1/10 ounce is the gateway into gold for many of us. One a month is a very reachable goal for me. It does add up. Btw I prefer the clear capsules so you can see the edges. That proof gold Libertad is beautiful. The gold Mercury Dime was one of my 1/10 ounce purchases earlier this year.
I did a similar thing. My silver was getting quite bulky, but I'm not quite ready to spend big money, so every now and then, I'll pick up a tenth of gold and not worry about it too much.
Just pulled the trigger last night on a 1/10 oz. Britannia for $204 from Hero Bullion to add to my “jr. gold tube”. Also have a 1/4 oz. AGE-Type 2 on the way. (But I still love my silver enough to hit the LCS later today for some Constitutional!) BEAUTIFUL Golden Mercury‼️ Enjoy the weekend, my friend! 😉👍
I saw that deal! NICE! And I think I'm gonna have to adopt that term "Jr. Gold" haha.. Still no 1/4 or 1/2 oz for me.. I'm sure that will happen once I run out of 1/10 oz gold coin options. Always great to see you, Pro... I mean OO!
@@SilverForeverX some channels saying I'm a fool if I buy anything other than AGEs or buffalo's. But I dont see it that way. I think I can sell gold when I need to
No Pandas for me. Not giving Winnie the Flu any cash. I buy 1/10th Britannias - 1 for every 4 Gold Sovereigns to tip them over 1 Toz. Britannias any day of the week and Sovereigns are the closest fractional to spot.
Just ordered my tenth oz Maple Leaf! I like the edges, so I use the clear, direct fit capsules. I match with quarter oz, so they all fit in the same tubes.
Excellent! Congrats on your purchase and it sounds like you found a good working solution to store both your tenths and quarters together. At a certain point, keeping this as simple and consolidated as possible is an asset in and of itself!
Theres's a small ding on the capsule, but besides that it's perfect! In the original packaging and everything! Now I have a copper round Merc, the constitutional silver Mercs, and the Centennial Gold Merc! Nice you see you LCS!
I love the variety of 1/10 gold coins you have! I love the 1/10 gold Britannia’s and maple leafs. I hope you can show the Krugerrand in a capsule, and a 1/10 philharmonic in the future. What a great series and challenge, thanks a lot for sharing your beautiful coins with us!
Thank you, Sebastian! The phiharmonic is definitely on the shortlist.. I put the krugerrand in the capsule right after the video, so you can see it that way next time!
Thanks for watching, AGM! I definitely have my steady "stack" , but the collector in me likes to keep it diverse! Keeps it fun and it's much better for the channel!
If your going to stack ,,then the sheild backs half sovereign ,,is the one ,as they always goes up every year even if gold goes down , collecters can't get enough of them 👍
It is an interesting idea to pick up a 1/10 gold coin every month. I set a goal of getting an oz of gold every year. and managed to get 2 oz this year, Maybe for 2022 I should set a goal of getting a 1/4 of gold every quarter.
For me, it's just cheaper (by premium) to get 1/10 oz gold pieces. For whatever reason, they always seem to be at my LCS, but not the quarter or half ounces. Online, the fractional gold is typically just more expensive than what I can find locally. Always great to diversify the stack!
@@SilverForeverX If i find 1/10 for a low premium I get them. But that is not often. I also find British Gold Sovereigns with low premium occasionally.
@@SilverForeverX I can’t seem to find many quarters or half ounces at my LCS ether. In fact, I only saw a half ounce gold coin in there once. He has plenty of $10 gold pieces which are .48 of an ounce but no actual half ounce coins. Plenty of 1/10ths though.
When I started my channel, the Mercury dime was my channel logo because it's my favorite coin... I just HAD to pick that one up, but it's definitely the highest premium I've paid on a 1/10 ozt!
Good advice 👍. Some stacking is better than no stacking! Paper has no value! I managed to pick up 1oz of gold every month this year ,and 6 tube of silver in November/ December so far 😀. Keep stacking!
