Totally agree, when I have a chance to buy 1g, 2g 5g and dont have the money to purchase a larger sum, I don't look at it as a waste of money. Cause I don't see buying gold as purchasing a product especially one you don't need, but an investment. I view it as me converting a paper money to metal money, something with an inherent tangible value. Think about it, if you decide not to purchase that small sum of gold, most likely you will end up spending that $50-$60 dollars buying stupid things, like morning coffee, or a video game, or smokes, what ever your vice happens to be. So it will end up being wasted. With that one gram, if you decide you need cash few months later or years, you can always just sell it, and get most of your money back. Even if you loose 10% or even 20% its better than having spend all your cash on a useless item that has no resale value at all.
So true, you won't lose.. show me 1g of Gold show me 1g of Gold for sale at spot price on the Internet anywhere, long term Gold is strong Dollar in big trouble.
1gram bars are perfect for bartering if the economy takes a 💩 know what I mean? You're not going to use a 1oz bar for food or petrol etc.. I just purchased 4 1gram ,4 2.5, 1 5gram bars because of your videos. I've been buying silver bars and rounds for a few months now. Much love and mad respect from the Pacific Northwest 🌊🌲🗻
I like the idea of also having a few of these as a back-up emergency fund: pick up some 2.5, 5, or 10 grams and pack them away in a Pelican box for a rainy day. You'll have them, they will retain or increase in value, and it will be less tempting to blow it on frivolity as you might do with spare cash...
@@kencur9690 I can’t afford 1oz of gold. I can afford the smaller sized bars, like the 1 gram sizes. I know for stacking there are better options, but as nice little gifts, they work fine. I still prefer gifting silver though, it’s more affordable and readily available.

Glad you talked about fractional gold pieces not all of us have the funds to get bigger pieces like myself I have a few 2:5 grams and 5 grams I'm happy at that
Thanks, well I think I've realized its all relative, many people I speak too could't afford to keep a single gram for more than a few months let alone years. You can soon build a decent little stack goign slow and steady over time.
I think there are pros and cons, a few dealers I've spoken too have said they're really easy to sell all day, very affordable for many people, depending how the price goes in the future it could be that some of the bigger pieces are a bit of a stretch for the average buyer. My first 10 oz were mostly fractional pieces with about 2 oz in small bars 1g 5g 10g etc, I'll keep picking up small bars at the right price but keeping an eye on those premiums
I feel fraction Gold and Silver is a great way for new investors who are nervous entering the market to “Dip there toe” then once they’re more comfortable and have learnt more about Precious Metals they can increase there stacking purchases. Great Video btw. New Subscriber here :)
Doesn't hurt to be able to add small denominations. I usually buy silver for this but if gold is what is in demand it's nice to have them. Generally I'd buy most in larger amounts though
I honestly don't care about premiums. A premium to me is the manufacturer cutting up and cleaning up your gold for you, making it all pretty. Of course there should be a fee aka premium or you can go ahead and clean it up yourself.
First of all any gold is good gold! You're right about premiums. Except they're hard to gain when selling again - even 2nd hand markets. But hey as you said there's much worse ways to spend 50 bucks! 😁 One thing against the 1 gram bar though is that in (most of at least) EU for gold to be considered investment gold it must be more than one gram (and for coins .900 fine or better and for bars .995 fine or better). So those 1 gram bars just doesn't make much sense except for gifts where you're pushing yourself moneywise. A much better deal will be the next step up 2,5 gram or go for coins 1/20, 1/25 or 1/10 oz. Still quite high premiums but still affordable and a much better price pr. gram. That said - sure I too have a few small bars but only 1 of 1 gram. Can be I'll buy one or two more as my favorite dealer now carries his own custom design (made by Nadir) for significantly less than the Swiss 1 gram options he carry. While a bit versatility IMHO is recommended I'll though suggest you limit your buying of anything less than 1/4 oz (coins or bars, vintage coins can have lower premiums and so they can be as low as 5,8 for the Franch franc etc.). Put the money aside perhaps in a piggybank and whenever the amount is enough to cash whatever you want a then go do it. Just do yourself a favor to calculate price per weight unit. As said above as a generel rule of thumb is that 1/4 oz and above that's where premiums flattens out. For smaller values I stack silver. Unfortunately in my country silver is not VAT exempt and ordering online is typically a fortune in shipping. So most of my silver is some form of "junk" silver. Vintage coins and medals - but hey most of it I've hunted 2nd hand markets and got below and some even way below scrap value (yes I'm sure of authenticity).
