This is first video of yours I have watched, and I must say it was very enjoyable! I have never imagined opening mine up, so watching you cut it open was giving me anxiety yet was also enjoyable.
I rip open my gold and platinum just to play with it 😂😂 I tell myself, it's because I want to check the specific gravity, as a well educated person... but I never do I just play with it watching TV 😅
It's indeed a very special feeling in a digital and plastic world to hold something that has been valuable throughout humanity's existence! Thanks for commenting friend 👍
Well how much gold do you have? You might as well just open it and enjoy it hehe don’t worry you’ll only lose a couple bucks on it, gold is still gold! I always open my first examples of a piece, and the rest I leave in assay. I feel like I have the right to enjoy my bullion! Lol
MetalsGear course you can open it... you do not reduce any value. because when you go to sell it, they will open it for inspection... so open it, it doesn't matter if the package is open or factory closed. I have asked a large dealer in England and they told me that you do not reduce the value. I don't know who is telling you this... but I have asked and you do not reduce any value... whether it is gold or silver. unless you have been told by 3-5 stores where you live that the open package will reduce the price you will sell it for
@skincarewiththanos very true at the time I wrote this I only had 1 ounce of gold and 300 oz of silver. Today May 27 2023 I have 1,165 ounces of silver and 4.5 ounces of gold. I definitely have touched my gold
Interesting that for this video you opened it. Nice bars, hope someday in the future I also can own some Gold Bars with my limited budget 😅 Gave the channel a Sub. 👍 Greetings from the Netherlands
@@preciousmetalswithleif8939 I totally understand about touching it 😁 But yeah, an opened package is like 20 or 30 Euro of a potential selling value right ? 😅 But hey, when the price of Gold rises again it's no longer an issue 😉
I try not to worry too much about this value, hopefully the gold and silver will stay with my family for decades as a small insurance against harsher times 😁 I wish I was as light hearted about my stock portfolio as well.... At least my metals serve as mental rehab from that.
@@preciousmetalswithleif8939 Totally with you on the value part 😀 LOL ! I'm interested in stocks, done it in the past... still doing it now, but I'm not the person for it. To stick with every development, news etc. So that's why I limit it to a few hundred bucks.... just to keep mentally sane (and my finances) 😂
@@silverinternational101 I know the feeling... I've concluded the market is not the right place for me many times but still I'm always back 😂 My gold and silver is merely a few percent of my total portfolio yet it gives me more enjoyment than all stocks ten times the value.

