    I have Boston Bruins season tickets and I traded a pair of tickets (that cost me $80) for this little gem a 2003 Australia 1/10 oz gold Year of The Goat.

    Not the best pictures, but you get the picture.

    Very nice! I'm a big fan of small gold. Well done.

    I am as well. Since gold has dropped I have purchased 4 small gold coins. I wanted to diversify my collection as it is mostly silver so it feels good to have some gold. I think I may buy one more for the time being to feed my gold fever while i think its at a good price.

    Of course, you can go too far with the "small" thing.

    I can't imagine it gets much smaller than that and can still be considered a coin. :smile The smallest of mine it a 1982 British Virgin Islands $25 piece.

    As of now I have a gold 1/10 Fanam (on a par with the Bele) I have 2 inbound at moment a full Fanam (about .4g) but my prize is also on it's way, a real nice 2007 1.2g Ireland celtic culture 20 euro :D going nuts waiting on them to arrive :D

    The Bele is .75 grains. People who used them held them in their mouths, because the inside of your mouth is one of the most sensitive parts of your skin - they were much harder to lose that way.

    Not a problem at least we're still talking gold.

    Yes good deal for both. Apparently he bought the coin for $50 ten years ago and traded it for ticket worth well over face value online. As for me getting gold for well less than it is worth I am thrilled.
