Should You Buy 1oz Gold or Fractional Gold? Coin Shops Answer!

[@tuntavernstacker5422]

Great video SS. My LCS (Michigan) will buy fractional gold at spot +1% and 1 oz. gold at spot. That being said, my purchased gold is for wealth preservation (58 y.o), and I do have fractional gold. Gold is not to be bought and sold as you will lose the premiums (In the short term) that you originally paid at the LCS. Hold onto the investment as a part of a diversified blended portfolio and you will do fine over the long term. Life is good!......

[@richardcontinijr9661]

One thing to consider with fractional gold is that if you sell it the market for potential buyers is larger. You'll find more individuals that can afford to buy your 1/4 oz coin over a 1 oz coin. I personally like pre 33, gold buffalos and 20 Francs.

[@dane3038]

This assumes you have a market. Most people only have the LCS and they will give you spot . A 10th oz is a fool's purchase. I don't care what these guys say over the phone, I've seen what they pay wholesale. They are only giving you spot. Remember, for every $100 the spot of gold goes up, your 10th goes up $10. How high does gold have to go before you break even against that premium? The 10th is a way for the Bullion Dealers to take advantage of poor, desperate stupid people. That's why so many don't make a 1/4oz. They know you can't afford the full oz and want to force you into the 10th.

[@kylerkopter]

Since I literally just started stacking gold & don't have but a couple fractional pieces to my portfolio, it's the best option for me at this point! I really appreciate you Silver seeker breaking this down like that. Before my recent purchase of my 1/10th fractional, I ran all the numbers just as you did but I didn't come up with a chart & percentages like you showed! I however knew before purchasing that I would be paying a higher premium. Just getting started so once I get a few pieces under my belt I will most likely start saving for the whoppers! Thanks for a great video & breaking it down like that! Awesome info!

[@chadwolfeschledgelsteinhau9697]

You got gold so go for silver

[@USAFraimius]

An important part of saving and investing is making it a habit. If you wouldn't actually save up for a full ounce on schedule, it may be better to regularly buy fractional gold and stick to a plan.

[@jdb2722]

Gold Dimes get a lot of hate for premiums but if you buy a 1/10 gold eagle while it’s on sale and spot has dipped and then sell it 2 weeks later while prices are up, you will make a small amount of money on each piece. This is assuming you use cash or echeck to buy it.

[@pifs-TM]

In my experience most coin shops I’ve been to have checked the current selling prices and typically I would get more for fractional because they are easier to sell and they get more premium when they sell. Great video!

[@SilverSurferCoins]

I prefer to save up the money to buy the 1oz instead of paying the high premiums on fractional. Great video!

[@westtexasprepper]

I agree. Easier to get back the premium that way. I purchase 1 oz. sovereign coins, lowest premium!

[@ThePaPappy]

I see the doomer's side to the argument too. In Venezuela they are shaving off bits of gold and silver to pay for needed items. I can trade with a 1/10 or a gram easier than with a 1 oz. , just as many people prefer to buy 90% Constitutional dimes and quarters in case SHTF. Also if prices increase with inflation, wouldn't the extra premium get negated by the increase in goods ? Not sure.

[@westtexasprepper]

@@ThePaPappy "Gold is the money of kings, silver the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves" Norm Franz For me, I like gold as a better storage of money/savings/wealth.

@@westtexasprepper No argument there, everyone has a different approach. Some with limited capital invest in silver to convert to gold . Some to use for barter.

That's true, but the 1/10 oz AGE I bought before March 2020 were around 190 dollars and they are around 220 now. That is with almost the same spot price. People want the small stuff because that is all they can afford so the premiums go up higher over time. If gold were to shoot up in price 1oz coin will be out of reach for normal people even trying to save up. I made more money on 1/10 oz coins then I would have with 1oz coins. I'm very happy I bought fractional.