Thank you, I really enjoyed your video today. I don't have any of those 1/10th ounce gold coins but I do have 20 of the 1/10th ounce Canadian gold mini-bars that are also very beautiful. I am thinking now of getting some of the ones you have if I can find any. Unfortunately there are no local coin shops where I live. I did get an interesting gold coin today though and it is a 1967 half ounce Canadian Centennial gold coin with a fabulous crest on one side and lovely Queenie on the other side... Yes, Queen with a crown, unlike all the newer Canadian coins... Queen without a crown is just wrong...
Just checked out that coin and I really like it! I am very lucky to get good deals on 1/10 at my LCS but I have also found good deals online. Recently on a community post, I shared a deal I found for $190USD shipped! Thanks for your support Dakiniwoman!
@@SilverForeverX I paid about $260 for mine when I got it from the mint about 5 yrs ago. Spot price was around $1400 at the time if I can remember, so those mercs had a huge premium on them and still do. I bought 10 of them at the time. They are great coins.
Good point. White ring would do the same, but I just really like the black ring! I've done a few video updates on the 1/10 collection since this one-- check it out! Another update coming soon!
I absolutely love that Krugerand since 1980 is my birth year. I plan on getting one maybe next month because I'm filling a tube too so I will check my LCS for a 1980. Nice coins you got.
Not a fan of fractional gold, though I get the attraction (affordability, size, diversity of artwork, etc). The only one I own is a 1994 1/4-oz Singapore commemorative coin I purchased while living there. Otherwise, my gold of choice is 1-oz bars and coins.
@@SilverForeverX I have been buying them for a few years have eagles over 30 and other 1/10 oz gold rounds 9 more and i can hold over $6000 in the palm of my hand
First time to see you content, really well done and I totally agree. Silver is my first love buy at some point you gotta move to gold if for nothing else to save space!
Well said.. Silver is definitely my first love, but I am pretty diversified in metals and beyond. Check out some of the videos in the catalog, I'm sure you'll find some more you'd like.. I put a lot of time into this, and it's very rewarding to see folks like you discovering the channel and finding it valuable. Glad to have you with us, McLean!
CORRECTION TIME! - Obviously "side" is not a very descriptive term -- it's EDGE, SF! - Krugerrands are 91.67% gold, 8.33% copper, NO silver! (Eagles are 91.67% gold, 3% silver, 5.33% copper)
Thanks, Chuck! Something about the black ring just really appeals to me! I need to check again, but I think I'm close to 20 different kinds of 1/10 oz gold pieces in my collection-- I've made a few more 1/10 videos since this one
I bought 50 of these 1/10 oz britannias, eventually I came to the conclusion that the extra premiums I paid was a poor decision. The 1/10oz is 3.1gram is extremely tiny, whilst a half sovereign has much greater surface area for not alot of extra weight difference and lower premiums. Also the sovereign has a monetary history reflected in different dates and commemorative designs going back hundreds of years. BTW, if you expand security features in physical scale for bigger coins, they would become easier to counterfeit.
Good point about the security features. I only have 1 sovereign right now, but it's a fantastic one--- the 500th anniversary (video: th-cam.com/video/9zJZxFlL6Mc/w-d-xo.html) ! I personally love 1/10 oz gold coins, but I definitely consider them collector's items (for me personally) -- I only have a few duplicates here and there. Hopefully you have a found an outlet for some of your tenths where you can recoup some of that extra premium. Do you think you might find someone who would be willing to trade a 1 oz for 9 x 1/10 oz?
@@SilverForeverX I sold/swapped them for desirable 1oz britannia designs within the family, so if I need fractionals I can swapped back for my spare 1oz QBs.
@@SilverForeverX you could short cut to a 1kg ag completer, I bought one because it seemed the RM didn't seem to be bringing out a 10oz. Then they did, some months later. The QBs are represented all on the one big coin. I thought I had achieved my bucket list, then I found out that the RM released a bully version of the1oz gold standard in 2021, if you have that, I could swap ot a 1oz au completer or 4 x au 1/4oz QBs.
