About 1/10oz being easier for liquidation, I think that depends on who you are talking to. I don&#039;t think there will be any problem in selling your 1oz coins to big dealers like APMEX, Provident Metals, Gainesville, Gold Mart, Golden Eagle, or others (I apologize for not mentioning all dealers here).</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, I like to diversify my stuff. So, I would suggest to get 1oz (half of your total asset), 1/2oz (1/4 of your total asset), 1/4oz (1/8 of your total asset) and 1/10oz (another 1/8 of your total asset).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I will only buy American Gold Eagle and Maple Leaf. Please do NOT forget the American Gold Buffalo too! The good about American eagle is that it is highly recognizable. Plus, the US government guarantees its authenticity. When things go south, the secret service will be there to invetigate. The bad thing though, it is 22K, not 24K. So, in this regard, I would probably get the American Gold Buffalo and the Maple Leaf COINS. They are both 24K. The only problem with gold buffalo is that they seem to produce mostly 1oz coins only.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, in regard to diversification, I would probably get some 1oz of gold eagle, gold buffalo and maple leaf and get fractionals of the maple leafs. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have no comment on this one. I did purchase a 10gram PAMPs in December when gold was cheap. But I wouldn&#039;t buy bars anymore. I strick myself to buy government minted coins only.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Of the three choices, I definitely say Provident Metals. But please check out Gainesville and Gold Mart. if you pay cash, all three I mentioned in my response have great discount. They differ in the shipping fees and delivery time. Based on my personal experience, Gold Mart or Gainesville is better in term of money followed closely by Provident. But in term of delivery time, no one beats Provident.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If I were you, I would buy the followings (for heaven sake, I round things up);</p><p>1oz gold buffalo (~2000)</p><p>1oz gold eagle (~2000)</p><p>1oz maple eagle (~2000)</p><p>1/2oz maple leaf (~1000)</p><p>1/2oz gold eagle (~1000)</p><p>1/4oz maple leaf (~500)</p><p>1/4oz gold eagle (~500)</p><p>1/10oz maple leaf x 3 (~600)</p><p>1/10oz gold eagle x 2 (~400)</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy shopping! &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.cointalk.org/images/smilies/14.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;Hail&quot; smilieid=&quot;30&quot; class=&quot;inlineimg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
