Should I Buy Fractional Gold Coins? 

Curious about smaller denominations? In another video, we look at the 1/10 oz Gold Canadian Maple Leaf and talk through the pros and cons of higher premium, fractional gold. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-25qWv7XcOgU.html

'If gold goes to $25,000 who's going to buy it'? Strange question. If it goes to that price it means people are buying it at that price.

I know that this is an older video, but currently Gold is at over $2000 per ounce. 1 1oz american eagle is about $2180. 4 1/4oz coins are about $2700. That is over $500 more for the same amount of gold, a huge markup, and a hard sell for some liquidity, IMO.

I like your delivery guy.Straight to the point without the fear mongering.

When I’m buying gold, I prefer fractional pieces for several reasons: - Cheaper for me to buy instead of spending $2k for one piece. - Easier to liquidate in the future and I won’t be selling 1 whole oz at a time. - The premiums aren’t an issue because you get them back when selling. - It keeps me within budget on converting fiat to precious metals. - What happens in the future when gold is $4-5k per oz? Acquiring it is more costly, selling it can be more difficult, etc.

Premiums are making the smaller coins less attractive to me

Another great video. Some of the most down to earth discussions on RU-vid. Keep them coming

I’m not a fan of fractionals. If I need smaller amounts, I’d more likely use silver.

Another good video. I have been watching a lot of your videos these last few days. Thanks for all your help. I made a good educational jump in to the gold world today.

Thanks for the advice, will definitely begin stacking gold with your formula.

I can watch your videos all day, good stuff!!

OMG! I loved those books... i think i was in 4th grade when i first read one and was blown away... gonna search ebay and find some for my kids! Im in the process of watching your older videos while waiting for new installments and if you have any left and available for an average joe id love one of them stickers!! Id put that sticker on my welding hood for sure and climb around the iron here in Vegas. My first gold was 1/10th and its just ridiculous, ive come to appreciate my 1/4 the most and think ill grab a 1/2 next just to be sure, still lusting for a britania

I have been buying (mostly) gold coins for many years... In my view, or rather from my perspective, I value my horde of 1/10 oz. gold Eagles as the smartest acquisition of all.... First, it just looks good to pull out a small plastic container with over 120 shiny gold "dimes" which can easily be hidden away from prying eyes... (you can actually "bury" them in a big jar of pennies, for example, which a metal detector might spot and still ignore.. or, perhaps in a coffee can, or whatever... ) Next, over the years, the premiums paid for the 1/10th, (and the quarter oz. as well) just doesn't seem to matter very much... For example, if you bought many many 1/10ths at $120.00 to $140.00.. well, why worry?? My local coin shops are almost always out or only have a few 1/10ths... they are almost always the least expensive way to acquire U.S. gold coins... they almost always have the highest "premiums", but those premiums tend to fluctuate vs. demand... Just keep that in mind if you are dealing to sell.... My guys will pay me a bit more if they are out of them and need some for special customers... Notice too, how many of the larger internet dealers are always, "out of stock" or "notify me"... and of course, the smaller fractions are by nature the most "liquid", which is important... Lastly, when gold is spotted at $5000.00 per oz. ,,,, which it will be one day..... none of this will matter much if you just keep on believing and stacking, right?

1/4 is the sweet spot for me

I love your channel. Find the level tone of your advice excellent. And would love a sticker or 2.

Thanks for insight mate. Grest video as always. Hope you're back to full health soon 👍

I totally get the Choose Your Own Adventure reference! LOL. That's awesome. Fractionals are a must for me. The smaller the fractions the more of them I want. I use them for several of the reasons you mentioned in this video, and to create a buffer for my larger gold pieces in case the need to liquidate does arise. Will also hopefully have a lot to pass on to my kids, and maybe afford a few vacations in retirement. Thanks for the interesting video!

😂 I remember the choose your own adventure books! Great channel man 👍 just starting my stack, and your videos are most informative. Thank you.

Watching again after two years of stacking. I like stacking both as well, as it leaves options open.

