  • Why invest in small Gold Bars?
    Buying small Gold bars like the 1 gram, 2.5 gram Pamp etc the you need to be aware of a few things like potential fakes on eBay and such like.
    The reason is simple - in relative terms to buy 1 gram of Gold in 10 years will require more than it does now - much more than 5 grams will be a real barrier to entry into the Gold bullion market for many people.

    I really like your videos. I also like buying the small 1g to 5g gold bars. When people say it isn't worth it due to higher premiums, they don't realize that you DO get those premiums back when you sell! (Like you mentioned). For those of us who are not wealthy and appreciate real money, this is the way to go. And yes, I think PAMP is best, followed by Valcambi. Thanks for your videos! ;-)

    What a wonderful observation which helps me to feel better about buying the fractional gold. I never thought about about how much easier it will be to liquidate those vs full oz and bigger as well as the market demanding a high premium once the spot price reaches future highs. It's really not a bad choice although so many stacker channels always say the smartest is to go larger for lower premium which is true but for the purpose of high prices,the fractional will be more than easy to convert.

    Another very viable reason to hold small bars instead of big ones, and I'm saying this very seriously, in case of some emergency scenario where you need to buy food/pay for transport/whatever and economy is in tatters, it's much easier to have lets say 10 bars of 1 gram than one 10 gram bar. Not to say you shouldn't get any of the bigger ones, but you should have a fair portion of small ones as well.

    Great video! I’m in total agreement. If I had a large sum of money I wouldn’t bother with sovereigns at all. I’d just buy as many 1gm gold bars as I could afford. Plus the more you buy in bulk the premium goes down. But you can also still sell them ‘with’ the premium you didn’t have to stump up for. The great thing about these 1 gram gold bars is that they are closer to real money. They are not too dissimilar from a £50 note in value. It’s cash/currency but it’s also investment/bullion. It’s also a unit that is used throughout the world. Imagine being up shit creek in the middle of nowhere but you remembered to bring your 1 gram gold bar with you. That £50 - £100’s worth will get you out of the shit. Try selling a gold sovereign to a random when you’re desperate. In a poorer country it’d be even worse. 1 grams bars all the way!

    The problem with small bars like these is the premiums are really high as a percentage of the total cost to purchase. A one ounce bar or coin would have a smaller premium. I believe I read that in the UK silver is assessed sales tax on purchases but gold is not. Are British issued silver coins tax exempt? If so, I would recommend buying one ounce silver coins if you have limited funds instead of these high premium gold bars. Oh, and don't buy any bars off of Ebay. You're just asking to be scammed. Stick with known coin dealers.

      I think the premium is only an issue if you are trying to flip Gold in the short term based on performance. If you are holding for 5 years its not an issue. I try to have a split of Gold in my portfolio that is for quick gains when prices rise to liquidate quickly with profit, and the other buys are long term investments.

    Long story short, if you got big stack of cash in your hands then you go for it and get the largest gold bar as possible to save some premium, but if you are saving regulary like 200-500 dollars a month then you go for the fractional bars and coins. But important to remember, you never ever go for fractional if you got a huge cash at one moment, cuz i know many people who love to spend their 10K with many fractional bars rather than getting one bar for the same amount. They always ended up paying 20g worth of premium for their behaviors!

    The mark up when you buy 1g comes to around 68 pounds when the actual price of a gram is around 43 pounds is this not a problem when it comes to re selling as you could only sell 1g for the market price..
    When to buy it online you have paid the mark up? I do not really get it. Any one can help me to understand? Thanks
    A 2.5 gram bar is around 137 pounds at the moment so slightly better I guess but I do not understand how paying such a mark up on 1 grams is a good idea.

    • @TangibleLife

      Hi Boku.. because someone else will be picking up that premium when you sell it on in 5 to 10 years time. Show me 1 gram of Gold for sale anywhere on the Internet at spot price? IF you have to fire-sale your 1g to a coin dealer a week after purchasing it then sure you will get burned.

