[QUOTE="andrew289, post: 923556, member: 6463"]I have to agree with sweeper. Small bars are not a smart way to buy gold. I can understand if you have little money to invest but wait until you can get atleast a 1/2 coin. Have you ever seen a gram bar in person? It's about as big as the finger nail on your pinky finger. If you sneezed real hard, it might blow away. Sure you may "prefer" to have a little bag of gram bars and it might be cool to impress your friends with but unless you are thinking "survialist" and paying for stuff when the world as we know it ends, this is a great way to OVER pay for gold. Say for example ...the world doesn't end and you go to sell in 20-30 years. It's a tough sell and chances are you will sell for less than spot with no numismatic value at all. Here are various shapes and sizes of bars: [URL]http://www.apmex.com/Category/9/Gold_Bars__Rounds_1_gram___400_oz.aspx[/URL] Sadly as coins get smaller, you actually pay MORE: Currently: 1oz coin - $1,318.95 1/2 oz - $ 705.88 1/4 oz - $362.39 1/10 oz - $151.00 If you buy a 1/10 oz coin ...you are paying $1,500 an ounce.