DUUUDE! the sebenza 21 is my jaaaam! My guy! Good taste! 👍👍👍

Being a new sub, I would love a sticker....or 2, I use the term 2 is 1 often referring to being redundant in any prepping. BTW, I enjoy your dry witty sense of humor as well.

Love the videos I went out today and got a half eagle all the tips about buying gold were really helpful

1/4 is the sweet spot for me. I like having the extra 'jingle' in my coin box to play with, rather than just having a few big clunkers. It's an affordable coin to comfortably buy each month. And I figure I could sell to a wider market. I've also started adding British sovereigns, 20 francs, $5 commems to avoid the heavy premiums. All these coins are around the same physical size, so my stack looks pretty consistent. I guess I'm geeked out that way.

Outstanding video. Pure logic, and a similar path I took and continue to take. 1/4 oz are the sweet spot! My 1 oz coins are the Alamo of my stack. I want 7 1 oz for every 3 oz in Frac. 👍🏼 for the reasons you stated.

I really like your thoughts on the keeping of gold at where you are at certain times. Currently working on my gold stack and continuing my silver. Would love a sticker!

Excellent video! It is always great to have options that over 99% of people don't have.

Great information and I'm still on the fence about the cost and I will start on a tube of 1/4 oz gold eagles...I'm working on the 20oz mint tube of 1oz coin's as I told you before..this helps alot

Outstanding video! Thank you for the education and insight. would love a sticker or decal.

I’ll definitely take one of those stickers good video man thanks!

i've been enjoying your clips, and have a love for knives as well. thanks !

This channel is great, I make a habit to watch it when I have metal fever and want to buy, it helps me sort out my decisions

Very helpful and informative ..... and you have got one super cool voice !

Silver Britches sent new over. Like your approach and content

LOVED choose your own adventure books !!! read ALL of them, had most, the rest i got the library to order… did you thumbmark critical forks too? just so you could follow obvious major branches in the storyline, and go back to folks other major storyline shifts without going to the start too? or was that just me?

If the dollar ever fails, having a balanced stack of silver and gold, and in fractionals - may be important. A 1 oz gold coin might buy you a larger item, but for food, water, and your every day necessities - these smaller coins and bars will be handy. Plus, if you get mugged with a few 1 oz gold eagles in your pocket - that could ruin you. If things get so bad that we are trading silver, gold and even things like ammo - you'll not want to carry all of your eggs in one basket. One of the main reasons we stack is to diversify our finances, so it stands to reason we should have a diverse cache of precious metals. That's what I'm trying to do on a very limited budget. That's why I think your advice here is very solid. I listen to a few different people on YT and there's some sage advice being given. It's easy enough to separate the smart from the delusion, and most of the channels offer good, solid advice - and I thank you.

I am at 3 quarters at this time this video reinforced my thinking thanks. Nice looking stickers

Great video with common sense. I’m a little late to the party. I just started in this for hopefully long term investment. I purchased a 1/4 oz eagle and kind of thought maybe I should have waited to buy a1/2 oz. This video kind of eased my buyers remorse. Eventually I can get some 1 oz coins but it’s a journey not a race. Thanks again. Probably to late for the sticker huh?

hey! need a couple of those cool stickers! love your channel!

I enjoy wayching your videos and the insight that you give. Thank you. How can i get one of those stickers.

Another great video . Thank you for your valuable input.

I'm putting up 200 oz of silver before doing anything else. This is a good view on gold and once the 200 oz of silver is put up ill be putting up gold instead primarily and when there is money left over I'll be getting silver.

I own both sizes.. It’s a smart idea. Kinda of a wild card holding some fractional. The quarter and one tenth’s gold is ALSO "cuter". Lol. I agree with the idea of fractional fitting in to the odd places, (in this game) that the large chunks don’t really fit in.

I like the 1 oz coins however i can only afford 1/10 or 1/4 oz at a time each payday. Knowing the premium is higher for these i have no choice but to suck it up

🔴 Another advantage which you briefly touched upon: the added flexibility in being able to more readily split up your reserves between different locations. "Don't keep all your eggs in one basket". A portion of your reserves in a private vault in Singapore, another in Liechtenstein, one in the US, then some on-hand. Easier to do with fractionals than all one-ounce coins.