Hi, Yes excellent choice buying fractional bars. I am Gold stacker 24k bars only. I buy 1 Gram to 5 Gram bars for 11 months. Then on 12 month I buy big Bar.
@@TangibleLife Yes bro, because to be excellent stacker you must buy no matter what every month for atleast 20 years miniumum. Then you will get excellent results
For a few grams ok. However if you want to buy each month 1 or a pair of 1 gram bars, wait until you can buy a set of 10x1 gram or even 20 grams. Or wait for a time and buy a valcambi 50x 1 gram gold bar but yes that could be too expensive. So I should wait until you have the money for a 10x1 gram gold bar so you pay one time premium.
Thank you very much for the information, it was very helpful. How about buying under one gram of gold? I've seen them on eBay for under $20.00. Thank you for your time.
I have a few of 0.10g of a gram bars I only bought these because the price was so good. Really I think 1g is the smallest I would stack on a long term.
People shouldn't buy them if they live from check to check, all to many times people do this and the 1st time they get in a bind they are forced to sell it, this is when you'll loose money
I disagree. There's no better way for someone to save money and the cash is being destroyed these days. These are affordable for most people but if you do get into a bind, maybe collateralize it and get your gold back. You don't want to come off an asset that works even for the small investor as well and pays you capital gains the more patient you are, and with nearly zero maintenance besides securing it and buying when prices are weak. If you're living check to check, it's a good time to get into wealth building IMO. Precious metals, especially Gold is the way to go. I do love silver, and I think it's clever to own both and use them to your advantage, but Gold is a much more stable, smoother ride. Although I admittedly cut my teeth in silver.
Precious metals is the one asset class that got me over the fear of playing the long game. I used to do a lot of day trading and speculating, and physical bullion is a good way to learn how riding out long term trends in an asset that appreciates is a powerful move, especially when you have a lot of wealth to protect and distribute. Getting started now and shaking off the fear and the need to sell the second the price jumps is very important. The great thing about metals is that it can scale to meet the investment needs of anyone's financial situation.
For fractional i buy lower karat 10,12,14k scrap wedding bands and hoop earrings. Simple. No stones, plain Jane. I hardly ever pay spot let alone premiums. I can convert the math to establish purity and tgw. And the nicer pieces are easy to resell. In bullion its never lower than an ounce for me.
Gold confused me. You are buying gold and paying a premium on the gold so you basically lose money instantly ? Because if you want to sell it back you won’t get ur money back ?
I would only buy 5g bars and bigger, because here in Spain only bars bigger than 2g are considered Investment Gold, and are this tax free. 2.5 Bars are too tight in that definition in the face of possible future changes in the law. I might buy a single combibar of 10x or 20x grams to cover chances of a bartering SHTF scenario though.
Try not to buy gold from those sites, they charge insane amounts for premiums. Try to find a local coin shop, you will save 30%-50% of the premium cost. Just to give you an Idea I bought a Canadian Leaf 1/10 ounce from Ampex and paid $290 after premium and shipping costs. I bought the exact same coin a few weeks later at a local coin shop and paid $225. Yes its still quite a bit more than the true gold value of a coin which is about $185 in pure gold value, but no where the insane amount of $290.
