<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mostly_broncos, post: 2660909, member: 23538&quot;]Here is what is wrong with 1 oz. coins ;&nbsp;&nbsp; the cause paralysis&nbsp;&nbsp; in a down market.&nbsp; Gold peaked at what&nbsp; $1875ish?&nbsp;&nbsp; While its going up you are fine&nbsp; , when it peaks and starts down&nbsp;&nbsp; you don&#039;t have any idea&nbsp; if its just a dip&nbsp; so hardly anyone&nbsp; sold&nbsp; out from 1875 down to 1700&nbsp; but&nbsp; they started to get nervous&nbsp; if they had a stack of 1 oz coins.&nbsp; Because&nbsp; they now&nbsp; were going to lose&nbsp; 200 on each coin at least ,&nbsp;&nbsp; so you sat there like a deer in the headlights , a lot of folks waited and watched all the way down to 1400&nbsp; before they&nbsp; started unloading.&nbsp; If you had tenths&nbsp; , 20 francs&nbsp;&nbsp; 1/4 ounce coins etc.&nbsp; you could rebalance into some other investment a little at a time&nbsp;&nbsp; by selling off fractions&nbsp; of an ounce with a lot less psychological&nbsp; pain.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Incidentally&nbsp;&nbsp; , the same thing happens&nbsp; with 1000 and 100 oz&nbsp; silver bars.&nbsp; &nbsp; There were plenty&nbsp;&nbsp; of saps&nbsp; that got stuck with 1000 oz. bars&nbsp; in 1981&nbsp;&nbsp; that still had them decades later,&nbsp; some of those idiots&nbsp;&nbsp; didn&#039;t&nbsp; sell when silver ran up&nbsp; and probably still have them today. They&nbsp; pat themselves on the back at the low premiums per ounce when they buy&nbsp; but&nbsp; you can tell by looking at them when they are underwater they start to look a little green around the gills.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no feeling quite like buying&nbsp; an ounce of gold at 400 , then seeing it hit almost 1900&nbsp; and then&nbsp; missing&nbsp;&nbsp; the peak&nbsp; and never pulling the trigger.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
