Most of the physical gold I see people stack is coins or bars.

So when I heard about these Redbacks (gold in a thin, wallet-sized piece), it made me wonder what the real point is vs just buying a normal bar or coin.

I’ll be honest…they do look pretty cool, and I get the appeal in theory. Something you can actually carry around that’s still physical gold, but I still have some questions.

If you’ve owned or held one, do they feel durable, or more gimmicky in person? Are y’all actually carrying these in your wallet or did they end up in a drawer like everything else?

Before I buy any of these, I really want to know what other people think. That said, they do look pretty cool.

I don't know alot buying gold but I think I want to start investing in physical gold bars/coins. My question is what website is a known legitimate company that sells gold and what is buying at spread or something I heard something similar and I'm not sure what that means.

The possibilities are endless; 31 individual 1g pieces, four 1/4 oz coins, two 1/2 oz coins/bars, a single 1 oz coin/bar, or some combination of sizes.

For those who have bought fractional gold, or any gold for that matter, what sizes/products have you found to have the best liquidity without paying a ridiculous premium up front, or where the premium is justifiable?

Edit: this would be for my stack; the only reason I would sell is if it got to a point where I was bartering with it, or if I am DESPERATE for money.

Hi.

I have a stack of 1 oz AGE’s. I have bought some ASE’s as a way to use precious metals for exchange rather than a 1 oz gold coin. I mean, who can make change for that at $4100 for an ounce.

I was considering adding to my sliver and thought, 1/4 oz gold coin is about the same as 20 1/4 gold coins. So why not just own 5 of those for the same purpose?

Thoughts?
