<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1478897, member: 26302"]OP, if you simply wish to convert some cash into basically PM, but have a little "fun" with it, I would say stay away from government issues. Usually the surcharge over PM value is pretty steep. If you want a little gold I would suggest a few $20 gold coins. They have almost an ounce of gold, and can be bought for not much over bullion for circulated examples, (like EF or AU). Or, you could buy slabbed uncirculated coins like MS 62 for not much more. Having a chunk of gold from the 19th century, or a St. Gaudens double eagle to me is cooler than just an ounce of gold. If you like, you could also work your way down, and buy $10 pieces, and maybe a couple $5 pieces. However, the smaller the denomination the more premium versus gold you will be paying. However, you could create a little gold type set for $10k.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
