<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 7410312, member: 66"]If you can afford it the best way to buy gold is probably either bars or bullion coins such as the UGE in the one ounce size. but if that is too big a chunk for your wallet these coins such as the 20 francs or the sovereigns and half sovereigns possibly trade at a smaller premium to spot than the fractional UGE's and definitely at a lower mark up than the small denomination pre 33 us gold coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for refining them into .999 fine gold, no it would not be cheap or easy, but why do it? The coins are known fixed alloy and if you want to use the gold for jewelry or some industrial purpose you will usually be alloying it to a lower fineness so there isn't a lot of reason to refine it just to re-alloy. You take the known composition and add what you need to it. I can't see why an individual would really need to refine them back to .999 fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