I actually just did a video about the 1kg Ag completer last week! I bought one at release, it's one of my favorite pieces. The most fascinating thing about that coin is its face value of 500 GBP--- in a league of its own!
Wish I would have been aware of the 1/10 AGE a long time ago.. I would have liked to have accumulated a complete date set. I only started collecting PM at the end of 2018.
Yes, I know. But my OCD will kick in and I'll be compelled to pay more for harder-to-get pieces. I think I am just going to concentrate on getting the best price and forgo the "collection" aspect.
I have a fair amount of penny capsules that I cut sections of a ear plug cord to fit the diameter. The diameter of the capsules are just under what a quarter is so they fit perfectly in a guardhouse quarter tube.
For me, it's about the same as 1 ounce Silver as it is for 1/10th ounce Gold. Prefer the Kangaroos & Britannias. The best deal on fractional Gold premium wise is usually on the US $5 Commems. You get almost 1/4 ounce of gold & they are usually very near spot price.
Nope, but you can order almost every size. Check out OnFireGuy (not affiliated) who sells a lot of AirTite products including variously sized clear capsules. Most of the online dealers have them for sale as accessories too. I'd say most 1/10th gold fits into the A16 size (16 mm for eagles, maples, etc.) but some like the Chinese Pandas and Somali Elephants actually need a larger size! Just look up the coin's technical specs for diameter.. If a coin is 20mm diameter, then you would search for A20 for direct fit. I hope this helps!
The treasure chest!😳⛵️⚓️. LOVE IT!!🧡 Fractional gold like the 1/10oz is how i got my toes in the water and eventually got my first 1/4 oz. Small steps. That Libratad, bruh... I'm jealous. 😅😁 Also, I'm definitely going to grab some of those black ringed capsules. You're right it makes it POP!
Dang now you're the one energizing me! Those libertads were a total score, I think some of the old school LCS owners aren't aware of what they're selling for nowadays!
The treasure chest is a nice touch. I've been reorganizing everything and putting them into chests with a lock and key of the treasure style. I've been aiming for a ratio of 1/10 gold for every 5 oz of silver lately.
Thanks JB! I just did a video about gold premiums and it REALLY drove home the point that you should shop around to find the best deals. For instance, prices for 1/10 Eagles varied from 15 to 55% (!!!) from the major dealers! Here's the link if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/j04r1bl-W_Q/w-d-xo.html
Started a 1/10 gold challenge as well this year. For me and anyone looking to increase their gold stack fractionally. Oh and someone will win a 1/10 from me. I really like that gold dime. Nicely done
Nice coins. I am excited to get some of my first gold coins here soon. Hope to get a 1/4oz and a 1/10oz. And Spegtacular is pretty cool. I enjoy his videos as well.
Great small gold coins! I like the Mercury gold “dime”. I would like someday to get that one and the other US Mint gold versions of famous old designs. Congrats!
I bought a package of 20 capsules for 1/10 gold size. It also came with a tube to store those capsules. So, of course, I need to fill the tube. I have about 8 more to get. But one of them is a 1/10 oz platinum Britannia. I thought maybe to move up to 1/4 oz once the tube is filled. Don't really like paying these premiums on fractional gold but it is hard to save up for one ounce size without spending the money on the smaller size or silver first. The price of 1/10 oz gold varies wildly among vendors, so people need to shop around.
I'm doing an update video soon, my collection is probably close to the same size as yours (in the capsule tube).. For me, I pay the same premium % if its 1/10 or 1/4 so I have just been sticking at the tenth. There are some interesting advantages at the 1/4 and 1/2 size, but I'm mostly stacking 1 oz and collecting 1/10 oz. I totally agree that people NEED to shop around if buying 1/10. What's your favorite piece?