[@tommystacker3286]

What am I missing? Doesn’t it make sense to stack gold by the oz. (lower premiums)- and stack silver for your need of fractional in the event of SHTF? In other words, if you have silver, why would you need fraction gold for SHTF smaller amount purchases?

[@Scotty86doo]

Diversity, think of a 1/10th gold eagle as a $100 bill in terms of USD, where a 1oz Silver Eagle is like a $10. If you walk around with a "$1000" Bill it would be alot harder to make change for it. You can also Hide the same value of gold as silver alot easier as well as only take 1/10th out at a time so your not getting robbed. Also By Diversifying your not playing all your "egg" in just 1 metal your getting benefits of both.

[@mojavegold-]

For a lot of people, buying 1ozT gold coins is quite a large financial investment - but it still makes sense to have some gold in a SHTF scenario, if just to limit weight. A standard 7.62mm ammo can will hold around $US 24,000 in silver at today's spot price. But it will weigh over 70 pounds. The same ammo can will hold over $US 1.3 million in gold. So - it would be possible to limit the transport weight of the SHTF stack to say 10kg (22 pounds) but still move a lot of wealth around, by mixing some gold into the stack. Buying fractional vs whole ounce coins or bars justs helps some people get into the game more easily.

In my experience shops only pay spot for the 1/10 ounce, at least here San Diego. I shopped the prices about 3 years ago and again just a couple of days ago. It was the same, no premium for fractional AGE's. Looking forward to seeing what shops in other areas say. Cheers!

[@jduff59]

I stacked 1/4th eagles when they were cheap. With their bloated premiums, I switched to Sovereigns, Britannias and Perth Mint 1/4ths. Stacking is about the acquisition of PM's at the lowest cost-per-ounce. Eagles no longer fit that criteria for me. Just my 2 cents. But if I see an Eagle for a great price - I'll grab it. I understand why people stack fractionals, as trying to save up for a big coin doesn't always work out - other stuff happens and that money disappears before you get your 1850-1900 saved up.

I think it is a good idea to keep some fractional gold in the "stack" - but I would suggest trying to avoid paying the higher premiums if one were able to afford full ounce bars or coins. I have some 1/10 ozT Eagles and Krugerands that I bought on "one ounce gold at spot for first-time customer" deals. Ordering an oz of gold, each time I was delivered a set of ten 1/10 ozT coins. Happy, happy. My daughter even has one of the little tenth oz Eagles displayed in a treasure chest in her fish tank... (edited for spelling)

Thanks for the video Silver Seeker. Sad that those shops pay the same spot/melt for fractional as full 1oz. Hopefully your next video shows that not all shops are like that!!!

[@freeman7296]

I love having lots of fractionals in gold eagles...but I had a source to buy 1/10 oz gold eagles at spot gold so the choice was easy. when I did buy fractionals from a coin dealer - the premiums always factored in...although I haven't bought gold coins from a coin shop in a few years...looks like premiums are pretty steep these days. the best anyone can do is develop a relationship with someone in the resale market. I started in watches back in the early 90s and that spread to gold and silver - so many relationships got me to a place that I can buy almost any gold at the spot price of the day - but that is because of years developing relationships with others - jewelers who buy and sell, etc... good way to accumulate that kind of wealth at reasonable prices.

[@katiebailey9180]

Very interesting that the shops you called are buying the different coins at the same price... like you, I would have assumed that they would pay more for the fractional. Something to think about for sure...

[@sccarguy8242]

Very interesting video… I also always assumed that the 1/10 would keep at least some of its premium…. I know it would in the public market, but perhaps not true at the LCS’s….. I also maintain that small gold is easier to sell then large silver. IE between a 1/10 oz of gold VS a 10oz bar of silver the gold would be an easier sale, again in the public market. I also wonder if we start talking about non AGE if the same holds true. A generic OZ is $1850’ish, while a generic 1/10 is $200’ish your still paying a premium but it’s much smaller.

[@cristinam3881]

Thank you silver seeker, that was extremely helpful!

