[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1473129, member: 19065"]You're buying bullion, looking for the lowest prices and posting about this in an investment section of the forum... You can choose what you are after design wise if that appeals to you, and while the price between the two isn't all that different/significant to persuade you one way or the other, it sounds like you are trying to maximize the amount of gold for the money. The AGBs haven't been around as long as the AGEs but they shouldn't have any problem being easy to resell if you need to, though I'd say bullion AGE are the easiest to liquidate. I'm not sure if AGB are allowed to be added to IRA holdings as are AGE, not that that is your interest either. At any rate, don't limit yourself to the big retail bullion dealers like APMEX and Provident for price comparisons. There are other bullion dealers who you may be able to open individual accounts with for small purchases. Those US Mint APs, like [URL="http://www.amark.com/about-amark"]A-Mark[/URL] (located in Santa Monica, CA) may be one option, though they may not always have the products you are looking to purchase. I mention the APs because some of them (like [URL="http://www.fidelitrade.com/products/product_list_top.asp"]FideliTrade[/URL] in Delaware) began offering products to individuals when the 5 oz ATBs released, whereas before they were more commercial account oriented or required enormous orders in the past to work with them.
