[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 7372123, member: 26302"]Someone brought up a good point of world gold. World coins, even though smaller than an ounce, are not really fractional. When we talk fractional, we talk about modern issues like 1/10th ounces, quarter ounce, etc. Old world gold is another animal with different supply/demand. Fractionals will always be more expensive since die prep, flan prep, etc is essentially the same for a tenth ounce as a one ounce coin. Therefore, its more expensive to make per ounce, and if purchasers do not pay it the mints will not make them. I know we all have different economic circumstances, but if you are stacking pm long term you are probably wisest to save up until you can get a full ounce. Do I? Heck no.