[@partypickle3682]

As always, great informational video! However, there is one thing that I would like to add that I believe should take into consideration. Given the caveat that the price of gold does not spike suddenly, what about the option to flip. What I mean is that an individual could buy 10 1/10oz pieces at the higher premiums. Then, said individual could sell them at the aforementioned price point, buy the full ounce and then have the premium funds left over to invest into something else. Just some food for thought.

[@Mauitaoist]

Maybe a good strategy is to buy 24 carat pure gold when you're buying fractional so you're going to get spot for sure and then when you go to buy the Eagles save up for 1 oz coins

It’s very true and a smart move you can go to pawn shop buy go jewelry and you get it for less what you pay for gold coins

i add a small twist to this - i do my best to purchase placer gold in as 'fine' (non specimen) a size as possible and then refine it 999 myself into small buttons that can easily be bartered (squash stamp to the nearest tenth of a gram) - usually pick it up at about 85% spot which eliminates premiums - do it at very small scale, so i'm not exactly getting rich but i enjoy the process and it adds to the stack without premiums

Why would you purify natural gold when you are purchasing it? Leave it alone unless the SHTF, you get 24k spot for it before you purify and smelt it. Any pieces over .3 of a gram you get a nice premium. You actually lose money for no reason when you smelt it. I only purify and smelt gold under 200 mesh that I prospect myself anything bigger is going to get you 24k spot. I do think buying natural gold is the best deal around and you can even find it at below 24k spot when buying over an ounce at a time.

I am a newb to stacking. I see two basic scenarios. 1. For the stacker who stacks for the potential economic collapse, diversify. Have some Constitutional (junk) silver, ASEs and 1 oz. gold.

I really can't afford 1 ounce gold coins at this time and I don't want to save up for 2 or 3 months to get them. I purchase 1/4 ounce coins mostly and some 1/10 depending on my budget at the time. Aside from the the barter potential of fractional gold, I believe gold spot is going to be much higher a few years from now. That would make my fractional gold even easier to purchase than 1 ounce coins. If your dealer sample is reflective of most LCSs and they are paying the same amounts for gold, it might make sense to purchase lower premium gold coins like the Britannias, the Perth Mints, and the Phiharmonics than it is to buy US Mint coins and to a lesser extent, Maple Leafs. Nevertheless, I am mostly buying Maple Leafs and Eagles because my wife is Canadian and I want her to be able to sell them easily should I exit the world before she does.

None of that I buy for spot and sell at 40% premium like some shops are doing on silver now :(

I think some of it depends on the state you live in. In certain states the purchaser has to hold the silver/gold for 30 days before they can sell it.

🔴 One thing that y'all might not have considered: the space you have available in your box in a private vault. If you have a small box and space is a concern, a larger coin will more efficiently fill that space, assuming you're keeping coins in capsules. So if you've got a box in the Das Safe private vault in Austria and you're paying €500 a year for it, you want to make sure you're getting your money's worth by using that space as efficiently as possible.

I dont think theres any on youtube and you're the best at those kinds of videos. I think the #1 complaint about bars by the gram or fractional coins is the premium but how much is retained in the full circle the smaller you get is what im most curious about

[@dougwagoner2620]

I enjoyed this video seeker I'm always learning something on your channel

[@ivancanchola6132]

Good video and good info Seeker.. I'm traying to buy my first gold coin but I don't know whats better to buy from this coins. A 1/4 oz maple or Eagle or 10 gold pesos or 20 gold francs or should I just keep saving for a 1/2 oz or 1 oz gold coin??

[@Mauitaoist]

Everybody should have a few quarter oz to start out with then you've got some fractional then work your way up to have some full ounces once you get your feet underneath you

[@StackerJames]

20 gold francs are the way to go IMO. Premiums are so low relative to other fractional options.

