<p>[QUOTE=&quot;drathbun, post: 1962755, member: 42789&quot;]I have been interested in coins almost my whole life, but only recently got back into the hobby. I have also found myself attracted to gold in raw form, specifically nuggets with &quot;character.&quot; I&#039;ve done some reading / research on the matter, and I get that nuggets command a premium because of the rarity. The most commonly quoted statistics I see are along the lines of, &quot;Only 1% of all gold mined comes out as nuggets&quot; and &quot;A one ounce nugget is more rare than a 5 ct diamond&quot; and stuff along those lines. I&#039;ve purchased a couple of nuggets (including one from a fellow CT member) and have generally been happy with my purchases, but I am curious... so a couple of questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Do you buy gold in nugget (or other raw) form?</p><p>2. If so, what premium (1.5x spot, 2x spot, 5x spot, etc.) would you consider paying?</p><p><br /></p><p>I know question 2 still depends on things like nugget size (larger nuggets command a higher premium, nuggets with quartz inclusions are more attractive to some) but a ballpark range would be educational.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