@@voltsoftruthBSbuster was what you got from coin shop in good condition? Ampex is fine if u buy at least an OZ only $80-100 over spot price. and u can trust that site imo but anything under the premium is super high I agree
Bruh... 100 bucks for a gram of gold?? I mean if it was super rare vintage Engelhard but even then that's alot. Go to a local coin and bullion shop trust me. I have a shop near me that's thw best gold seller on ebay. Cheapest prices. Apmex brands and what they carry is good but pricey. I bought a 2.5 gram valcambi suisse bar in the assay all u know brand new for 167$ and i STILL overpaid! Lol
My late bf gave me a ring 24k gold 4.3 that time it was just worth 100$ when he bought it way back in 2001, now if i will pawn it , i can get it for 400$ after 23 yrs. I still have the ring. May he rest in peace.
problem with 1g gold bars is if u need to liquidate in a hurry cause u need some cash, most pawnbrokers or goldsmiths or bullionshops aint going to pay u anything more than spot,sometimes lower,so u lose a ton of the premium.... and taking a 20,30 percent hit is massive, u might as well be sticking to banks deposits and CDs....if u can its better to just save up and buy a 5g or 10g gold bar, 10g gold bar is only 5 percent above spot sometimes u can even find it at spot.....
I think the fact that 2 years ago we could get 1g bars for £50 and they’re now £75 is enough of a justification to prove 1g bars are worth it. Fractional is much easier to shift than 1oz at £1700. I’ve seen 1g-1/4oz shift faster than 1oz. Dealers almost always won’t give you back the premium, selling privately is much better
it's uneconomical to fake 1 gram gold bars at current spot price with the assay card, the lowest weighted fake bars starts at 2.5 grams, so I say it's safer to stack 1 gram of gold.... for now
Hey I'm 15 and have made myself up to around 1600usd or around 1200 british pounds from buying and selling computer parts and wanted to save a bit of that money from inflation. Would you recommend buying a 5 gram gold bar or a 1 gram bar to start off with?
@@TangibleLife Ok thanks did decide on a 10oz silver bar from 9 fine mint instead since I found a coupon code and didn't pay too much over spot. I will most likely buy some gold though in the future.
My brother see something he likes he automatically buys it makes Christmas shopping a bit of a pain. I am thinking about purchasing these for Christmas. Hoping he's not insulted
I have a couple grams of gold, just remember if you're not getting a decently premium bar you're just gonna get spot back. Also remember you're gonna need 31 x 1g bars and 1.5 grains to hit a troy ounce.
I think it is okay to have small amounts of gold as they would be far more useful it times were hard and you needed to use your gold for barter or to buy things... I started off buying only 1 ounce gold pieces but then I realized it was pretty limiting so I got some packs of 1/10th ounce mini bars... they are so cute to look at also. A variety seems more sensible to me. I would not buy bigger than 1 ounce gold pieces myself... I also have quite a few of the quarter ounce. I am not sure how big those 1 gram bars are as I have never seen one.
it would be nice if apmex had a program where you could buy 1 gram at a time and if you keep them and retain in their package and show recipt then you can exchange 31 of them for 1 oz piece of gold and then accumulate enough of those and exchange for 1 piece of another gold
Isn't 1 gram of gold higher priced? So after buying 32 grams or so, the cost of one ounce, have I over paid? Guess I should watch the video, before asking the question he answers almost immediately lol....im gonna leave this up as a lesson to all
Are the 1 gram gold bars the best long term investment for high profit/return when selling in the future? What do you think their potential value would be in 5-10 yard time compared to other forms of gold?
I think 1g is good but you have to remember its only 1g and you will need to keep going (stacking) consistently to build a worth while stack of wealth for a 10 year time-frame (every month minimum)
@@TangibleLife yeah. My goal is 50 - 1 gram gold maple leafs. Got 2 so far. Larger gold too. But I think having a oz 30-50 1gram gold pieces are great. If you ever need extra money for an emergency night not need to sell a full oz. just grab a few grams and got a couple hundred $$
Well of course, your not going to get anything if you sell when spot price is much lower than the price you paid, but the whole point is your selling it back in the short term, physical Gold should be a long term investment. If you want to take a risk and make something in the short term on the performance of Gold then trade Gold stocks.

Good idea, you do save a serious amount of premium doing that. I found that as I got more confident stacking Gold, I'm happier buying it in any form to add to the stack. I understand why new stackers prefer branded and sealed.
