yea definitely, I did the math and it roughly matches up to the cost of the 1oz bar

why do you prefer coins to the bars? Just curious..

Edit: I even saw some dudes selling same 1oz bar cheaper than Costco (only by like 100 or so), but I think I might prefer the cashback option and putting it on my CC rather than straight cash to someone lol

not a financial advisor so these are just my personal opinions, there are benefits to both

i like coins (not rounds) because it is technically a legal tender backed by the government, its never going to happen where golds value goes to zero but an American Gold Eagle is $50 so in that scenario, I can still use the coin as a $50 tender

but beyond that, it being Goverment backed makes it more difficult to counterfeit because the punishment for selling counterfeit currency is much more severe than selling fake gold bars, coins like AGEs and Maples also has better security features

being backed by the government also makes them more recognizable and easier to sell (due to the reasons above)

just an example when gold and silver were surging at its peak, LCS would rather have coins over bars because they buy bars to send to the refineries to get melted because it doesnt usually sell better than coin but the refineries got overwhelmed that they ran out of money to pay LCS for all the bars being sent to them

coins on the other hands the LCS could buy at 1% under spot and then sell it that same day for over spot because people were lining up to buy em (you also want to tried and avoid melting government backed coins i spossible) , eventually the LCS ran out of money to buy any gold and silver either because of how crazy it got but to me that just made coins a better option, in my mind at least

some coins are also collectible, Mexican Libertads only mints a limited amount of gold and silver coins so they do have a higher premium, for example they didnt mint any gold coins in 2025 at all

and i honestly just like to stack coins better than bars i do like to touch em and play with them while with bars I dont really want to remover them from their assays as thats part of the legitimacy of the bars at least when selling from person to person

and speaking of selling peer to peer, id diversify and get some smaller coins too like 1/10th or 1/4th, it does have a higher premium but if an 1oz of gold does go to say $6k-$7k, that makes it harder to sell too in case of emergencies, but if you have 1/10th coins you can move it easier at $600 a coin that $6,000

i mean that is if i have any or buy gold...

Any suggestions for 5g-10g coins? Im very new to coins/bars. I was looking into as I wanted to make one as a pendant

Also born in the year of the horse, and was looking into the YOTH bar

Appreciate the insight, alot of good info
where do you even find gold coins? just at those gold/silver precious metal shops?

same here bro Dhizzle ..more looking to stash it and let it marinate tho..but thats a dope idea to as a pendent..need to find an Ox bar

 

[stunnaman]

hittin costco later today see if they got any in person, might just cop online if not

 

[rfx45]

really just up to you which coin design you like best and they do sell pendant coin holders

but also consider how small 5g is, i think only chinese coins go by grams but if you can see how tiny a 5g bar is then i dont think you'd want it as a pendant


pert mint has lunar series every year and 2026 is year of the horse so you are in luck but im not sure if you want the king on the obverse side

American Gold Eagles and Maples comes in 1/10th oz, 1/4th oz and 1/2 oz, it might be the best option as it doesnt have someone head on the obverse and they are mixed metal so they will be more durable, its still 24k coins overall but its not .9999 pure gold

Maples are one of the nicer coins (to me) and they go as small as 1gram (maplegram but its insanely small) but again you get the kings head on one side

Britannias as beautiful too

i personally like libertads because im a child and boobs

go to your Local Coin Shop, you dont have to buy, just look and see which coins you might like in person but plenty of places sells them, Apmex might be the biggest online dealer (they are owned of they own PAMP) but usually have the highest premium but they also have the most variety

there also SDBullion, BuillonExchange, MoneyMetals, SummitMetals, MonumentMetals, etc... a ton of legit places out there


but costco also sells AGE, Buffalos and Maples

you just gotta catch them quick because they go fast

So that's what it is. I saw that bracelet on this girl's dresser when I slept at her place so I took it with me. I had it in my shorts and went to go lift and hoop and I guess maybe a dumpbell hit it because it got bent.
