Gold Bullion -- Coins or Bars I have done some light reading on investing in gold - but that was a while back. What's the trend these days on investing in gold bullion? Bars or coins? Thanks!

Re: Gold Bullion -- Coins or Bars Nah, that's all old fashioned stuff. What you want is gold futures contracts, gold stocks, or maybe the gold ETF. Welcome to GIM!

personal preference. My particular preference is for coins - Nothing is more recognizable than Krugerrands and british Sovereigns, IMHO. They are the most prolific 1 oz items around. Further, IMHO coins should be harder to counterfeit than bars. I personally tend towards those things that are more instantly recognizable to those who have little or no interest in PM.

Re: Gold Bullion -- Coins or Bars Good to have you here, spider. Just like AuAg says, the best bet are coins unless, of course, you are buy hundreads of thousands in PM.

Re: Gold Bullion -- Coins or Bars I usually buy the 100oz gold bars. Buy at least 10 and you get a discount.:haha:

Re: Gold Bullion -- Coins or Bars Welcome to the GIM. It's coins all the way for me - at least for gold. Currently, they are not practical to counterfeit. If it weighs correctly, and measures the right size, then it's pretty much guaranteed to be the real deal. I think it IS possible to make a fake with the right weight and dimensions, but currently, I think it would cost more to make it than the cost of the gold. Now silver, on the other hand, I have both coins and bars. ST
