Well these are gold backs. My neighbor removed some large metal items from my yard and I paid him in GOLD. He really liked getting the Five $1 goldbacks I gave him-just a gift for his helpfulness. (I paid too much-under $7 each x 5=$35) I think the Goldbacks are a great introduction for the general public about gold. My Neighbor agreed he had never been paid in gold before from anyone else. LOL

[@Dxn6alc03Belod7m1o]

Just be careful who you let know you have precious metals. Your neighbour may be alright, but he may mention it to someone who isn't. I have a policy that I don't tell anyone about my stacking who could ever find out where I live. Other than my home insurance company, of course. I usually order online and have it delivered to my PO Box. Because you never know. On Silver Dragons, one of Harry's customers who I read showed off his stack and obviously gave away too much other info about himself a year ago on the channel was just robbed just after he moved into a new house. He hadn't set up his security camera system. I guess much of what was stolen was fortunately covered by his insurance---but his rates have now gone up and worse, he and his family feel violated. Plus thieves often come back to the same home a couple months later--after everything has been replaced. I always have multiple cameras and an alarm on every door and window. In my next place, I'm going to have a redundant (extra) system in case one goes down the other will still, hopefully, be running.

Astronomical premiums, very limited market acceptance, and my greatest concern, no way to verify the gold content or purity. I also dislike bars, particularly the smaller ones, due to the proliferation of counterfeits. Sadly, many will buy these for their stack/purchase as gifts, and may only learn years later they are worthless.

[@MK-100x]

1/4 oz gold eagles still have the same cost as 20 silver eagles, exactly as it did going back to 2018 (when I started alternating between the two). In 2018, it was about $400 for 20 silver eagles or 1/4 oz gold eagle. Today its about $750 for 20 silver eagles or 1/4 oz gold eagle. So with that in mind, I’m still ok buying the 1/4 oz gold eagles since they still run the same cost as 20 silver eagles. The only difference is that I cant buy as much as I used to.

[@michaellittle1010]

I find the cheapest way to get fractional gold with low premiums is buying vintage foreign coins. They may not bring the best resale price, but they do add up and will sell. Plus they are beautiful artifacts from a different time and place. British Sovereigns, French or Swiss 20 Francs are some of the most popular but there are many more.

"This is the Vreneli version of the 20 Swiss Francs gold coin. This gold coin is dated from 1897 to 1935, and then 1947 and 1949. Most of these coins are dated from 1935, these are bound to be restrikes, as in 1945-7, over 20 million of these coins were restruck during this period. The restruck coins feature the mint marks 'L' to the left of date and 'B' to the right of it."

[@jaybarr3307]

I think you made a good case for your positions. However, I've been getting 1/10th gold Eagles for 7% and even less than you quoted from the Krugs and Maples so I'm comfortable with that. Agree that Goldbacks are a poor way to stack gold in quantity but they are a great way to have gold that is highly divisible. I think the lower 1 Gold back denomination makes infinitely more sense than the higher denominations. I am a believer in having a good qty of divisible, more easily traded, fractional gold. Sure, I have many 1-ounce pieces, it was all I bought for years. Now, I buy one-tenth ounce sizes and yeah some one-Goldback denominations because I want that tradability. I spend many Goldbacks but I do keep 100 of them in my perma-stack too. If the economy ever really tanks, I think people with fractional will be glad they have it. An ounce of gold is to expensive to be spendable today, imagine when it's worth $3K plus.

Pre33 gold is beautiful and a great option currently. I know I'm buying it since the premiums haven't vanished completely they're a lot lower than they were not long ago. You can get some really nice coins for not much over spot
