[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 924926, member: 3011"]It is a mistake because: 1. You are buying non-standard products that might or might not have the weight and purity stamped on them. Government coins will always have the weight and purity promised. 2. You are buying gold in a form that will be more difficult to resell someday. If you do manage to resell it, the buyer will apply a significant discount compared to something like American Gold Eagles. 3. You are vastly overpaying for the items you've shown us. So even if you avoid the pitfalls of 1. and 2., your profit will be far lower as a result of buying the stuff you are interested in. But it's your money. You seem determined to buy this sort of stuff. I wish you luck. I can't say it any clearer, so this is the end of this thread for me. It's too painful to watch.[/QUOTE]