In my opinion they are a waste of time let’s say gold is at $74 for 1 gram you got 5 1 gram bars and that’s $370 dollars you could’ve sent on something bigger
I like to have a bit of both. Put it this way - inflation is at 6.2% in the USA and banks offer hardly any interest on your savings, so you could say its similar to being robbed by the government leaving everything in the bank.
Do not feel ashamed for this, we are all learning and its freaking gold man! It has value, its low risk, its affordable for a begginer and someone who is workig class like myself and it holds its value!!
£70 for 1g gold x 31 troy gram which is 1oz = £2170..........price if 1 oz bar £1553 u are losing approx £600 buying the smaller gram bars can someone explain this

BBP, Atkinsons, HGM, Baird, Chards all very reputable, check out your local area incase there is a local coin shop or dealer near your area.
I highly agree, everyone of us can afford one -two grams of gold per paycheck.
no you can't ; it is a very expensive way to buy gold or to invest.
Hey I'm 15 and have made myself up to around 1600usd or around 1200 british pounds from buying and selling computer parts and wanted to save a bit of that money from inflation. Would you recommend buying a 5 gram gold bar or a 1 gram bar to start off with?
Hi Antek, we'll done you! if it was me I would probably go 5g as you will still have plenty left.
@@TangibleLife Ok thanks did decide on a 10oz silver bar from 9 fine mint instead since I found a coupon code and didn't pay too much over spot. I will most likely buy some gold though in the future.
My brother see something he likes he automatically buys it makes Christmas shopping a bit of a pain.
I am thinking about purchasing these for Christmas. Hoping he's not insulted
I think this would be an interesting gift for sure.
I have a couple grams of gold, just remember if you're not getting a decently premium bar you're just gonna get spot back. Also remember you're gonna need 31 x 1g bars and 1.5 grains to hit a troy ounce.
How about quarter sovereigns? 2g for decent entry prices
I bought a 5 gram bar from Perth Mint.
I want more.
Nice bars, nice mint good job
And think about this, 32 of these you get an ounce so just slowly build up
absolutely..and when you consider what people waste $50 on every month
I quit smoking after 18 years for a couple months now. I spent over 200 a month on cigarettes. Imagine if I had bought a gram a gold a month instead.
I bought 2 one gram gold bars as that is what I could afford but I also buy silver, mostly junk silver.
When the silver goes up a decent amount I sell it and buy Gold.
@@TangibleLife you pay a premium twice, it is very silly
I think it is okay to have small amounts of gold as they would be far more useful it times were hard and you needed to use your gold for barter or to buy things... I started off buying only 1 ounce gold pieces but then I realized it was pretty limiting so I got some packs of 1/10th ounce mini bars... they are so cute to look at also. A variety seems more sensible to me. I would not buy bigger than 1 ounce gold pieces myself... I also have quite a few of the quarter ounce. I am not sure how big those 1 gram bars are as I have never seen one.
it would be nice if apmex had a program where you could buy 1 gram at a time and if you keep them and retain in their package and show recipt then you can exchange 31 of them for 1 oz piece of gold and then accumulate enough of those and exchange for 1 piece of another gold
but they dont
Isn't 1 gram of gold higher priced? So after buying 32 grams or so, the cost of one ounce, have I over paid?
Guess I should watch the video, before asking the question he answers almost immediately lol....im gonna leave this up as a lesson to all
Yes a little over paid but you can sell off easier and its easier to accumulate if you can't afford 1oz .
I love Gram Gold Bar!
not everyone is rich enough to buy large bars thats why some buy 1 gram
Nothing wrong with 1g Gold bars.. far worse things to buy.
When you sell it you get the premium back unless you go to pawn shop ,,,, i would sell on ebay £1 selling fee promotion and will sell for £60 £65
Are the 1 gram gold bars the best long term investment for high profit/return when selling in the future? What do you think their potential value would be in 5-10 yard time compared to other forms of gold?
