  • Is Buying SMALL Gold Coins BETTER Than 1 Oz Gold Coins RIGHT NOW is a video interview with another one of my silver and gold dealers discussing the benefits of buying small gold coins. Buying 1 oz gold coins has its benefits, like less premiums. However, fractional gold bullion coins allow people to buy small gold coins more frequently. 1 oz gold like the gold eagle commands a heavy price for most people. Smaller gold coins like 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold are good alternatives. Fractional gold coins allows people to own some gold without having to break the bank trying to save enough money for a bigger purchase. The question is, which fractional gold coin is best to stack when gold stacking?

    Hey stormy I agree with most of what you said. Only thing I consider when buying fractional is future spot price. I know spot fluctuates but regardless I feel gold will have a higher low later on. Majority of people believe gold will be higher. Realistically can’t see gold at 10k like some people say. But I know it will be higher than what it is now. So if that’s the case then all the premiums we have paid for fractional will be eaten up and we may even make more money selling those instead of a full ounce in the future.

    In these times I think most folks are just stacking what they can afford .
    For the seasoned stacker, lately for myself I’m getting more into the 1/4 oz size . It just feels right . But if I have the cash on hand I’m always going full ounce especially if I can get it 89 and 99 over spot . Luckily for me my LCS prorates all his fractional so 99 divided by what ever fractional I buy .

    Just like you were saying, buy what you can afford, but continue to buy. Don’t get so focused on whether or not the market is up or down. But if you want, you can use the Gold/Silver Ratio (GSR) to determine whether it’s smarter at this time to invest in gold or silver. But keep on investing. Like the dealer said, someone will take it no matter what. Either you’ll get the intrinsic value of the numismatic, or they’ll at the very least give you bullion value. But you’re still going to get something.

      Have you ever considered old world gold coins like Francs or Pesos? They are fractional and often can be bought at spot or close to spot. There's also Pre 33 gold that can be affordable. I like the 1/4 and 1/2oz coins because they're easy to sell to individuals so if I need to sell I have a bigger market than just a coin shop. Usually I don't buy 1/10th oz coins but last month I found a screaming deal. They were $190 each so I bought 10. Keep an eye out for sales and keep stacking.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. From my point of view the 1/4 ounzes coins are the sweet spot. Also in the past the most used historical gold coins have a similar size. Sovereign = 0,24 ounze, vreneli, france, Lire,... =0,19 ounze, german empire =0,23 ounze. It is most likely that if we really use Gold coins for trading, that this size would be used often. Of course for big families and expensive Investments, the full ounzes would be better.

  • @edb3877
    @edb3877 Před 2 lety +5

    Agree in general but not with the idea that a 1/2 oz. gold coin is some sort of oddity. I started buying gold
    1-oz. coins in late 2013. This was perfectly fine for a while but then I started thinking that having some gold
    in hand to make certain that I could pay my property taxes when they are due, regardless of the then current
    economic situation, would be good. I have no plan to pay these taxes in gold but to sell the gold and use
    whatever kind of money we have at that time. I'm also thinking along the lines of some sort of economic
    collapse, depression, or other fubar situation where it might be difficult to make change. Because of this, I
    started stacking some fractional gold coins. These are all 1/2 and 1/4 oz. coins. The 1/10 oz. gold coins
    have more premium than I want to pay. I did a back of the napkin calc on this and at that time a 1-oz. gold
    coin could be had in my hands for $2,000 delivered. But, if I were to buy 10 of the 1/10 oz. gold coins for
    that same oz. of gold, the price was close to $2,600 for that oz. That's a little on the steep side, IMO.
    I do have a pretty decent silver stack, though, and it should figure into all this as well.