I love that you play D&D. I play as well. Love your videos

Once again I love your thinking.. Thank you.

I’m glad I learned about this. I used to think fractional gold was nonsense, until it was explained to me the benefits of both fractional and full Oz. I started buying fractional a little bit ago, and nice way to sneak those stickers into your video haha. So sly!

Love the 1/4 oz coins! But getting really hard to find anywhere! Current times we live in I guess. Lots of demand!

So your 2nd home is a place in the mountains ⛰ you and your family go to enjoy the great outdoors Owning your own successful business has allowed for that.👏👏👏👏 Well done so far

Love your channel and the sticker.

I have 1 oz coins because I like the size and weight. I do agree that I need more variety in sizes though for the reasons you mentioned 👍

A dealer told me he'd rather buy 1/10 oz., because he can sell them fast!

Once again. Spot on. I totally agree with this video. My favorite is 1/4 oz as well. I have 13 1/4, 6 full, 2 1/2, and 7 1/10 oz along with some pre1933. The 1/4 is by far easier to unload if need be. Great sticker

I like your logical thinking.

Good practical advice, thank you.

I love fractionals because you can set them in a coin bezel and wear them! Premiums aren’t great but it’s a great wearable emergency currency if you have to make like the Vontrapp family. They also make great little gifts for people who understand & prefer value over junk trinkets. I only wish the bezels were also bullion grade ,9999 fine but I guess that’s a practicality issue, so it’s ok.

Thank you for the tips, I always save 1/10 to 1/4 zo

great video. given my budget and an impatience i've been buying more fractionals. 1ozers are the better choice by far but it'll take me 3 months to save for them and i just can't wait lol

I don't think I ever survived a choose your own adventure book... Great 80's-90's deep-cut!

I love gold as well. I personally think you need 20 of each. I kinda like the fractional stackers method a tube of each lol. Got my 1/10 tube done and only need three more of the 1/4 oz to finish that tube. But I agree with Silver Britches as well i like the 1/2 oz the more of them I get the more i love the size. Yet it seems to be the size least loved by most people. I wonder why that is? Anyway another great Vid. Keep up the great work

I watched this video two years ago and the 1/10 oz video …. I have 14 1/10 oz coins as of today and 9 1/4 oz coins ! Thanks for inspiring me

Nice video, I've stared with fractional. Gave me reassurance Thanks man

Great video. Thanks!

Thank you. I believe its time for me to start stacking gold over silver. Even with the quarter ounces, I think im better off with Value to Premium.

Just bought the 1/4 oz +/- for the $5 Indian gold head. Love the design and always wanted that coin

I agree with your assessment. I own gold to hedge my other assets against losing value, but finding that I should increase the hedge percentage regularly. Oh that stinking Dollar.....

1/4 ML for me! Great vid liked and subscribed! 👍

For every 10 1/4 oz. coins you could have bought another 1oz of gold. If you have to sell your gold for emergencies before the collapse you should focus on other priorities first.

In times of emergency, fractional gold coin is more liquid.

Thank you so much for the great content @2is1 I just found your channel recently and going back through and watching everything and giving them 👍… Continue the great work and P.S do you still have any “2IS1 Stickers available?

Yankee Stacking also dropped one this morning about this. I stopped buying 1/10 and started buying 2.5 gold pesos. Still not the best way to stack, but the premiums were better. When I lived in Boston, I was afraid to use a fingernail clipper in public. I'm in Arizona now and my post office has an NRA sticker on the front door! LOL. First time I saw it I couldn't believe it. The teller at my bank started a conversation about her new pistol while she was counting my cash. hahahahaha. I LOVE it here! If you come to visit, you can use a machete to open your mail! P.S. - nobody is pulling statues down here or setting a business on fire.

Pretty clean looking sticker!

1oz is my preferred. But those 1/4oz are nice to stack, even with a slightly higher premium. And they are easier to sell when the time comes.

I’ll take a sticker or two. Love your videos.