I agree which is why I refer to this as my collection. For my gold stack, I prefer 1 oz coins. I recently did a video on these premium differences for the American Gold Eagle from 10 major dealers and found that, while some charge as much as 55% premium for the 1/10, you can regularly find them elsewhere in the 15% range. There's some great charts in that video, I think you'd like it! th-cam.com/video/j04r1bl-W_Q/w-d-xo.html
i pity the fools who have no self discipline. without self discipline, you will screw up your life. you gotta ask yourself :after you screw up your life, will having a few tiny gold coins make you feel better. @@ewetho
How much should I be paying for 1/10 gold coin i have a 1/8 we will remember them very nice coin my first one so any advice would be helpful in the uk very expensive can't afford a full oz
I don't know enough about purchasing in the UK to give you very good advice.. You have a 1/8th ozt gold coin? Here in the US, any 1/10 ozt gold coin typically costs $200+ USD, so if you can get close to that nowadays you are doing pretty well. Online today, I'm seeing them range from $200 at SD for a 1/10oz gold round to $300+ at APMEX if you want a particular year for a gold coin
Nice collection! Thank you for the video. Your favourite design is on the Palladium Eagle too. Are the 1/10 eagles thicker than the 1/10 maples? Given the copper, I would assume so. Have a great day.
Hey Petr, nice to hear from you! The Palladium eagle has 2 of my favorite designs, obverse AND reverse! Yes, the 1/10 eagles are _technically_ thicker, but not by much-- 16.5mm diameter and 1.26mm thick, whereas the maples are 16mm diameter and 1.22mm thick. One thing that surprised me is the 3g gold Panda (vs. 3.1g in 1/10 coins) is actually wider at 18mm diameter, but thinner at 1.02mm.
nice coinsI am excited to get some of myfirst gold coinshere soon hopeto get a1/4oz and a1/10oz and spagtacular is pretty cool.1enjoy his videos as well
I’m coming out of silver and into fractional gold as they are a lot less expensive over here than the 1oz gold and we have various animals I’m interested in, I have one USA one … hoping for a maple one day and I love the kruggerand 😍 they are hard to find here without huge premiums so slowly does it but I did score a few today … so a few is a collection 😅
Just started my 1/10 challenge so far I Have 3 Brits and 5 Eagles….. thanks to Speg for the challenge and all those who took it up a reported on it… got me inspired
I just picked up the 1/10 oz Devil's Brigade and 1/10 oz War in the Corral Sea for $202 & $205. I wasn't really in the market for either but the low prices were just too great to pass up. I'm looking to add a 2022 1/10 oz Maple but dang those premiums of 40%+!
@@SilverForeverX This is the first year and there are only 12,000 coins for the whole world. They have made them one ounce. Next year it is rumored that there may be a larger print run and other sizes.
Love your stuff man. But come on we clicked for 1/10th coins, two minutes in until we even see them. 1/10 is king. Sucky premium, but more barter friendly. 1oz you have to save for a year to get one and usually most aren't gonna be able to save that long to get an oz. You will end up finding someway to spend it. But the 1/10thoz, buy it and it's out of the realm of spending unless you go to a lcs or personal buyer. So yea, anyone that watches this video, don't be scared, get that 1/10th. And personally there is higher gold content in other gold coins than the eagle. Cheers.
Nice channel, good video, looks like you are going to do well in this space! Way easier to get into silver like you say. Good explanation on premiums. Great 1/10 collection! I use the black ring capsules as well on all of my gold. Makes them pop! The gold mercury is fantastic. One of my favorites and I don’t have one! 😡 Are you going to get the square 1/10 Australian map coin? Those are unique. Best of luck in your endeavors! See you around.
Thanks, VS! The 1/10 map coin is definitely on the list.. just picked up the AUS Battle of the Coral Sea for $191 shipped this month. I have a pretty great dollar cost average on this collection because I'm fortunate to get great deals at the LCS on fractional gold! It's always great to hear from creators like you, still feels weird after watching your content for so long! Cheers 🍻
I’m in uk so I stack half sovereigns, they’re slightly bigger than the one tenth but they’re low premium here so they’re cheap (ish). My favourite one tenth is the Isle of Man angel. Just subscribing. Great channel dude
Sometimes people keep their coins loose and I buy them later... Other times they look more scratched than they are because the capsules themselves are scratched
Get to know the people at your local coins shops. The value of that can't be understated. I just got a call the other day from one of my LCS guys. I picked up 5 tenth-ounce Eagles for less than what I would have spent on a single half-ounce coin from an online bullion dealer. And not "a little less"... A LOT less... Make some calls. Stop in and say Hi... Get to know them. It will pay dividends.
