpose? If you had bought gold in the recent past, you would have bought a built-in loss and heartache. I've never been captivated by gold, its mystique or its deep-deep appeal to the vast numbers who mistrust all paper money.

And the mistrust is justified for the record of paper money over thousands of years of recorded history is a race (speedy or slow) toward complete extinction. So, you must answer this question about gold on your own. If you want gold medallions, U.S. minted, in your portfolio, OK. If you want to give them as gifts (not OK.

If you want to trade or gamble, OK. I'm not entering this debate.

Indonesia to buy nine Salina-built Beechcraft The sale of training planes to the Indonesian Air Force is good news for the Salina Beech plant, where the T- 34Cs are assembled. Beech Aircraft Corporation announced Monday it has sold nine Beechcraft T-34C-1 single engine trainers to the Indonesian Air Force at a cost of $12.4 million. The plane is an international version of the Beechcraft T-34C, which Beech has manufactured for the U.S. Navy. The planes will be assembled at the Salina plant, which is in production on a contract to deliver 120 of the planes to the U.S.

Navy. The Indonesian planes are scheduled for delivery about a year from now. Frank Pedroja, Beech spokesman, said the contract for the turboprop trainers would mean a "continuation Weather rather than an increase" of employment at the Salina plant. Pedroja said the sale would be a "stabilizing factor" on employment at the Salina Beech plant. Currently Beech has 617 workers at the plant, Pedroja said.

Employment has increased by just over 100 since January as more workers were recalled for the T-34C and other projects. The new planes will join a fleet of 16 T-34C-ls which Beech delivered to Indonesia in 1978. Beech has delivered a total of 86 T- 34C-1 and turbine mentor 34C versions to international customers. In addition to Indonesia, other countries operating the Beechcraft trainer are Morocco, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Gabon and Algeria.
