Goldbacks

I'm thinking about buying some goldbacks but I'm not well versed at how to store them and if living in a high humidity area will cause damage to them.

I am not at all schooled on these.... But I do think that the few times that I saw them they were of a polymer design which should be impervious to moisture.... If I am wrong... And I very well may be, but hopefully somebody will correct me.

 

I got 1 in a 2021 secret santa gift....

 

I've got a few (6) and just keep them in one currency baggie with no issues.. as mentioned, they polymer so no real humidity issue...

 

What the heck are they?

 

"Micro" gold. 1/1000 of an ounce up to 1/20th 24k gold foil sealed in a plastic "bill" Nothing fantastic but the artwork is something else

 

First I’ve head of them.

 

Gold Backs are pretty cool, but more of
nostalgia piece then anything else.

 

Gold hammered so thin that it is one atom thick.

 

you can say that again...LOL

 

uh...not really

 

1 1/2 then

 

That I might believe

 

ditto

 

The premiums are outrageous. You’re much better off buying a gold coin or even silver.
One for a display is plenty.

I nearly started buying some a few years ago when I ventured into overstrikes. They're more like artwork than a gold investment as they're mostly 1/1000 oz.

apmex sells 'em too

 

Not worth the cost to me.

 

The art work is amazing I will have to agree to that