How about the South Korean Tiger? Those came in 1/4 and 1 oz denominations. They go for some high premiums though, but are beautiful coins, glad I bought them when I did. They might've came in a 1/10 oz.
@@DrSchor fact premium are huge but what can u do. U buy for small denominations and gold is money. So you have to look past the premiums. You may not like it but thats life.

I bought 50 of these 1/10 oz britannias, eventually I came to the conclusion that the extra premiums I paid was a poor decision.
The 1/10oz is 3.1gram is extremely tiny, whilst a half sovereign has much greater surface area for not alot of extra weight difference and lower premiums.
Also the sovereign has a monetary history reflected in different dates and commemorative designs going back hundreds of years.
BTW, if you expand security features in physical scale for bigger coins, they would become easier to counterfeit.
Good point about the security features. I only have 1 sovereign right now, but it's a fantastic one--- the 500th anniversary (video: th-cam.com/video/9zJZxFlL6Mc/w-d-xo.html) !
I personally love 1/10 oz gold coins, but I definitely consider them collector's items (for me personally) -- I only have a few duplicates here and there. Hopefully you have a found an outlet for some of your tenths where you can recoup some of that extra premium. Do you think you might find someone who would be willing to trade a 1 oz for 9 x 1/10 oz?
@@SilverForeverX I sold/swapped them for desirable 1oz britannia designs within the family, so if I need fractionals I can swapped back for my spare 1oz QBs.
Awesome! I really wish I had the full QB collection, I think it's the best series out there
@@SilverForeverX you could short cut to a 1kg ag completer, I bought one because it seemed the RM didn't seem to be bringing out a 10oz.
Then they did, some months later. The QBs are represented all on the one big coin.
I thought I had achieved my bucket list, then I found out that the RM released a bully version of the1oz gold standard in 2021, if you have that, I could swap ot a 1oz au completer or 4 x au 1/4oz QBs.
I actually just did a video about the 1kg Ag completer last week! I bought one at release, it's one of my favorite pieces. The most fascinating thing about that coin is its face value of 500 GBP--- in a league of its own!
Wish I would have been aware of the 1/10 AGE a long time ago.. I would have liked to have accumulated a complete date set. I only started collecting PM at the end of 2018.
Depending on where you buy, you could probably still get a bunch of the dates.. 1/10 AGEs are fairly common to find at the LCS in my experience
Yes, I know. But my OCD will kick in and I'll be compelled to pay more for harder-to-get pieces. I think I am just going to concentrate on getting the best price and forgo the "collection" aspect.
obviously, you are failing as a collector. does failing make you feel good about your gold choices? @@happyhippo4664
got my first 1/10 oz and I love it. I only purchased 1 oz coins before and after the 1/10 oz it makes me want to get fractional more
Nice coins! Keep stacking! 🤌🏼
Staying Stacked!
I have a fair amount of penny capsules that I cut sections of a ear plug cord to fit the diameter. The diameter of the capsules are just under what a quarter is so they fit perfectly in a guardhouse quarter tube.
Sounds pretty complicated to be honest! I like my 16mm capsules and tube for simplicity's sake, but I'm all about making do with what's on hand!
@@SilverForeverX not to bad took me like 10 minutes to do 16. I refuse to spend money If I don’t need to.
For me, it's about the same as 1 ounce Silver as it is for 1/10th ounce Gold.
Prefer the Kangaroos & Britannias.
The best deal on fractional Gold premium wise is usually on the US $5 Commems.
You get almost 1/4 ounce of gold & they are usually very near spot price.
Do all the different coins in 1/10th fit in Direct fit clear capsules?
