[QUOTE="Info Sponge, post: 771935, member: 20538"]What country are you in, and do you think you might want to sell in another country? In the US, Eagles are easy to sell and there's a relatively small difference between buy and sell prices. If you're crossing borders, some places charge taxes on gold less than, say, .995 fine. Eagles are 22K so this might be a problem depending on where you go. Maples are a natural choice for 24K gold. There are people who claim that 24K gold is more widely accepted by overseas buyers. I don't know myself. Check out some place like APMEX that lists their buy and sell prices together, and look for what has them closest. And reconsider buying coins, if all you're doing is protecting yourself from inflation. If you're trying to protect yourself from major financial collapse, physical is safest, but if you expect the economy to keep running while inflation erodes your wealth, a vehicle like the gold ETF or BullionVault won't put you 3% in the hole the day you buy like coins do (plus you can liquidate in seconds). Physical gold is for when you're more worried about counterparty risk than about theft and loss. That's your call to make and I won't try to influence you, but be aware of the decision.[/QUOTE]