[@FirstLast-yn2wo]

Great job on the excel file and the analysis

[@shilver101]

Going to a coin show this weekend and have that question in mind. I was looking to pick up at least 2.5-3 oz of gold gonna be hard to do if i just buy fractional

[@RayTango1984]

I purchase a couple grams a month, I know I’m probably paying way more on the premium per ounce buts grams are budget friendly

[@Mauitaoist]

A minimum I ever buy is a quarter ounce. Generally I buy half ounce. If the markets going up I'll buy a half ounce or quarter ounce cuz I don't want to fomo on the price going out of control but I think from now on when the price goes sideways I'll just save my money for 1 oz coins

[@melsinTN]

Just starting my fractional gold this year. Love this vid. Would love your opinion on the Maple fractional or the Panda since they carry a lower premium.

[@justinholland9844]

Maples yes, Pandas no.

[@darinhahs1430]

Great video you got a new sub here. Keep up the great content.

[@erattic1]

looking forward to that video.

[@brandongant9343]

If it was my guess it would have to be somewhere down near Shawnee land because there isn’t many paces in actual Winchester like this…this is def somewhere heading towards capon bridge and gore has to be if it’s winchester

[@sccarguy8242]

Here is another video idea for you seeker…. What would most people prefer on trade, a gold back bill. Or a grain, 1/10 oz of gold bar (in bill or card form)…. Basically really small fractional gold or gold backs which wins??

[@DrMatey215]

The online dealers and on eBay charge outrageous premiums over spot for all sizes. What gets me is when they claim $49 over spot but add in credit card fees, it's actually $170-$200 per oz over spot. If you sell your gold on eBay, they charge you a 13% premium, so your $2,000 ounce of gold = $1740 net, now how can you make money doing that?

[@SilverSeeker]

Don't use eBay for one lol but if you're buying long term as a hedge you'll be okay. Just shop around for best prices like always.

[@Silverado_UK]

I understand this calculations completely. What I don’t get is the fact that whoever wants to re-sell a specific coin, they would include a premium they have paid surely. Otherwise you would see a lot of cheap 1/10 oz of gold

[@Fanta....]

I guess these shops are banking on people being desperate when they come in trying to sell their tenth ouncers and will take whatever they can get.

[@goldcicvibefel7628]

Great breakdown!

[@markadkins9290]

Great stuff!

[@donaldinnewmexico]

Hi, Surfer. I am putting a date set together of the Type2 AGE in 1/10 oz Pr & Bu. in 2025, I will have an ounce of them. I am not stacking silver now. I am still stacking frac gold. I need 4 more Dos Pesos coins to make an ounce of gold. It takes 21 Dos Pesos coins to make an ounce of gold. I will then go for an ounce in Dos & Medios coins. I bought capsules for my Dos Pesos coins, but I took them back out and put them in a single flip. I like the looks of a pile of gold coins. *TYU*

[@SilverHeist]

Surprising that the two stores won’t pay more for ten 1/10 than one one oz. Because they will sell the 10 small ones for more.

[@coolcataye]

Awesome video!

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

what I do is buy 1 1/10th a month and if I do ever need to sell its going to be sold private party so I will get a bit of if not all the premium back.

[@MrAllan9]

In a SHTF scenario the fractional gold and silver is better for trade or barter.

[@Kick_Rocks_]

Shop by me charges a 5% premium on all weights. So fractional is actually a good deal thru him.

[@SilverSeeker]

on 1/10th Eagles? wow that's incredible that's below what the U.S. Mint sells to Authorized Dealers for!

[@saltymemesmith]

Another good video, thank Bro!!

[@astralclub5964]

I’ve always bought 1oz or 1/2 oz gold. I just can’t justify those higher fractional premium percentages. If you’re money is short, buy silver!

[@gerardramirez6320]

Love Gold ❤️.

[@coloradokid8321]

Look forward to you next call to dealer (to see what they will give you for 1/10 oz)!

[@bigfootstacker7285]

Is funny though, I don't balk at the 15 percent (ish) premium I pay for each silver round I buy because it's only a few dollars at a time, but I cringe when I pay the premium on small denomination gold because it comes at you about 80 times faster.
