All that plastic in the assay holder is annoying
Comment from : Mark Carroll

For 1/4 oz and 1 oz go for coins If you have a solit coin stack, you can start with bars (100g+)

You forget that stste sales tax is charged on minted sovereign coins in my state that is 775 a desl breaker , on a 200000 dollar Buffalo thats 15500 on top of the premium above spot The only way around this is to trade , silver our Gold in bars for a minted coin so that 200000 dollar buffalo turns into 215500 minus spot of 188000 is a 27500 loss typically a shop will pay 3000 to 4000 above spot on a buffalo so your looking at a net negative of 23500 to 24500 per Buffalo , verses a 1 oz bar that you can get on sale for 3000 to 6000 above spot Bars make more sense and than trade for a sovereign coin better yet trade silver bars for gold coins at a favorable moment and you can usually do pretty well
Comment from : Joel Mattila

Before I watch this] I know coins have higher premiums but I'm watching this to see if the higher premium is worth spending the extra money to potentially get more later but bars are my preferred way cause it's premiums are lower
Comment from : Shmirie

You get a serial number with the bars

I’d say the eagles will always hold a high value it’s the American patriotic bird status of wealth and freedom

Comment from : Artless Diamond Media

Coins are more fun but bars are a better buy If you have to sell quickly, gold dealers will only give you gold content value anyways So why pay more for your gold?
Comment from : Wargasm54

For the everyday investors, Is it better to buy common gold bullion coins or premium gold coins???? I've been told it's better in the long run to purchase Premium precious metals like gold and silver I know premium coins are more expensive Thanks -- Ray
Comment from : ray ray

I like coins and bars but I see the big difference between them two and honestly having more gold bars is taking much more space than gold coins because you can stack them easilybrI buy gold not because i want to sell it one day but because i need to have some value on it in case i need to sell it this is my emergencies I honestly don't care if I lose a lot of money if I had to sell it to fix my problems but just having it and making sure its not eaten by inflation its way better

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800 Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family
Comment from : Azadeh Leila

bYou can sell $30,000 of US Gold Coin to a dealer and he doesn't have to report it to the IRS/bbrHowever, if you sold $30,000 of GOLD BARs to the dealer/smelter, he would HAVE TO REPORT IT BY LAW*brBig FREAKIN difference there that you miss buddy
Comment from : John Smith

Coins are significantly more fun to stack than bars particularly, if you have favorites or rare pieces you like to revisit However, if you are trying to take advantage of it financially It is waaaaaay harder to psychologically let go of coins than it is bars

$100 buy back loss? Thats absolute bullshyt!!

Comment from : malik fayiz

I am a new stacker Not the most wealthy Modest worker I been investing in silver and been looking into gold also for diversification, can't afford an ounce, should I save up enough silver till I can buy an ounce with it and start over with the silver, or buy the 5g, 10g gold bars i can at a time I can?
Comment from : Jackson Billy

What about metals for IRA?
Comment from : Chris

How about Platinum just to make jewelry out of gold and silver will be made into chains just like old times
Comment from : justme

Bottom line gold is gold, if you want to understand this better look at Industrial beads and that should tell you something They tell you it takes money to process it and make a coin or a bar so how many times they going to charge you for making something that's been made Or charge epremium so they can make money If you look at the price over spot the true price of the gold or silver is the True Value of your gold and silver
Comment from : justme

Coins provoke a stronger emotional response, sometimes critical when selling it on

Comment from : Frank Murray

I own 10 ounces of 1 gram bars Only own them in case of Shtf scenarios Very easy to barter for food and nesesities when paper money becomes worthless !
Comment from : Ken Strauss

I'm watching this 11 months after release, but, the information still rings true Personally, coins scare me because of this "extra" value(and cost) over the melt or spot price Scares me cause stuff like that "extra" changes as a fad, or a whim of the people, or whatever you wanna call it Bars just feel safer to me for some reason If I by a bar, it is what it is and it's worth what it's worth, but with coins, I pay this extra, and even if the metal price stays the same, the price I can sell it for later might be less because of some reduction in the desirability I dunno, maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but bars just feel safer to me

In vietnam you can buy 9999 gold ring to invest :D
Comment from : Vàng bạc Việt Nam

One reason is you can get coins out of the packet The trouble with those packaged bars is that they lose value and are harder to test for a start
Comment from : Tom B

I have a question someone was singing the pluses of buying investment gold, American Eagle gold 1 oz MS 70 never touch by human hands vs an American Eagle 1 oz gold bullion coin The MS 70 has a higher premium but has a better chance of higher profit Is the MS 70 AE worth it?
Comment from : Andrew Kulczytzky

COINS >>> BARS
Comment from : THE BIGGEST SCUMBAG

Bars as plain as possible in silver and gold I say Also, fraction gold such as Goldbacks I say are solid
Comment from : Pioneer Spirit

I buy my gold and silvers to a very reputable bullion dealer I do not buy anything from ebay As a stacker, I prefer both gold bars and coins I only buy 1 OZ at a time or sometime more if it is on sale The big difference for me when I buy gold bar & gold coin is that, I get to touch with my fingers the gold coin, and the joy it gives me knowing I own it, before putting it in a capsule On the the gold bar, I never remove it from the package with the assay card to preserve it's value for future resale I really wish I could remove it from the package and just be able to touch it with my fingers just like the coins What do you think? Anyway, let's go stack some more!
Comment from : Arti Intel

I heard that over a certain amount of $ during the sell, you have to pay tax but if its currency (coin) it is except from tax Is this true?