    @Mickthemove_ Před 3 lety +1

    I know this video is last year, but i cannot get my head round the fact that if you buy the physical gold from these bullion companies in the small quantities mentioned, you are paying a premium on the actual price of the gold of about 20-25%, if you need to liquidate them they will only buy it back at roughly the spot price. Tell me if i am wrong but unless you are thinking of a very very long investment game or buying 1KG bars, you are just lining these bullion co's coffers

      Yes good point.

The proof is on eBay at any point you can see small bars will go for 25% + over spot all day long.

      Hi there - dam right I'm gonna throw them on eBay, as eBay is probably the largest coin market place on the web. I'm selling 1g gold bars that I paid £45 for 3 months ago for £70/£80 today on eBay when spot is only £47. People could actually but from a bullion dealer for less than eBay, and that is because demand is so high at the moment - and dealers have supply issues. In 10 years the same £45 should be at least £65 if not doubled judging by the way things are going with Covid, endless money printing, Gold backed cryptos, Mining supply issues and on eBay than means near £100.. better return than sticking it in the bank and hoping for 15% interest rates which will never happen in our lifetime... although the downside is that there is always risk attached to buying Gold...

      Hi, I would try and do both. I think given current climate I would like to have at least 10% of my wealth in physical Gold. If you can afford around £150 pm on Metals then that would be a great start. I think 10% of your allocation could go on Silver. For example one might buy a single 2.5g Gold bar (or 2 x 1g bars) and a 1oz 999 Silver coin for around that price. I think if you go much less it's going to take a long time to accumulate anything worth having in the timeframe you have. You must make sure you can afford to keep your investments for the long term and not overextend and have to sell the what you've built up a few years later to pay a bill or something, that would be gutting.

      Hi Amy, Good question. Firstly I would make sure that whatever you buy now you can afford to keep for at least 1-3 years. If it was me there is a dip in Gold price at the moment, so if you can get a 2.5g quite soon I would say it would be a little better. But 1g Gold bar is also just fine. Silver is good, so you could get a 1g Gold and a couple ounces of Silver for around the same price as a 2.5g Gold bar.

      Casey Mashiter the price of the gold will always have its value and sale price. It depends who you are selling to that you may get a little extra for the premium/branding especially if it is a rare bar that had limited supply, if the gold is still in mint condition eg still in packaging, you may get a little extra. Essentially, depends who you sell to, if it’s a big company, they probably will pay more for branding,

      @@sydcorp_innovation_asf9338 For just one bar (I think it was only a 1g Pamp) I opened the Packaging and had a good old fondle. Once I had done this I was over it and never felt the need to open any again. I also have a Gold and Silver coin to fondle this gets me over touching coin purchases too!

      I bought 10 1gram bars and I’ve kept the film on 9 of them. I just HAD to take the film of one. Too tempting. As the man says if we want to resell them the buyer wants them to be as a good as new.

    I look at it like this if a nations currency tanks at least you know gold retains its value, prime example of this is Venezuela, their money is worthless but those that may have gold have something to barter with.

      Hi, if the research shows like you say they look reputable and they've been trading for years I can't see a problem. Perhaps order small amount first and see if that arrives ok.

      Stick with bullion dealers. One bad deal on eBay will erase any savings you thought you were getting. Jm bullion is my favorite but I also use apmex

    Premium is a theoretical value, just look at silver, spot price of silver is unpegged from physical bullion price. I say this, because in realmlife what matters most about a gold piece is affordability and buyback performance. Premium means nothing if you can resale a gold piece making a good profit or taking a small los if you had to sell too soon because of an emergency.
    5gram bars hace excellent buyback performance, and I stack those. I might stack one gram and 2.5 if I prove they are profitable and liquid enough by making selling experiment. Also, keep in mind govts will have a tighter grip on our money the more we move into digital, and in the year 2040, pulling out cash from an ATM or transfering cash for a full ounce of gold will NOT go unnoticed by the authorities, they will try to chip into your transaction with some tax or ban or restriction.
