<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 324971, member: 9167"]I think the only reason they bother with fractional gold coins is simply due to the allure of gold itself. Many gold coins are bought by people who don't even collect coins or invest in them, but simply want to own a piece of gold. These people won't fork over $1200 for a full ounce coin, but they will spend $100 on a quarter ounce coin. </p><p> </p><p>It's all about what sells, not whats numismatically pleasing.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