I think 1g is good but you have to remember its only 1g and you will need to keep going (stacking) consistently to build a worth while stack of wealth for a 10 year time-frame (every month minimum)
@@TangibleLife yeah. My goal is 50 - 1 gram gold maple leafs. Got 2 so far. Larger gold too. But I think having a oz 30-50 1gram gold pieces are great. If you ever need extra money for an emergency night not need to sell a full oz. just grab a few grams and got a couple hundred $$
@@BlizzardPeak you made a great start. Yes a mix of smaller and larger gold I think is sensible when it comes to liquidation.
What was the answer to this question
They fit nice in a christmas card. So yes.
I just want to hold physical gold bar lol
What’s the best way to stock them ?
stock or stack?
Gold bar of gold britania/soverign?
I would say the staple should be 1oz every 6/7 weeks
No, don't buy less than 2.5 grams at a time, If you can't afford that then buy silver.
I feel like the smaller Bars would be more useful in a crisis. Especially for things like gas and groceries.
Good advice
They are just to small for me . I have two 2.5 and one 5 G . I also have a 1/4 Oz gold coin .
Where do u buy them?
Just like credit the more you have the more financial you are
Yes well said.
With all the counterfeits out there I test all of my gold I figure at some point someone is going to take it out of its package.
If you take them out of packaging and try to sell them to dealers they'll probably try to charge you an assaying fee too.
where can i buy it
First time buying? probably somewhere like Apmex if in the USA.
Getting premium back? Where?? All the dealers pay spot.
Well of course, your not going to get anything if you sell when spot price is much lower than the price you paid, but the whole point is your selling it back in the short term, physical Gold should be a long term investment. If you want to take a risk and make something in the short term on the performance of Gold then trade Gold stocks.

I just buy pre owned from bullion by post
Good idea, you do save a serious amount of premium doing that. I found that as I got more confident stacking Gold, I'm happier buying it in any form to add to the stack. I understand why new stackers prefer branded and sealed.
Hi sir 2g price details sir
where do you sell any gold you have?
FB, eBay, Gumtree
In my opinion they are a waste of time let’s say gold is at $74 for 1 gram you got 5 1 gram bars and that’s $370 dollars you could’ve sent on something bigger
My volume up and I cant even hear the video 😥
1 gram of gold is approximately $57.00. So if you think you could sell these for a bit more. Then buying 1 gram gold is worth it.
Iv decided after most of my funds in crypto I mite get some gold.
I don't blame you, never have all your eggs in one basket.
In my town the power and internet went down for a few hours I thought how would I get my crypto .... then thought gold
Is saving money in gold is better than saving money at bank?
I like to have a bit of both. Put it this way - inflation is at 6.2% in the USA and banks offer hardly any interest on your savings, so you could say its similar to being robbed by the government leaving everything in the bank.
Buy a little gold every pay day
The answer is yes
a PAMP Gram cost me $100.00 usd in states, CAN you get grams cheaper in UK, WE CAN MAIL
in UK at the moment its about $75 per gram, so you are a bit over, is there a shortage in USA
I get it but it I just feel. Like I'm gonna get ripped off
Why?
you will lose
Why are you speaking 🗣️ in a whisper?
Turn your volume up😄
Pamp is the best brand
Yes I do like PAMP but if I can pick up others from trusted sources I'm happy too.
Yes kind correct like i usually by pamp but sometimes i ask for perth mint Australia
Perth Mint Australia, can’t go wrong, the government controls them like everything else here
And the most Chinese fakes.
Should I even own gold I personally own a lot of gold
Good for you.. What do you stack mostly?
Are they making fake ones of these yet?
of course
I bought my first 5 grams 😅
I'm based in the UK btw
Came to this video after a few gold sellers made me feel ashamed for asking for a 1g
Hi, please explain? you went to a shop and asked for 1g gold bar and they were rude?
Do not feel ashamed for this, we are all learning and its freaking gold man! It has value, its low risk, its affordable for a begginer and someone who is workig class like myself and it holds its value!!
50 pounds pounds
£70 for 1g gold x 31 troy gram which is 1oz = £2170..........price if 1 oz bar £1553 u are losing approx £600 buying the smaller gram bars
can someone explain this
yes there is generally a higher production cost on small gold - it costs more to produce a 1g gold bar product than a 1oz hence the premium.
