Personally, I assemble collections which I call "Wealth from Nations" : - For home country bias: Dutch gold ten guilder coins and Dutch .720 silver coins - Krugerrand gold coins - Maple Leaf gold coin and a tube of Maple Leaf silver coins - American Gold Eagle coin and a tube of American Silver Eagle coins - Australian Kangaroo gold coin and a tube of Australian Kangaroo silver coins - Austrian Philharmonic platinum coin, Austrian Philharmonic gold coin and a tube of Austrian Philharmonic silver coins - British platinum Britannia coin, British gold Britannia coin and a tube of British silver Britannia coins Each collection consists of 2 oz of platinum, 10 oz of gold and 150 oz of silver.

Yep, I saw 3 gold coins listed last night at a good price, 1/4 oz for $570cdn each, so about $77 less than getting the 1/4 maple here, has a rcm coa with it, and it's a tendered coin, but almost 16hours later no one has jumped on them. Clearly the design or something is keeping the buyers away on them. I didn't because I myself wasn't sure. My plan has been to stick with maples for my gold, being in Canada.

@ClassicalNumismatics 3 года назад

As an European, the Sovereign at around 1/4th of an ounce is a pretty excellent option with a lot of resale potential locally, and the premiums are generally quite low, particularly for randoms. Even the half sovereign has somewhat reasonable premiums, and is a really nice way of getting smaller pieces for those on a limited budget. Of course, for you guys across the pond the resale of a Sovereign might not be as straightforward.

@2is1gold 3 года назад

Yeah, it's different here. I'd be a lot more into them over there. Cheers!

@2 is 1 mentioned in a previous video to do your buying in relation to your geography. I stack mostly silver. I live in Australia and my stack is nearly half kangaroos - it's recognized by the locals and will be easier to sell when the time comes. American Eagles (Gold or Silver) command the highest premium above all other coins even here in Australia. I bought a lot early 2019 and it now makes up 40% of my stack and there is no coin in my stacking experience which commands the type of demand and premium these bad boys attract.

Fractional gold never hurts if you do not want to sell off your whole ounces. I try to stick to one whole ounce and either half or a quarter of an ounce. When I will be selling, there will be a bit of everything for every pocket from the buyers.

@2is1gold 3 года назад

Yeah, that's definitely a benefit.

@TalkingBullion 3 года назад

I always buy with the re-salability in mind...always. One of the reasons I don't like the foreign coins (although like most, I have a few) is that they have some different compositions in them. Without it being on the coin, you need to explain it or have to look it up yourself. I like to have stuff that requires no explanation when it is time to sell. As far as fractional...no problem buying that. I know it is more expensive but IMHO, may be easier to sell as well because I don't need someone with $2K to buy something from me. Thanks 2 is 1!

@2is1gold 3 года назад

Yeah, that point on not having to explain it to somebody is incredibly important to me too. That's my biggest complaint about junk silver. Cheers!

The 1/4 ozt. Britannia is my "go-to" coin for when premiums on Eagles and Maples get too dear. I think I've mentioned the "random year" Eagle - which is sometimes priced much lower than a 2021 and who cares if it's a 2009? My "oddball gold coin" is a 2005 5 dollar Proof coin that I got a great deal on (90% ,234 ozt) and it's a good looking coin.

@goldmaple5290 3 года назад

2 is 1, you should buy one quarter or one tenth ounce gold Krugerrands. That how you can save money on gold. I have done a cost analysis of all the major gold bullion coins and found this to be the best option of all gold coins. Another option is to buy 1gram, 2 gram, 5 and 10 gram gold bars. This is even cheaper than buying coins. You are paying a few hundred dollars more per gram or ounce when you buy coins.

@2is1gold 3 года назад

The best buy to sell spread worked in favor of Maples where I'm at because I could always get them locally. Over time, though, I run into new tax filing requirements with them. Eagles and Buffalos made the most sense all things considered. That's up in the air the last few months. Cheers!

Here's a different perspective: If SHTF and you are forced to leave the country, those foreign coins won't be a problem to sell. South African gold has been minted for decades. Its widely regarded in many parts of the world. Same goes with British gold sovereigns. In regards to fractional gold purchases: Excellent choice. Especially for newbie stackers with little money to invest, but still want to hold gold. Yes the dollar cost average will be higher, but fractionals will be easier to sell if gold ever explodes to super high prices. Also fractional coins are much easier to stash on person or hidden in clothing stitched inside the lining of a jacket for example. But I digress. Just some different viewpoints to warrant purchases other than your standard one gold eagle coins.

Yea I have a real problem buying the same coin over and over again. I know it technically shouldn't matter if its your savings account, and its just money in the end. Cause when you get paid, you don't say oh crap these 100 dollar bills just always look the same I want something different, yet with gold its different. I think its cause paper is so dull, it doesn't have a soul if you will that gold has. But yea I always strive to get at least one new coin out of 3 I buy.

I purchased a 2021 Bullion Britannia last month for about 5% over spot. I wasn't particularly impressed because when compared to a 1987 Proof Britannia (which I paid less fiat currency for a couple of years ago), the 1987 Proof Britannia is a more beautiful classic less busy design. I certainly would never consider purchasing the 2021 Proof 'box ticker' Britannia coins (go woke go broke). I do like the 2017/2018 Proof Liberty despite the silly oversized star head dress though.

I'm not really concerned about resale values with denominated Fiat Currency debt notes for gold coins. I even have a 2018 Royal Mint Year of the Dog 1oz (Zombie Dog) Gold Coin in my collection. It is perhaps the ugliest coin ever produced by the Royal Mint and they have produced some really ugly coins such as the 2011 UK Coin £5 / Crown Gold Proof Royal Wedding - William and Kate (the Junkie Kate), which I also have. If I was to sell both coins at today's prices I would still make £500-600 per coin (I was able to get the Junkie Kate for Bullion price around 5% premium, which would now get a 30% premium for a proof in addition to the increase in the Spot Gold price since 2018/2019 )
