1/10 & 1/20 oz gold coins

I'm confused. This is a thread about fractional gold coins or bullion, and you mention Capped Bust Dimes. I'm not sure this is related to fractional GOLD....but what do I know?

fractional gold quest

Hello i have a question In the USA today backpage ad US rare coin & bullion has 5$ goverment issued gold coin ? for 122$ per coin, no limit, no dealer markup. If this is a 2010 or 2009 AGE, is there a pro or con to ordering this. No this isn't a setup just a newbie question. Oh there is no website just a number. steven moor EDIT i also just found a 2008 slabed 5$ ms69 for 219$ on http://www.thecoinvault.net/product_details.aspx?item_guid=a043dcb9-b65e-40b3-be25-6c64d5fb7df0
so is the value and the resale potential there, if gold rises? thanks

 

This one is buy now for $187, on ebay. You draw your own conclusions.

EDIT: Oooops, I see you said $122. I'm not sure without seeing the ad?

thanks
looking on ebay list all auctions i see, that 122$ is on the low end of normal.
It looks like the only deals would be to buy 10 at a time for 1155$ :smile
if you could get it. And i saw that an american buffalo was listed as .9999 or 4 9s, are AEs 4 .9s? I'll think about 20$ pieces only.

 

You can start with an American gold eagle coin which is a tenth or you could go cheaper and buy a 1/20th dos pesos gold coin and pay $50 to $60. Your choice and I think it's a great way to accumalate gold. :thumb:

 

AGE are 22k, 91.75%.

 

They pile up nicely, always seem to command a premium,enjoy universal recognition, and are neither too large nor too small (currently will purchase 40 gallons of gasoline or 3.5 cases of beer).
Go for it.

 

I dont know about the price!!

 

Another option for collecting smaller gold is to literally make a "collection" out of it. In the nineties I decided to see how many countries I could obtain 1/10 ounce gold bullion from. I remember I got some of the easy ones on ebay for $31 plus shipping! I continued for several years before finally stopping when I could no longer buy any for under about $70. I have not looked in a while but I believe I have coins from 22 different countries. I realize that some of them originated from common mints, but didn't let that stop me. I also found 3 different US states. I ignored the lunar and private stuff. It might be a little pricey to do that now but who knows, maybe in reality it won't be. I tell you it is a lot more interesting to look at than 22 1/10 eagles!

 

Neat idea. I like it!

 

I just bought some 1/10oz gold and will keep buying,yes silver will take off (maybe) but gold will always lead the way i want to have alittle of the stuff on hand just cause??

 

I like what CappedBustDimes and Collector1966 had to write.

I have purchased about 70 pieces combined of 1/10 oz. gold pieces (Aust Phils, SAK, and misc. foreign). Recently, I purchased 4 pieces of 1/20 oz. Canadian Maples.

I owed my nephew 4 gifts for his recent 4 gold medals in his chosen sport. I wish I had ordered more of them for me. I would love to have a few more. In early Feb, the price was higher than I paid in Dec. Few places seem to have them on hand.

Buy what you love - and can afford. Smaller and higher priced gold is better than no gold at all.
