Which Gold Investment Coin In 1 Oz Size...

I would do a Canadian gold maple.

Oh, toasted for asking investment and resale question? Ok, I didn't realize that was bad! My money, so I just wanted some feedback. If I do get toasted at least I can delete my membership for asking a question on a forum.....Cause that is not allowed.

Thanks for answering my question too!

No it's fine, I'm annoyed that people would get upset about that question....Not you!

Anyway, so some say gold is not an investment? What do they refer to it as? Currency? Doom factor outlook? Just wondering..I'm new at this stuff.

Bullion coins from the U.S. (Gold Eagle) and Canada (Gold Maple Leaf) are probably the easiest to resell due to how well known and trusted they are. You pay a significant premium to purchase them, however, and you may not get that premium back when you decide to resell. I've heard some people claim that they know of dealers who will pay the premium if you try to sell American Gold Eagles or Canadian Gold Maple Leafs to them, but I've never met one of those dealers and the ones I have met ignore the premium and just offer a percentage of whatever the current spot value is regardless of what type of coin. Just something to keep in mind.

Coins from other countries, such as the South African Gold Krugerrand or the Mexican Gold 50 Pesos have a much lower premium, but you may have a little more difficulty when trying to resell them if the buyer is not familiar with them. Same goes for 1 ounce gold bullion bars -- low premium, but not as much trust.

If you are absolutely convinced that gold is going to skyrocket in value at some point in future, the premium you pay for an American Gold Eagle or a Canadian Gold Maple Leaf probably won't matter in the long run. Otherwise, getting a coin with a lesser bullion may be the safest route. I don't know what gold will do in the future (and nobody else does either, really), so I decided to purchase some of each.

Of course, if you're interested in the history and beauty of coins, you might also want to consider a historic gold coin like the $20 Saint Gauden's Double Eagle. They carry a hefty premium (which you'll likely never get back), but they are truly beautiful coins and it's well worth owning one if you plan on holding onto it.

Good luck!

i prefer fractionals, even at a premium. I like the 1/10 ounce American Gold Eagles or old US Gold coins. Just be sure to buy from reputable seller. Sitting on something for 4-20 years to find out when you try to cash it in that it's fake would be upsetting.

@sandwich5027,For sure pick up your Gold from:

JM Bullion
Providentmetals
APMEX
Silvertowne

Go to each or one of the their Web Sites,check out the prices and buy direct from them. You will get real pure gold that way.

As far as which one a Maple but as said above by members you have other coin options out there to pick from. I think u will have to spent around 1,200-1,250 for a Coin.

Hands down I would buy Silver. Few Silver PF70 Slabs and Silver MS70 Slabs along with Silver Rounds,Coins and Bars. Gold like Silver is still on the 3 year path of downtrend,think hard as I think you have and be ready to hold most likely as both Metals are suck going down most all the time. Buy and average down.

I average Silver down and glad I do. O have your favorite sandwich when you are buying,a happy memory may be needed in retrospect.Take Care

So silver? It just seems that the potential profit on silver coins is too low even when getting a good deal. Like APMEX has a silver eagle for 20 an oz. It would take forever for silver to hit $20 oz. Then need to pass that to make any money. What am I missing?

@sandwich5027,the name of the game for most is long time,some do sell short and make fiat it can be done. You have to be into the market price action,reports and good World News,along with past price movement around these reports,ect.
