<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jason.A, post: 2751299, member: 87620&quot;]When I started investing in gold I once considered buying RCM gold Maple Leafs in a sealed assay. My reason was because I was very disappointed in the first gold maple I ever received that looked a little dinged up due to its very high purity. My hope was that something sealed from the rcm would be in better shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was many, many years back. Since then, I have learned that a 99.99+ ounce of gold is just worth spot, dings or not. And most buyers simply do not care if it&#039;s slightly dinged up. Therefore, paying a higher premium for a coin in a sealed assay is just a waste of money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have also learned that bullion buyers don&#039;t care about assays, certificates of authenticity, or serial numbers. For something like a government produced bullion coin, there is very standard appearance, weight, and size. These are all recognizable by those in the field who may buy your bullion from you without the need for a superfluous assay. Their expert opinion can visually see if what you have is real, and they can weigh it and measure it to be sure it aligns to those specifications.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