Nope, but you can order almost every size. Check out OnFireGuy (not affiliated) who sells a lot of AirTite products including variously sized clear capsules. Most of the online dealers have them for sale as accessories too. I'd say most 1/10th gold fits into the A16 size (16 mm for eagles, maples, etc.) but some like the Chinese Pandas and Somali Elephants actually need a larger size! Just look up the coin's technical specs for diameter.. If a coin is 20mm diameter, then you would search for A20 for direct fit. I hope this helps!
Sweet centennial!! I love Mercs!
Well done.. Thank you for the exceptional advice.. ❤️💪🏾
I've got 3 more since this video, looking forward to sharing soon!
Right beside you brother
The treasure chest!😳⛵️⚓️. LOVE IT!!🧡
Fractional gold like the 1/10oz is how i got my toes in the water and eventually got my first 1/4 oz. Small steps. That Libratad, bruh... I'm jealous. 😅😁
Also, I'm definitely going to grab some of those black ringed capsules. You're right it makes it POP!
Dang now you're the one energizing me! Those libertads were a total score, I think some of the old school LCS owners aren't aware of what they're selling for nowadays!
The treasure chest is a nice touch. I've been reorganizing everything and putting them into chests with a lock and key of the treasure style. I've been aiming for a ratio of 1/10 gold for every 5 oz of silver lately.
The new Britannia with all the security details is my favorite coin in the world right now.
right now? how often does your favorite coin change
Great video! I love my fractional gold!
Thanks JB! I just did a video about gold premiums and it REALLY drove home the point that you should shop around to find the best deals. For instance, prices for 1/10 Eagles varied from 15 to 55% (!!!) from the major dealers! Here's the link if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/j04r1bl-W_Q/w-d-xo.html
love of gold coins is the root of all evil.. did satan make you buy them
@@DrSchor I like your trolling. Not bad 😊
Nice video....love it
🤜 🤛
Started a 1/10 gold challenge as well this year. For me and anyone looking to increase their gold stack fractionally. Oh and someone will win a 1/10 from me. I really like that gold dime. Nicely done
Everyone check out Paulybuck's channel!
@@SilverForeverX 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Beautiful golden mercury!!!!!
Nice pieces Man!
Thanks for the visit!!
I just checked. I am Subscribed. Great commentary.
Nice coins. I am excited to get some of my first gold coins here soon. Hope to get a 1/4oz and a 1/10oz. And Spegtacular is pretty cool. I enjoy his videos as well.
We are witnessing the emergence of Gold Scrounger!
@@SilverForeverX LOL... we shall see. I am a super huge fan of the merc design as well.
the Best!
new sub here and "wow!" on that 10 oz brittania. very cool and the gold mercury is very cool. older designs are more classy than the new.
Glad to have you on the channel! Check out some of the videos in the catalog, I even have a kilo silver coin from The Royal Mint!
Great small gold coins! I like the Mercury gold “dime”. I would like someday to get that one and the other US Mint gold versions of famous old designs.
Congrats!
Thanks Heist! There's obviously the Palladium eagle with the same design, but that's not in my price range just yet!
Awesome video! Great work!
Thanks, Carl! I put a lot of work into all my videos and it's really rewarding to receive positive feedback like this! Cheers! 🍻
Welcome
🚀
Wish I know about these different coin I would reallly like that brrittanna
I would love to get one of these mercury dimes someday
You need a Kookaberra!
Do I ever.. I really like the 2022!
Love the fractionals! Great collection!
I bought a package of 20 capsules for 1/10 gold size. It also came with a tube to store those capsules. So, of course, I need to fill the tube. I have about 8 more to get. But one of them is a 1/10 oz platinum Britannia. I thought maybe to move up to 1/4 oz once the tube is filled. Don't really like paying these premiums on fractional gold but it is hard to save up for one ounce size without spending the money on the smaller size or silver first. The price of 1/10 oz gold varies wildly among vendors, so people need to shop around.