Comment from : MrFirstonraceday

In Mn you aren't charge tax on bars, but coins yes
Comment from : Ronald Miller

With those bars I don’t like having to keep them in the card I like to hold my gold in my hands I only have American eagles and Buffalo’s don’t forget the tax break when buying American coins If I’m ever going to get a bar it will be a poured gold bar that I can feel the gold…✊🇺🇸
Comment from : John Adams

Comment from : Lut Ming Tsoi

In the town I live in no one wants to buy gold bars They want mostly American minted coins and Canadian maples I have head this can be an issue in other locations In a big city it most likely isn't a problem If you don't want to travel far in the future you should check from your local coin shop if they take gold bars
Comment from : MFB

I do prefer bars I like the assay cards, and they tend to have lower premiums

Comment from : Daniel King

I buy both I don't know if it's true but, I've heard that coins are legal tender issued by the government and therefore are subject to government rules and regulations which may give the government more power (confiscation) over your coins in times of emergency

Comment from : Shawn Allan Webb

I always get more money for my coins in comparison to bars Once, I found a counterfeit PAMP SUISSE Fortuna bar in my collection I purchased all from a trustworthy dealer, all packaged with assay, and never had an issue before I noticed that the Fortuna design was different than the others and found out that it may have been made in CHINA (of course) However, it was solid gold, took it to a shop, had it tested and verified The dealer bought the bar from me at spot price, didn't care about the design being wrong, he only cared about one thing, it's real gold
Comment from : RICO GOLDSTAR

The Krugerrand and the Gold Eagle are 22k, which means that in some countries, like Canada, you'd have to pay sales tax when purchasing(which is 15 here) Better to stick to the pure stuff
Comment from : Martin Leblanc

In a global downturn and paper money crumbling very soon, gold and silver will be worth the price per ounce, so coins won't be worth the extra,
Comment from : anthony marano

I invested in gold bars some years ago I bought 5kg and it’s only ever increased in value Yippee!!

Comment from : Junior Pineda

"Provedent Metals" pays a little above spot for gold bars for anyone interested to gm any brI am only stacking precious metals for a hedge against inflation, so I buy gold bars for thier low premiums,; knowing there will come a time when an ounce of gold, weather it be a Coin or a BAR (Bullion that is) will be basically identical in value, and only the wealthy will be interested in the very rare collectable coinsbrI have a couple guys who sell me pre- 1965 Washington quarters, sometimes other silver coins such as morgans, and scrap sterling silver at melt value, or a little more if it is resealable on eBay Most of the quarters are 1963-1964, so they have little to no ware, and weigh about 249 grams per roll, the same goes for pre 1965 dimes brThis means that if they were to be melted down, they would yield 715 ounces of pure Silver as they are supposed to contain this ammount without ware brI did purchase a couple rolls from JM Bullion one time, and they only weighed about 230 grams per roll, so I waited until silver went up in spot price to where I could break even (They buy and sell by the face value), and sold them back for about $100 per roll more including; Postage, Insurance, and 6 Maryland sales tax brThat is the difference in buying silver vs gold in Maryland State brIf I purchase more than $1,000 worth of gold in MD State, I am exempt from paying sales taxes brIf I purchase any ammount of silver in Maryland State; I have to pay 6 sales taxes That's why I only buy silver of any form from private sellers It is getting harder and harder to find silver in private hands anymore There has been a lot of advertising for buying precious metals in recent years brI wish I knew 30 years ago, what I now know about the value of precious metals, and other collectable items, but my time machine isn't working, so I don't drive myself crazy about the things I practically gave away when I was young, dumb, and full of bubble gum

Comment from : Nico Leonard

I think you didn’t cover another aspect as to why one would prefer one over another There are many women including me who would have their gold converted into jewelry In that case buying a bar makes much more sense due to the purity since American eagle purity is slightly lower than bar So the final purpose of buying gold also plays a big part
Comment from : Loveforgreen

Bars are better value less premium, coins are worth more in return I like both I want the fed to be dissolved in my lifetime and go back to real money
Comment from : Scott Tilden

In some Countries (like the UK) coins minted as legal tender are free from Capital Gains Tax So here in the UK its probably best to buy eg Brittanias, and they will attract a premium

Not really the ultimate decision
Comment from : mididoctors

You neglected to mention one huge difference ,Sales Tax!brIn Minnesota bars are exempt from sales tax but coins are NOTbrIn May of 2017, Governor Mark Dayton signed omnibus bill HF No 1 into law Section 17 of HF No 1 provides a sales tax exemption for precious metals bullionbrbr"Precious metal bullion" is defined as "bars or rounds that are at least 999 gold, silver, or platinum by weight, and are marked for weight, purity, and content Jewelry, works of art, and scrap metal are not exempt"brbrWhile this is a step in the right direction, this partial exemption does not include coins In 2019, a measure was introduced to include coins but it did not pass
