Gold Coins or Gold Bars? Is one better over another and why? In this video we explore which might be best for you.
I stack silver and gold to hedge against our debt-fueled, fiat currency-based economy that I am convinced is in deep trouble. Consider stacking silver and gold yourself to help you build and preserve wealth. And thank you for watching Campbell’s Coins!

As someone who worked with refiners, I always looked at all precious metals at their scrap value.. when everything goes to hell in a basket, I don't feel that anyone will care whether your one ounce of gold is considered to be a collector piece verses just one plain ounce of gold. The truth is, gold is gold, it's an element on the chart, there is no finer 24k gold over other 24k gold. Remember, gold is gold, buy it at the best price, not on collectibility.

@CampbellsCoins Жыл бұрын

So you're only getting gold when everything goes to hell? I think people can do both. There will be a moment when things are bad. There will be times like now where people see collectibility. Thanks for your input!

@jimmarlo363 Жыл бұрын

@@CampbellsCoins I respect your opinion. There's nothing wrong with collecting gold or silver coins for investment. I agree it's another way to diversify your assets. I suppose my opinion stems from dealing with refiners over the years who asseyed the precious metal scrap that I sent them. I do know this however, with the gold and silver coins that are in the safe, if in the event of a fire where the heat was such they all melted down into one lump...I could send that lump to the refiner who would pay me the market value of the melted gold or silver coins, not the collectability, why? Because gold is gold and silver is silver and that's all that I have. Just my opinion only.

Everything has already gone to hell. Sure it can get worse. The thing is, value = value. There will *always* be higher demand for rare things than common things, even if we all go full Mad Max. Since gold has no practical use in a SHTF scenario, it is purely a matter of perceived value. If i am trading you gold for 'hydro' in our Mad Max future, I will give you more for a rare form than for a common form.

hands down, the coins are better if you are moving large amounts on money between countries legally. when you go threw the borders the law states that you only have to declare the face value of the coins/ currency that you hold. so a coin wait in gold may be 2 grand so say 5 1oz gold bars about 10k is the limit when moving threw countries, the Gold coins you can carry a few of them when the 1 oz face value of the gold coin is 5 bucks. pretty funny system.

I switched to the Britannia in both Gold and Silver versions. The security features are top quality and the retail prices are the lowest of all popular bullion coins, sometimes just as affordable as bars. The 100 gram Swiss bars shown here are choice. I'd gladly trade in Silver towards something like that, if and when the ration tightens up. It's a good way for a stacker to get into a bigger Gold bar.

Couple corrections: 1. More coins (not volume but individual SKUs) are produced by private Mints than government Mints. For example, Scottsdale Mint strikes coins for over 20 government central banks. 2. Coin premium is higher than bar premium due to the fact that there is a royalty paid to the government or issuing bank of coins.

It depends on your objective and the price to spot you can get. Are you a collector , store of value, trader, monetary reset prepper? I like to keep 10% of my net worth in gold/silver and never sell. Bars at 2-4% above spot is fine. No need for 15%+ premium for coins. Value of coin gets inflated away and if dollar fails, 1 oz coin isn't going to be worth anymore than 1 oz bar , with respect to premium paid.

I do have a few other coins but mostly those mentioned above . As far as bars I only have a few small fractional 5gram 10 gram bars but usually I stay away from gold bars . Even though I’m saving up for a 10oz Johnson Matthey pressed bar that my LCS is holding on for me . But that 10oz bar savings usually gets dipped into for 1oz gold coins on the dip of the spot market. Great topic thanks for the video great job .

From my own analysis living in Canada: buy 9999 Maples. The dealers I've found price them the same as bars from the mint, and will only buy them for spot. Even first edition Maples (1979) are still only worth spot. There's two reasons to buy Maples though: 1) they are for sure exempt from capital gains tax, at least for now, and 2) there's a chance the mint discontinues them and they might become a collectors item in the future. Bars will always only be worth spot though, in my opinion. Just my 2c.

Royal mint UK charges about 8% premium on gold bullion coins I think. They certainly are art pieces. I worked out since gold has increased 18% over the past 6 mnths or so people would make 10% over 6 months. That's better than UK pension funds which, if you dont manage them will gain a measly 6% a year on average! Sell privately on forums or online marketplaces and you can get some of the premium back of course too. More money to be made with bars but 3 or 4% less profit for the privilege of owning historic art and the inspiration to learn what the art means is worth it for the knowlege alone. You will be making alot more money than using pensions or banks and that money is their money until you draw it out... And it is taxed (gold or currency isnt). If they will let you draw it out that is. UK pensions don't give people full access to the funds. Banks will ask loads of questions and get you to fill out loads of forms just to get to your money (which has hardly appreciated at all). Meanwhile, they are likely investing your money and making 30 to 60% returns for themselves! Especially in the past 5 years or so! 😮😄😮

There is usually a premium on minted coins.. it’s my opinion the one ounce is one ounce. So unless you have aspirations of numismatic value/ collectible value which is actually quite rare. Not to mention the fact that in these times of uncertainty minted coins of any nation may not ever be worth more then the price of the bullion. This is what makes a collectible coin either and extremely low production or a minting error where a few get released from the mint.. that’s pretty much it a coin that is neither rare or struck with error will not gain in value other then the price of the metal

I have 8 gold eagles and 2 pamp 1oz bars. I did have more gold but traded it to stack some silver. Love the silver rounds....

The answer is pretty simple, don’t pay too high premium when the selling price is basically the same or only slightly higher.

Gold by the weight #1 to me. Numismatic and jewelry are beautiful but most of the time unrecoverable. They lure you with the sparkle. There is a lot of problems with gold like naked shorting and rip off fees on the way in and out. some of these a holes wont even give you spot.

Great video bud. It’s amazing how stacking interests change over time. My first two ounces of gold I ever bought were 1 oz. bars. I haven’t bought another bar since. I’m all about the coins now, with the only exception being a 1 oz. Engelhard platinum bar I recently purchased. I definitely prefer coins over bars for all of the reasons you listed, with special emphasis on the IRS reason you discussed. Lol.

@CampbellsCoins 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks dude! Yes! That's something a new stacker will find out. Your tastes, interest, strategy will definitely change. I was staunchly against Libertads in the beginning, now I get them. Like I said to Ocean, personally I think people would be better off with coins over bars, but when one takes such a stance, some tend to get butthurt. Those Alphabet bois can f themselves. Question for ya. I know you got that Englehard plat-pussy bar, but will you continue with the bars for platinum or switch to coins like the other metals? Premiums on plat are slightly higher than the gold counterparts.

I am hoping to start buying the 10gm sizes as I know the larger the size the less over spot price.