Joseph A tampering with the packaging does not change anything... if you go to sell a bar they will open it this way and that way to see if it is 999.9% gold and if it is real. inside the package you can't tell if what you bought is 1000% real it is wrong for someone to buy gold and not open it to hold this real gold in his hands ... if I am only looking at it from a plastic package, there is no reason to buy a gold bar ...
@@preciousmetalswithleif8939 hi from skg greece and you do very well and open them ... they have no value .. I would not buy a gold bar just to see it from a plastic package .. I want to open it and hold this bar in my hands and see how beautiful is she . it does not lose any value if the package is opened. when someone goes to sell it, the package will have to be opened to see if it is a real 999.9 gold bar. so what is the reason not to open to her? :) it has hard plastic and the packaging is bad, really such a big company can't take out a soft plastic one.. so you can put it back in its packaging. if we don't play with these sticks in our hands, I am of the opinion that there is no need to buy gold, just to look at them from the plastic packaging... 🙂 Am I not right in what I say? have you been told by gold dealers in England that you reduce the gold bar if the packaging is open? nice video
@@preciousmetalswithleif8939 valcambi swiss company has really crappy packaging on their sticks, very thick plastic that is hard to cut... and the package breaks the company should change this
Thank you! To be fair I still store in the assay, it's easier to keep track of them that way 😄 I understand it will not remedy the value but with a little tape on the cut the assay works very well for keeping the little bar secure in the stack.
These are one of the most popular bullion producers in the world so almost any gold retailer should offer these I’m sure 😁 I personally got it at europabullion.
It is just different products. They take a little extra money for the hologram so if someone wants a beautiful bar and pay a little extra they can buy that. But if just getting the gold as cheap as possible, these simpler bars are also available.
How is the holograms put on the metal? I seen hologram silver coins and gold bars. Is it painted on? I been thinking about getting a holographic gold bar and silver eagle coin.
Hello! The paper inside the plastic assay box is the certificate I guess. And it does have the serial number of the bar printed on it. I got nothing additional to what you see in the video 🙂
@@preciousmetalswithleif8939 Thank you very much for your reply. I'm seeing those bars with engraved back, also sister company Heraeus has their own bars in gray packaging as well. Any of those is good purchase.
All those images and not one of the holographic kinegram??? I'd like to make a pair of earrings out of two 2-gram bars but the wife says gold does not go well with her wardrobe. 😎
Just got the same one and was wondering if there are any fakes circulating out there or if this gold comes with any certificate of authenticity or if the packaging with the serial number alone suffice?
Sadly there is absolutely fakes out there. A serial number is easy to copy for a faker so it can be worth your while doing some basic tests at home or take it to a jeweller or coin shop to verify 🙂
Thanks for the comment! Personally I find the online dealer landscape in Europe a bit confusing due to so many shipping rules etc, so I personally just go with europabullion even though they sometimes don’t have the lowest price. They’ve always been quick to ship and that’s my main concern.
Very nice, I just got my first order of pure in. Was lookin for 1 oz of Sunshine but they were all sold out. I refreshed a few times and eventually found 2 20g bars 1 Sunshine and 1 Valcambi Liberty(merika lol). I think the Aussie gold looks good but I need to see how my 2 20gs pure turn out, from the pics so far my favorite print is the New Sunshine What do you think is more apealing for assayers or wholesalers, Polished/pressed bars/coins or button style? Going to binge some of your vids now thanks!
Sounds like an awesome haul my dude! 👍 To be fair I don’t think there is much preference either way. The way I see it everything is substance times trust. So premium/weight first and manufacturer second. Design is just to have a good time while stacking 😁
@@preciousmetalswithleif8939 Thanks B. I totally agree with it being all the same in the end but as you said it 'seems' more apealing to me now that I got a weighty little two stack :]. Now that I got some trust in JM bullion im going to look into getting a few large bars of silver or that 1 os of that Au goodness.
As i stated in your previous video: We need a bigger goldBAR. Also i am a little dissapointed in the bottom bruised. Out of ever precius metal i own the one that i fondles the most is still the kreuger. Great video as always
So it’s best to take them out the packet, even though they lose value? Just to make sure it’s ten grams , when the coin shops tells me not to open them. Both packets he weighs in front of me in the shop both were 16.1 not sure what to make of these packets.

Thank you for posting this. If you handle gold without gloves what do you recommend to clean them with?
Gold is so noble that fingerprints won't really do any damage. Some mild soap and water should do the trick for fingerprints 👍
@@preciousmetalswithleif8939 Awesome, thank you for the quick reply.
I bought a couple of these and I like the size for 10 grams; I usually just leave my bars in the assay card, don't like to tamper with them.

which is better , Valcambi or Argor ? What manufacturer do you think has the most trust ?

I like the size of the valcambi better
The proportions are a little bit strange indeed

@@siegfried-karlheinzvonsilb2840 sounds like we got the same weight then! 😁
EDIT: 13 grams including packaging, that is!

Thank you!
What did it weigh in the package 16.1
I didn’t weigh it in the package, it doesn’t mean anything as it would too easily be faked.
So it’s best to take them out the packet, even though they lose value? Just to make sure it’s ten grams , when the coin shops tells me not to open them. Both packets he weighs in front of me in the shop both were 16.1 not sure what to make of these packets.
Does it devalue it to open it and if so by how much?
Yes. It will never go under spot price but it will lose a chunk of premium.
I prefer the thicker bar. Thin bars look so fragile.
I too prefer more gold over less gold 😎
It's a much thinner plastic, I was kinda surprised.
Lovely gold bar!!!
Kind of wish that the back had something on it other than that Its a neat looking bar