I'm doing an update video soon, my collection is probably close to the same size as yours (in the capsule tube).. For me, I pay the same premium % if its 1/10 or 1/4 so I have just been sticking at the tenth. There are some interesting advantages at the 1/4 and 1/2 size, but I'm mostly stacking 1 oz and collecting 1/10 oz. I totally agree that people NEED to shop around if buying 1/10. What's your favorite piece?
I am from the US but I think I like the Britannias. I know everyone likes the Libertads but they are just too expensive.
panda gold appreciates much more than other coins bc each year the design is different and Chinese love to collect
Save your money on 1/10 oz. Add ten 1/10 oz and compare to a 1 oz coin. You'll save hundreds of dollars.
I agree which is why I refer to this as my collection. For my gold stack, I prefer 1 oz coins. I recently did a video on these premium differences for the American Gold Eagle from 10 major dealers and found that, while some charge as much as 55% premium for the 1/10, you can regularly find them elsewhere in the 15% range. There's some great charts in that video, I think you'd like it! th-cam.com/video/j04r1bl-W_Q/w-d-xo.html
But if I get the money out of my hands I am not tempted by other things!!! Now I have 8/10 oz of gold already
i pity the fools who have no self discipline. without self discipline, you will screw up your life. you gotta ask yourself :after you screw up your life, will having a few tiny gold coins make you feel better. @@ewetho
I picked up a couple Brittanias, $229 per I had to!
Hard to pass over that opportunity with today's prices!
How much should I be paying for 1/10 gold coin i have a 1/8 we will remember them very nice coin my first one so any advice would be helpful in the uk very expensive can't afford a full oz
I don't know enough about purchasing in the UK to give you very good advice.. You have a 1/8th ozt gold coin? Here in the US, any 1/10 ozt gold coin typically costs $200+ USD, so if you can get close to that nowadays you are doing pretty well. Online today, I'm seeing them range from $200 at SD for a 1/10oz gold round to $300+ at APMEX if you want a particular year for a gold coin
Great video sir.
New sub here..Im newer to gold as well..I have 1/10 and 1/4 Maple leafs..Britannia and type 2 American eagles..Take Care.
Happy to have you on the channel Richard!
You should check out the 1/10 Gold West Point Buffalo from 2008.
Nice collection! Thank you for the video. Your favourite design is on the Palladium Eagle too. Are the 1/10 eagles thicker than the 1/10 maples? Given the copper, I would assume so. Have a great day.
Hey Petr, nice to hear from you! The Palladium eagle has 2 of my favorite designs, obverse AND reverse! Yes, the 1/10 eagles are _technically_ thicker, but not by much-- 16.5mm diameter and 1.26mm thick, whereas the maples are 16mm diameter and 1.22mm thick. One thing that surprised me is the 3g gold Panda (vs. 3.1g in 1/10 coins) is actually wider at 18mm diameter, but thinner at 1.02mm.
nice coinsI am excited to get some of myfirst gold coinshere soon hopeto get a1/4oz and a1/10oz and spagtacular is pretty cool.1enjoy his videos as well
I’m coming out of silver and into fractional gold as they are a lot less expensive over here than the 1oz gold and we have various animals I’m interested in, I have one USA one … hoping for a maple one day and I love the kruggerand 😍 they are hard to find here without huge premiums so slowly does it but I did score a few today … so a few is a collection 😅
Great video! I smashed that like button, and already a sub.
Very much appreciated!!!!
Just started my 1/10 challenge so far I Have 3 Brits and 5 Eagles….. thanks to Speg for the challenge and all those who took it up a reported on it… got me inspired
here is a challenge for you: take they money you would have spent on gold and put it in a growth fund instead.
New stacker here. Wouldn’t Francs and Ducats be a better fractional investment for the lower premiums?
A challenge that’s actually worth it
name a challenge that is not worth it.
I just picked up the 1/10 oz Devil's Brigade and 1/10 oz War in the Corral Sea for $202 & $205. I wasn't really in the market for either but the low prices were just too great to pass up. I'm looking to add a 2022 1/10 oz Maple but dang those premiums of 40%+!
