16 Small Gold Bullion Items. Good Deals or Total Ripoffs? Goldbacks? Jewelry? Karatbars?

Рет қаралды 53,086

Күн бұрын

This is likely one of the most interesting and important videos I have ever made. This is a comprehensive study of premiums on small gold products. This includes bullion, scrap, jewelry and much more. Let's see which gold you should scoop up for your stack...and which should be left alone. Who will come out on top? Utah Goldback or Karatbar? (or something else!)

Goldbacks look absolutely beautiful. You aren't going to buy 100 ounces worth of gold in them, but you don't need to - the are for trading small amounts so you only need a small amount. The premium you pay on them is pretty understandable for the high production quality.

@Silverpicker 3 жыл бұрын

That is exactly right!

@EliW95 10 ай бұрын

Yes and most of that premium is actually just to manufacture them

Wow! Thank you for this video! I have mostly been buying fractional gold in the 1 gram or less category because of the more attainable upfront cost. I was turned off Goldbacks because they advertise the premium as 70%. I thought it was a rip-off, but I've probably been paying around 70% or MORE for most of the fractional gold I've been buying since college anyway. I'm going to put a premium calculator on my phone and when I get my tax return, I'm buying the lowest-premium 1oz coin I can find and spending the remainder on Goldbacks. No reason to buy gold fingernail clippings at the same or higher premium than goldbacks. Subscribed!

As a plus point, unlike a goldback, you at least stand some hope and chance of reclaiming your premium should you be able to unload you fractional gold slowly on eBay.

@EliW95 10 ай бұрын

Most of that premium is because of the unique manufacturing process. And besides I bet you would pay more than scrap value for a working engine

I've started getting into jewelry a little bit. I've discovered that scrap is a big thing. I haven't gotten into it, but a lot of people are buying lots (like auction lots) of 14k, 10k, etc, of broken up necklaces, rings with gems removed, etc, called scrap. Because of the price it goes for, I have doubts that jewelers are buying it to remake things with.

This is a great video! And yes I did learn some things. I have purchased some goldbacks and think they are the perfect solution for my investment purposes. My best friend thinks I'm crazy and wasting my money. He invests in money market funds, stocks and bonds. But I want nothing to do with any of that. To me that is no different than cash -- it's all fiat currency and isn't really "backed" by anything! I want something I can hold in my hand and don't need an internet connection to access any of it. For the time being, I will continue to invest in goldbacks and recommend others do so as well. But that's just my opinion :)

The Canadian 1 gram gold Maple that comes in packs of 25 is a pretty decent price. Currently on SD Bullion, you can get the 25 pack for $1735, or $69.4/gram, which is just a 13.1% premium. I wouldn't use one of them to buy some eggs and bread, but it is still a pretty cool option.

Interesting and informative for a complete newbie. I'm getting a fistful of goldbacks, one or two with each paycheck, as a way to build up spendable wealth In The Event. I like them because they're well marked, hard to counterfeit, look good and even feel substantial. I'm a little concerned about durability under the conditions experienced by normal currency, but we'll see. I bought some onesies specifically to carry around, fold, crumple, launder, and even char with a torch, just to see. I'm willing to pay the premium because I'm buying more than the gold itself--I'm buying the convenience and reputation.

@danavipuzzles7308 2 жыл бұрын

An important consideration is sellback value and how easy it is to sell back. For most of these items you won't get full spot value when selling them back. I think you'd be lucky to get 80-90% of the spot value for any of them, except perhaps for the coins and bars. In contrast, buying a 1/10th oz gold coin is fairly attainable for most people and you can sell it for its full spot value. In the case of American Gold Eagles, you can often sell it back to dealers for over spot. For those who can't afford a 1/10th oz gold coin, then silver is a better option than gold. You can get 1 ozt generic silver rounds for a reasonable price. You can also get fractional constitutional silver for cheaper, though the premium will be higher than for the rounds. The only gold I would consider of all those in this video would be the goldbacks. The premium on them is high, but not astronomically high. They look great, easy to store, easy to transport, and can potentially be used for barter. I'd consider some jewelry for investment, but only 24K, and only if I could get a good deal on it. Jewelry with less purity could be nice if you want it and enjoy it, but not so much for investment purposes.

