Love stacking 1/10 gold. They’re always going to have fantastic liquidity, too. Might come a time where you don’t need to sell a full ounce, so that’s where these really come in handy. Great vid, bud!
Thanks! I was surprised to recently come across a shop that was paying less for 1/10 than 1 oz because they just didn't have buyers for the fractional.. always important to shop around when you buy AND when you sell
Living here in the U.S, stick to Eagles, Eagles, Eagles 🦅. The key is not to save a few dollars on each coin, unless you’re a flipper. The most important thing to keep in mind is the ability to store your wealth for the long term, with the ability to have the coins that allow you complete liquidity when the time of sale may arrive. Don’t walk in to your LCS with a handful of different sovereign, and generic Gold coins, because you may find out that they may just pick a couple, or so of the ones they believe they can sell the easiest. Walk in with a wad of American Gold Eagles 🦅, and they’ll pounce on them, and if not all, then whatever patrons are in the store will probably follow you out to scoop up the rest.
Believe it or not, I absolutely agree with you. The 2022 AGE I showed here was actually only a few more bucks than some of these other 'fancier' coins, and no doubt it would be much more easily liquidated. I always try to stress that this is my 1/10 gold coin 'collection' as opposed to my gold 'stack' which consists of 1 oz coins. I recognize many of these 1/10 pieces might be hard to offload, especially in a cold market, so I appreciate this advice.
@@dabo69691954 maples are beautiful Gold coins also, and most LCS’s would probably purchase them as well. They do tend to be a little bit cheaper than the Eagles 🦅, but as far as complete liquidity, the Eagle soars. If your stack were of just Maples, there is a limit (I believe it i 25) that you can sell, before you have to pay taxes on them.
The premiums are too high. Perth mint, krugerands, britannia, even maples are much cheaper. Most gold shops dont really care and will just tell you straight percentage over spot thry pay period and dont care what brand your gold is.
When I finish my full tube of 1/4 oz gold I'm giving serious thought to starting a tube of 1/10, if I can find deals. Like everyone I hate the premiums as you go smaller. Wife wants me to only purchase full oz coins, but there's something about a full tube of fractional vs one single full oz.
I've been pretty selective about only buying the deals for my 1/10 ozt, but there's no doubt I could have stacked more weight if I exclusively bought 1 oz coins. That's why I just consider the 1/10ths a collection.. I still haven't delved much into 1/4 or 1/2, but I'd be a buyer if the price was right!
by telling your self it is a collection you are deluding your self about making a a wise purchase. you are giving yourself a silly excuse to spend too much money. @@SilverForeverX
I like stacking 1/10 Oz so I can stay in budget and still get silver each month. I too want a wide variety which lends to the smaller sizes. I remember seeing commercials for the gold krugerand on TV as a teenager. I want one for that reason.
Great strategy, especially if you can find good deals. I'm almost certain that the Krugerrand I got was the first tenth produced en masse, very happy to have that in the collection!
I just recently got into stacking silver and have been looking at gold also. It’s expensive so I’m incredibly excited to see this video. The 1/10 coins are a good option for me to start with gold
Nice! You should definitely check out this video, where I compare the 1/10 oz gold Eagle prices from 10 major dealers... it makes a MASSIVE difference where you buy! Best of luck on your stacking journey! th-cam.com/video/j04r1bl-W_Q/w-d-xo.html
I've been buying 1/10th from Pmsforsale when I find them at or around 200 USD. I have Krugs, Phils, Maples and Canadian and Australian varieties. I also stack 1/4th and Sovereigns . It takes patience to avoid overpaying on fractionals, but if you can keep an average close to 2K per ozt - it's definitely worth it. Online prices are high right now, but everything is cyclical.
I picked up a tenth oz age for a good price, a 1879 ms 66 Morgan,83libertad and the first four years of the koalas. Not really what I was looking for but maybe some flips.
Loving the channel! I'm a pretty new stacker and have gone in all directions with that right from the gate. I definitely made some mistakes now that it's been close to 2 years I've been interested in this. I have several slabbed and proof 10th coins and I love them but I shoulda saved up and bought more for my money
I buy the 1/10 AGE when on sale. However I have seen maples a bit lower and even the AUS ‘War in the Pacific’ 1/10 gold coins for $20 less. It’s hard not to buy the cheaper coin.
I feel the exact same way.. the main problem is on the sell side... If you are OK with selling the War in the Pacific coin for $20 less than an AGE, then of course buy that! But I have encountered some LCS that have little interest in fractional unless they're eagles.. so there's also the issue of available customer base / sales opportunities. In my opinion, that's the best argument for stacking AGEs (or Buffalos) exclusively like 2is1 does
Government silver coins are so expensive. Outside of maintaining coin collections, they just don't make sense. Makes 1/10 gold a better buy if you have to have gov. 👍
The silver coin premiums have become out of control. I could see there being more upside potential in silver (long term) but I've definitely slowed down silver coin purchases in favor of silver bars and gold coins.
