    Thank you! I have noticed an unfortunate "tone" on this board, and I don't mean the silver. Some people seem awfully rude here. And I don't think I'm saying that just because I'm Canadian!

    Question... what to do with a harmless ant???
    Answer... you ignore ant. :wideyed::bored::)

    I have some .999999 fine medical gold. Good luck getting a premium for it. Must cost a fortune to have made, which is why it is only used as little as possible. Only for things that are put in the body to stay. No, I have not been grave robbing or working in a mortuary.

    Briefly,
    1) the denomination in modern bullion coins is an arbitrary value (cf. US 5-oz silver "quarter") which allows them to be classified as legal tender, which means in some states (e.g. Germany for gold) they are not taxed.
    2) A sovereign was/is the standard British gold coin weighing close to a 1/4 ounce of gold and was originally worth 1 pound. They were minted throughout the empire. Naturally today they cost a couple of hundred pounds.
    3) A 1-oz gold coin contains one ounce of gold, but may also contain additional alloys, like the Krugerrand. So if you melt one down, you may get more than an ounce of metal, but still only an ounce of gold.
    4) A melted-down coin will probably sell at even less than spot, since a lump of metal will have to be assayed. The coin at least is supposedly a guarantee of quality, which is why they sell at a premium to spot. But watch out for fakes.
    5) You can make ornaments from melted coins or unmelted ones. Austrian Maria Theresia Thalers are or were highly prized as ornaments in Africa.

    Here is the original Libertad, "1947" 50 peso piece. Apparently much restruck. MX50Peso1947.jpg

    And here is a 1959 10 Peso piece, 8.3 g 22.5 mm. MX10Pesos1959M.jpg
    Of course these are not what is generally referred to a "bullion" coins, meaning coins devoid of numismatic interest, but they're pretty close.

  10. I recieved my 2 ounce Perth Mint year of the dog. Lovely coin, its big and hefty with a nice reverse proof frosted finish that shows slight rainbow hues as it catches the light.

    I wish more mints would do 2 ounce gold, would love to see a 2 ounce buffalo. I would be ordering right away.

    Gold is quite pretty but I need to save my money for a 1957 nash metropolitan, but if I had the extra money I would be all over that sweet glittery butter.

    The most beautiful gold coin in the world! But always the most delicate. Don't store it in a pouch unless you want that soft 9999 gold to scratch and dent. The odds are it will come in its mint plastic anyway, I suppose.

    Aren't you paying a rich premium to the gold content for sub-1 oz. coins ?

    Yes , but if that's the only way I can afford small gold. It's not like I have super deep pockets. Some gold is better than no gold. Right now I have 20 100 gram silver bars. I wanted some gold. 1 oz is the best way to buy gold, but there is no way I can afford a 1 ounce all at once.

    It seems they want more for the older 2016,2018 or random dates than if you a got a 2019 gold coin.. I was under the influence of thinking or not that the weight of the gold is worth what ever the market is that particular day.. So why do they expect more for the older date coins.. if there is nothing rare or unusual about them..