Nice! I've been lucky to score many low-premium fractional pieces locally. Sometimes it can really pay to find the right LCS!
Where did you buy it from? On line or local?
@@SilverForeverX both.
You need the new Spanish lynx bullion in your collection.
Wow, thanks for letting me know about this one!
Thanks! Do you know if there is a 1/10 ozt or only 1 ozt ?
@@SilverForeverX This is the first year and there are only 12,000 coins for the whole world. They have made them one ounce. Next year it is rumored that there may be a larger print run and other sizes.
Man i wish i was part of that challenge !
The challenge starts whenever you start!
@@SilverForeverX heck yes my friend , this is the challenge to myself this year !
@@silverstanger1103 I love it!
I want a gold Krugerrand so bad, any size.
I just happened to randomly see one at the LCS the other day, was pleasantly surprised to find it was the first year of 1/10 ozt issue!
you dont want it bad, of course, if you did, you would have one
Love your stuff man. But come on we clicked for 1/10th coins, two minutes in until we even see them. 1/10 is king. Sucky premium, but more barter friendly. 1oz you have to save for a year to get one and usually most aren't gonna be able to save that long to get an oz. You will end up finding someway to spend it. But the 1/10thoz, buy it and it's out of the realm of spending unless you go to a lcs or personal buyer. So yea, anyone that watches this video, don't be scared, get that 1/10th. And personally there is higher gold content in other gold coins than the eagle. Cheers.
Nice channel, good video, looks like you are going to do well in this space! Way easier to get into silver like you say. Good explanation on premiums. Great 1/10 collection! I use the black ring capsules as well on all of my gold. Makes them pop!
The gold mercury is fantastic. One of my favorites and I don’t have one! 😡
Are you going to get the square 1/10 Australian map coin? Those are unique.
Best of luck in your endeavors! See you around.
Thanks, VS! The 1/10 map coin is definitely on the list.. just picked up the AUS Battle of the Coral Sea for $191 shipped this month. I have a pretty great dollar cost average on this collection because I'm fortunate to get great deals at the LCS on fractional gold! It's always great to hear from creators like you, still feels weird after watching your content for so long! Cheers 🍻
awsome coins
nice 😎
I’m in uk so I stack half sovereigns, they’re slightly bigger than the one tenth but they’re low premium here so they’re cheap (ish). My favourite one tenth is the Isle of Man angel. Just subscribing. Great channel dude
I'm so excited just order my first Au 1/10 Age. 🙏
9 months later, are you still excited that you paid a high premium?
Where did you get that chest!? Looks fun for some fractionals😁
why is it scratched to chit?
Sometimes people keep their coins loose and I buy them later... Other times they look more scratched than they are because the capsules themselves are scratched
Get to know the people at your local coins shops. The value of that can't be understated. I just got a call the other day from one of my LCS guys. I picked up 5 tenth-ounce Eagles for less than what I would have spent on a single half-ounce coin from an online bullion dealer. And not "a little less"... A LOT less... Make some calls. Stop in and say Hi... Get to know them. It will pay dividends.
How about the South Korean Tiger? Those came in 1/4 and 1 oz denominations. They go for some high premiums though, but are beautiful coins, glad I bought them when I did. They might've came in a 1/10 oz.
I touched my gold eagle with latex gloves and it scratched immediately. Lol
What is the importance of mercury diamonds
1/10 or 3 grams panda gold fits perfect?
Sorry, I think the premium for 1/10 is too high. I have a few 1/10 but now I stick to 1/4 or higher.
Have you tried saying capsule?
Do I pronounce it weird?
Do all coin stores have junk bins?
What is the resale on a tenth oz? On say a new coin Or uncirculated !
Where is the best place to buy these 1/10 coins? Reputable place?
Like 1/10 but premiums are HUGE!!!
help new people out. how can you like them if the premium is huge. are you not contradicting yourself
@@DrSchor fact premium are huge but what can u do. U buy for small denominations and gold is money. So you have to look past the premiums. You may not like it but thats life.
