[QUOTE="sridhar3, post: 1556734, member: 41663"]Hi guys, new to the forums (as evidenced by my post count). I'm interested in investing in gold bullion. Not looking to make a profit, just trying to diversify my portfolio with a stable investment that hopefully won't depreciate over time. I'm not looking for numismatic value, just the value of the metal itself (hence why I picked bullion). I've done quite a bit of reading, but I've been having a hard time getting a definitive answer with regards to the question of bullion bars vs. bullion coins. I understand that, to some extent, this is a matter of opinion, so I completely expect people to state their personal preferences. However, if possible, please back said preferences with sound evidence-based reasoning as to why you went with the choice you selected. Ounces vs. fractionals: Which is preferred, and why? Some people have said 1 oz. for lower asking premiums, other haves said 1/10 oz. for ease of liquidation. With regards to coins: American Eagles vs. Krugerrands vs. Maples vs. Pandas, etc., and why? With regards to bars: PAMPs vs. Credit Suisse vs. Perth Mint vs. Heraeus etc., and why? Best places to buy: APMEX vs. Provident vs. eBay etc., and why? Or, to frame the question a different way: If you had $10,000.00 USD to invest, and you were to invest in only gold bullion, what would you buy?[/QUOTE]