Again with the Sebenza 21😜 Should do a review on its value; or a strider or hinderer 👍 xm 18 is my daily carry while the sebenzas are still safe queens

Goldco guarantees to buy back gold at the highest retail market value. They also add a pretty big premium on the fractional coins. Coin shops won't pay that much - not even close. I bought from Goldco because it is the top ranked precious metals dealer in the country. I shopped a coin dealer to sell a 1/4 ounce coin. I was offered 1/4 the price of 1 ounce of gold bullion, about $450 at the time. Goldco offered $778 after shipping and insurance for the Australian fiat coin. Substantial difference. That takes the worry out of being able to recoup your fractional gold coin with its premium intact.

I have a question... Everyone who I listened to these past few months, including your videos, seem to all unanimously agree that the 1/2 oz gold eagle is considered an "oddball" size and may not be easy to sell in some cases. What is your opinion on this?

When I first got into gold and silver I was buying 1oz coins at $1200 from coin shop once to two times a year. I switched to 5gram bars at end I’d 2020. I’m now buying 1/4 oz and 5gram bars each month giving me a little over 2 oz a year.

I used to get a different choose your own adventure from the library every week lol.. good times.

Fractionals are a great way to make manufacturers and vendors happy.

I used to have a lot of fractional gold but unfortunately I sold some of it. These days I stick to the full oz. coins....Was in a different place when I was stacking years ago.

Great content, any channel stickers left?

1 oz and 1/4 oz is the way

If the price is the same, the 1/4 ounce rounds; but since the price isn't the same, one ounce rounds. I have silver for smaller needs. I don't plan to ever sell unless SHTF.

Bonito vídeo impresionante Piedras felicitaciones amigo gracias por compartir un abrazo buenas tardes 👏👏👌👍👏☺

Well I just purchased my first 1/4 gold maple leaf 2021 this evening for 543$, I think it's the perfect size. I do have a 1-oz gold buffalo and several of the 1/10 gold pieces. I've decided to go with the one quarter, it just seems like the best choice despite the higher price 🥇👍

Diversification is key in ALL things. I believe 1oz and 1/4 oz is a good combination to stack.

Just bought my first gold. It was 2- 1/2 gram assays.

What precautions should I take when buying gold peer to peer?

I didn't get the choose your own adventure can someone please explain?

Got them all love them in all sizes ! Fractional premium is bigger the larger the less premium you pay ! 1 oz is the spot !

i use to buy 5, 10 or 20 1/10s at a time back when the premium was 10-15, however now a days I think the full 1oz is a no brainer

Hey I'm a 62 year old do you think it's a good idea to purchase 20 one once coins?thanks

I’m new to the channel, great content!! I’m on my fractional gold now, currently just getting started. I would be interested in some of those awesome stickers you have!! I’m willing to trade!!

I have commented to your channel before, so thought this is appropriate for me! I would like two channel stickers. Why two? I am an over the road food grade truck driver and would like to put one on my 2019 Peterbilt, and one for my personal Ford pickup when I am at home in South Florida. How would a loyal fan accomplish acquiring two elusive channel stickers?! Thank you, and once again, kudeos on the great channel!

You made a very good point.

My biggest take away from video is the meaning behind “2 is 1” channel name that there is follow up and “1 is none”. Plus the channel sticker itself. I would take one .... but I don’t need a backup 😂

0:00 🤔 Fractional gold coins offer flexibility and liquidity compared to one ounce coins. 3:00 💰 Buying smaller denominations allows for more flexibility in emergency situations and provides access to a larger pool of buyers. 5:42 🛡 Fractional coins are easier to buy, sell, and carry, making them more tactically advantageous than one ounce coins. 7:56 📉 One ounce coins have a lower premium cost percentage and may be less emotionally tempting to sell for short-term expenses. 9:45 📊 It's wise to have a balanced portfolio of both fractional and one ounce coins, with the allocation based on individual circumstances and goals.

Just brought 1/10 oz Brititiana coins. Hope to get a few 1/4 oz as well.

Terrific explanation