Personally, I don't think there's much good reason to go lower than 1/10 oz for gold or 1 oz for silver (unless you're talking 90% constitutional/junk silver). Fractional silver premiums are just too high to justify in my opinion. If you're just wondering about whether to buy bars in increments of grams vs troy ounces, I think it depends on your country. In general, I prefer gold coins over bars (although I do love my 5g Britannia bar) but I think silver bars are a great option. 10 oz bars are typically your "best bet" just because it's a very common size and you can often get good deals in terms of premium. However, right now you can get new kilo bars for less than $3 premium, so I've started stacking some kilo bars from the Germania Mint and even added a 500g version to the stack as well. They offer 100g, 250g, 500g, 1000g cast bars. I address some of those questions in this video here: th-cam.com/video/qIUyL1wRWls/w-d-xo.html
Best absolutely get a China 1/10 ounce gold piece they’re cheaper as far as in less money but still the same purity in gold and it saves you about $30 per 1/10
Silver Forever with the 1/10 proof gold libertad it says 1,000 minted and the other gold proof coins on Ebay says it doesn't mention how much are minted I don't understand that.
The best resource I have found for mintage info is actually Wikipedia believe it or not. If you scroll down enough, you can find the info for gold proof mintages which differs by year: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertad_(coin)
@@SilverForeverX that's confusing in my opinion where each year is different regarding the low mintage because it's the same thing with American 1/10 gold and more often than not they don't mention it on eBay till a seller sells his coin to make money in addition with the premium.
I think most sellers only mention mintage information when it is used to justify a higher price. Gotta check those numbers for yourself, and even then-- with some of the older numismatic coins, low mintage doesn't always equal the highest price!
@@SilverForeverX you made an interesting comment about how each year differs by year regarding mintage and cross reference it with Wikipedia and I appreciate that. With that said I looked up a one silver pegasus proof limited edition 1986 and it doesn't mention how much were minted so I looked it up and the Florida Canyon Mine filed for bankruptcy in 1998 with no mention of how much were minted.
I gave it a shot, but I couldn't find the answer either. I think I found the same websites that you did. It's usually easier to find mintage information from a government coin that a private company's round. I'll keep an eye out, but it might be hard to find! Good Luck Jonathan!
Where are you guys finding 15% premiums? I am still a little new to this. I am looking at Provident right now. 1/10 Maple Leaf is $277.99. Spot is $1940.99. That is a 43.2% premium. I am very curious to know where to find premiums that low.
A lot of folks use "findbullionprices" which aggregates prices from the different dealers. Go check out that website and thank me later! There are also even better deals to be had if you are comfortable buying from private sellers, but I wouldn't advise that yet if you are new to this. Personally, I would NOT pay anything close to that. Also check your Local Coin Shop (LCS) to see what their pricing is like! Best of luck!
I wouldn't normally go after them, but I'll buy anything if the price is right and I see upside potential. In this case, the premium was no different than the 1/10 pieces so I went for it. When I saw these from the online vendor, I turned around running! I don't think there's much reason to go below 1/10 ozt
Just started stacking again after many years of not doing so bought my first gold the other day which was a two and a half gram bar now found a place where I could get 1/10 Oz gold coins very good at a good price cheaper than the other two places I've been buying from my next one's going to be able to attend thoughts I do believe
Great stuff - I suggest not taking the coin out of the nice card - only potentially reduce the value - well for some buyers it may be important to have it in the original card packaging. - cheers for the enjoyable presentation of 1/10th goldies!
Hi! I'm from Philippines and I just started stacking gold in 1/10 oz types. I just purchased a 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf and it comes with a coin capsule. However, the coin rattles a little bit inside the capsule and I am concerned that the coin might get dented because of the rattle and given that it is 9999 gold and it's very soft. Should I be worried with the rattle or just let it be? I'm hoping for your advice about this as I am new to this hobby 😄
That's my kind of competition. No matter who gets more, we both win! Do you have anyt pieces I don't have? Trying to decide what's next, have my eye on the Kook!
I recently scored 10 silver Kookaburras all from different years at a great price.. now I'm trying to decide whether to pursue the set or not.. Decisions, decisions...
Yeah I've seen those in the 25-pack. It would be a cool way to gift small amounts of gold, but I'm pretty hesitant to go below 1/10oz unless the price is right!
I don't mess around with fractional silver bars, but I'm more open to smaller gold bars. Gold bars can be lower premium than coins, but you do lose some of that benefit as you get smaller. Technically, a 1/10 oz coin is 3.11g so I don't think that's too small per se. My bigger issue with gold bars is that I worry about them being easier to counterfeit than coins. However, I have a 5g gold Britannia bar that I love; it's in the assay, so that helps to build confidence that it's a legitimate product, especially coming from The Royal Mint. That being said, even if you have a loose gold bar from a private mint, most LCS can simply test it and will buy it no problem, but it gets a little more complicated with private sales. At the end of the day, it's your decision and no one else can tell you how to stack! Best of luck, Brandon
I think that's a great choice, especially now that they are basically the same price as the AGE. I really want the 1/10 oz Buffalo from 2008 but that's a hefty price. I'm sure I'll get one someday, but not there yet!