  • @FaCtlandDREAMstreams
    @FaCtlandDREAMstreams Před 9 měsíci +1

    i usually get 1/4 krugers but in the dip i went with 1/2 since the spot was so far down and the premium so low that the difference between the 1/2 and some of the 1/4s i’ve purchased before only amounted to like $300, i don’t have any whole ounces right now , they really to me are the goldilocks of the gold coin, just the weight for its size and the value of what you are holding is a combination that is very satisfying, but for me right now that would be too long to wait and save for and i wouldn’t want to take that loss from premium by trading up fractionals, but ideally i would like to have 1 ounce of every denomination tucked away, then stack 1/4 all day long until a good dip comes along and go for 1/2 or a whole pie, but always always adding to the silver stacks what i can when i can. it’s always worth watching the ratio between the two for an opportunity there as well.

    Much prefer the fractional over full ounce Gold pieces. May pay a little higher premium, but they are a lot easier to sell and very popular too. Grams, 1/20, 1/10 & 1/4 sell fast. While the 1/2 to full oz take more time before selling from what I've witnessed in online groups. Would have been neat to see what other Gold coins are selling for on Apmex of similar purity. Such as 1 oz .999 fine 24k Gold Britannia's, Philharmonic's, etc vs Maple's and Krugerand's vs AGE's. Just as a matter of personal preference, always pick up 24k.

    One of our CZcamsrs broke down the math and how the worst of the 1oz is still a better buy than the best prices of a 1/10. Soooo I’m working hard to save up for a 1oz for the summer! Hopefully before July!
    Thanks for the info stormy!

      Don't over look the 1/4 and 1/2 oz coins. The premium on them isn't bad. 20 Francs and Pesos are usually available for spot or close to spot. Last month I found a screaming deal on 1/10th oz Australian coins for $190 so I bought 10. It only ended up being $80 over spot for an oz which is what I could have gotten a 1oz maple for.

    Don't have much gold (a Britannia 1 oz and a 2022 gold sovereign) but was checking fractional gold just now on JM Bullion and it seemed the 2022 quarter ounce Armenian Gold Noah's Ark was a bargain ($100 less than the 2022 quarter ounce Gold Eagle) . Does that make sense? Just re-checked $87.52 difference now. Might have been some spot movement to get the $100.

    In 2021 I started buying 5 gram bars. Reason being I’m trying to stack as many ounces as fast as I can. I’m building my gold ounces so in case of an emergency I don’t have to dip into my bank account. It takes 31.103 grams to equal 1 Troy oz of gold. 5 gram bars cost me anywhere from $330-$350 per 5 gram bar. I realized the end of 2021 I can acquire 2oz or more of gold a year buying 5gram bars. When I I buy 2 5 gram bars twice a month. Thanks for the video

      No, they won't. In fact, the average person is unlikely to be into stacking at all. Those who are into
      stacking tend to be the same ones who are proactive and don't like the way that things seem to be
      shaping up in the future. Inflation used to fly along under the radar of most people because growth
      was higher than inflation. Now that this has reversed, it is clear that fiat currency is not the way to
      store one's wealth. Those who have extra money in hand tend to want to protect its buying power
      via converting it into gold and silver.

  • @fazdoll

    If you're looking for fractional metals for direct barter, you should have mentioned gram bars! The Perth Mint and private mints make 1-, 5-, and 10-gram fractional bars. And you made no mention of the Valcambi Combibar breakable bar, which is a sheet of gold that breaks off into pieces The combibar comes in a 20-piece sheet of 20 1-gram pieces, or a 1-ounce sheet of 10 1/10 ounce pieces. If you can afford the one-ounce bar, you pay less than half the premium per 1/10 ounce vs. the Maple, and you get 10 all at once. No, it's not a sovereign coin, but if you're looking to save on premium, it's an option.

    • @EmpirePreciousMetals
      @EmpirePreciousMetals  Před 2 lety +1

      You are correct, but bars tend to be not as sought after, which is why there’s less premium. I prefer to have items which will appeal to the majority.

      @fazdoll thanks for reminding me about the Perth Mint gram bars. Just checked out the pricing on 1g and 5g bars and they are way cheaper per gram than a 1/10 or 1/4 oz coin. The 5g bar is not much over spot considering the small size. Plus those machined bars with the Kanagroo etching look sweet, no problem in moving those if you have to.
