<p>[QUOTE="FOCUSalmon, post: 965753, member: 26766"]Honestly I just have a wide variety. When I first started I just only wanted the PAMP Bars because of the simplicity of the design and the fact that it came with an assay card was a nice plus because of the peace of mind it gave me. While my PAMP bar was nice to look at, sadly the same packaging that was really important to me at first also became sort of annoying because I couldn't actually touch the gold itself and under no circumstance would I ever consider to take it out. Although on ebay I have seen very very few PAMP bars that are sold without the assay card but personally I wouldn't ever buy one and I've seen them sell for a bit less than the ones that are sold how they were originally sold. </p><p><br /></p><p>To make my investing/collecting a little more fun for myself I decided to look towards gold bullion coins. I don't know why but I really liked the look of the South African Krugerrands so I began buying some of them as well. There's quite a bit of Gold Bullion coins out there from the Krugerrand, Gold Eagle, Maple Leaf, Sovererign, etc. It just depends what you're looking for. Some of these coins will have higher premiums than others and for the most part may sell higher than the PAMP bars seeing that coins can be looked at as both collectable and for investment while the bars mainly (not always) are looked solely for investment purposes. </p><p><br /></p><p>So to answer your question I like both for different reasons. The PAMP looks really nice and so do the coins which I put in airtites and have them in a nice display. Honestly just depends on what you prefer and are into.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm pretty new to all this too and I'm far from being anywhere nearly as knowledgeable as other people on this board, but this is just somethings I've learned/seen myself. Hopefully something in all this blabbing on helped![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
