<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AuSgPtHoarder, post: 739001, member: 9817&quot;]Since you&#039;re more interested in the bullion investment than the coin-collecting aspect, you could skip actual coinage entirely and buy gold rounds or bars.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just looked at apmex.com and here&#039;s a few sample prices:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1 oz Credit Suisse .9999 (24k) bar: $1,171.05</p><p>1 oz Gold Rounds .9999: $1,171.05</p><p>1 oz Bullion Buffalo .9999: $1,220.44</p><p>1 oz Gold Eagle .9167 (22k): $1,194.95</p><p>1 oz Gold Kruggerand .9167 $1,190.35</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So the .9999 gold bars and rounds are the best way to invest in strictly bullion, with the Gold Buffalo being only a 4% uptick to go from non-coinage gold to a US Mint product.&nbsp; Even without becoming a &quot;coin collector&quot;, I believe having bullion in well-recognized coinage makes it more portable.&nbsp; I&#039;m more likely to believe the purity of a gold buffalo or eagle than a random-stamped round piece of gold.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Eagles and Kruggerands cost more than the round but less than the Buffalo, but they don&#039;t have as much gold content.&nbsp; I personally like gold eagles, but that is because with the small amount of gold I buy, I want to have a numismatic interest in it as well.&nbsp; With silver, I do buy silver eagles, but I mainly go with silver bars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
