Better to purchase a full ounce gold coin or a number of smaller sizes to equal one ounce?
I’m thinking of purchasing between one and two ounces of gold as a hedge against inflation. I’ve noticed that there seems to be a small premium placed on the 1/20, 1/10, 1/2, etc sizes of coins as opposed to the full ounce coins (talking Gold Maple Leafs in this example). Are all of the weights different sizes? Or are they just less pure and the same size? Also, is there any real reason to buy the smaller sizes if you can afford the full ounce?
Joe:
If you are buying strictly as a hedge, you will
pay less premium for the 1 oz coins, as you
already know.
The coins are of the same purity, and vary
in size, by weight. The higher premium is
simply a way for the dealers to make more
money.
Were you interested in having gold coins
for barter or exchange, having smaller coins
would be more flexible.
To maximize your potential, stay with 1 oz.
Smart purchase!
