I'd keep the ten individual bars. More liquid should you need some cash.

It would be interesting to know what you paid for each one.

Well, each 100 gram bar weighs about 3.2 troy ounces, and the amount I paid for each one was determined by the price of gold at the time. The last two that I bought happened when gold had dipped down to about $1860 per ounce and I paid about $12,500 for the 6.4 ounces of gold.

Sadly, the premiums on these little gems are higher now than they were when I first started buying them (probably due to the fact that my original source is no longer in business and I have had to get them elsewhere), but they are still relatively low.

I have receipts for all my past purchases, but they really are all over the place according to the cost of gold at the time.

That's pretty good, but now time to start a run of consecutive serial numbers.

You might be the only person ever to fill up the plastic holder.

I concur with the opinion to not get a 1 Kg bar. Many LCS are reluctant to buy the large bars because of the difficulty of determining gold content. The 1 ounce flat bars are easy; I'm not sure how easy the 100 gram ones are to test.

@Barryg,

Do you lay all the gold down and try to swim in it?

@hfjacinto: No, I already learned that lesson the hard way (pun intended) with my silver bullion.