@EliW95 10 ай бұрын

Not only that but the Goldback has anti counterfeiting security features that those other products don’t have, as well as the fact that the premiums are the same across all denominations (unlike a 1/10 oz to an ounce of gold coins for instance), not to mention their usability in small transactions

@1redrubberball 3 жыл бұрын

Specious reasoning that you need very small gold to make small transactions. That's what silver is for, or fractional gold. Generally, I wouldn't be interested in 1/10th oz gold and smaller. I wouldn't consider buying any of those 16 "novelties.

@Silverpicker 3 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't call it specious reasoning. Silver is a different metal, and there are pros and cons to using it vs gold. Of course you could use any gold for small transactions, but having very small gold makes it more convenient. This is not a video arguing against large gold or silver. It's simply talking about how small gold offers certain conveniences and benefits and if you're interested in them, these are the pros and cons of what's out there

I prefer to watch for jewelry in any type of place that I can buy it. I have bought some very good pieces in thrift shops, Goodwill, Salvation Army. Also, homeless guys going through dumpsters would sell things after laying them out on a bed sheet on the street corner. And occasionally a flea market or yard sale will turn up something worthwhile. Recently, I sold off gold that I paid about $40 for the grand total of $1,100. That paid for a very nice .44 Special revolver and a few other cool items that I picked up at the same time (and cash for the Missus). One of my most recent gold purchases was a gold ring that cost me $25, which a local dealer told me has about $129 worth of gold in it. I wear that one every day. So I've done best with buying gold jewelery, or even finding it on the street. After all, that batch of gold that I sold was partially found gold. I used to have some gold coins back when I lived in my parents house, but whenever my family ran short of money, they always would make it a point to demand that I give up whatever I had (when the option is "hit the bricks..."). So today, I only have two actual coins and some very small bullion type coins.

It's really great to buy gold jewelry at garage sales and the like. You can really make a ton of money doing that

@@Silverpicker Well, I don't do that often enough to make a lot of money, but I do have a fair supply of gold tucked way that is almost entirely gathered that way. Of course, some of it is gold that I actually found on the streets of New York when I lived there. And at one point, I had some co-workers who were looking to sell their gold to the local Jewelers. I asked them to get a guesstimate from the Jewelers, and then tell me,... And I doubled it. This was when gold was going at $340 - 360 an ounce. I still have most of that tucked away... Somewhere. You see, my biggest problem is, I tend to hide things away in my possessions in places where I hide them... Even from myself.

Thanks for doing all the legwork and putting it online. I see all these items as novelties and a complete waste of money. If you want to make money with precious metals, buy stock in miners or streaming companies. Sure, buy some physical gold/silver but don’t expect to get any sort of return outside of barely keeping pace with inflation over a long period of time.

nice video - I was able to pick up a 1 gram Canadian Maple Leaf for a 12.5% premium. Although do not chase fractional gold that small ever......It was presented to me and I thought the % of premium was decent enough to just add it to the stack. Do you agree?

@Silverpicker 3 жыл бұрын

I have a couple of those and they are quite beautiful. It's definitely more of a novelty, but for 12.5% above spot, it's not too bad at all.

Thanks to your first Goldback Video I was able to start my own collection from UPMA with a free Goldback to boot :) I would like to let you know though they won't ship the 50 Goldback bill to Canada for some odd reason I could not understand but all the other denominations are no problem. Thanks again

That's so strange. They wouldn't tell you why they won't ship that denomination?

@@Silverpicker This is the best answer I could get from them:(In the beginning, we thought it would work to send out parcel packages to Canada. Then we realized that it was not feasible. Hence, sending the 50 is not possible to Canada, nor is the wallet. We truly apologize for this. )
