Investing in Gold Bars vs. Gold Coins - The Ultimate Decision!

In this video I talk about investing in gold bars vs. investing in gold coins. When it comes to buying physical gold for investment or for gold stacking you need to decide if you want to stack gold bars or gold coins. The gold bars vs coins debate has been going on for decades and everyone has an opinion on it. I do a deep dive into the pricing and I found that gold bars vs krugerrands had a $12 difference in price at my LCS. When you are buying gold bars vs coins you also need to factor in trust and liquidity. I believe that gold coins vs bars really comes down to personal preference. You should be investing in gold to protect your wealth and both gold coins and gold bars can help you do that. I invest in gold to save money and give myself a hedge against inflation. I prefer to buy gold coins over gold bars because I like them more and I am willing to spend the extra money to do so. Feel free to check out SD bullion for great deals on gold bars and gold coins.

When it comes to investing in gold, I’ve always been more drawn to gold bars. They’re sleek, and the pricing is often a bit more favorable when you're buying in bulk. The premium over spot price for bars tends to be lower, especially if you’re going for higher weights like 10 oz or 1 kilo bars. Plus, when you’re stacking, it’s just more efficient

I have 35% of my capital investments in an IRA, 25% in index funds, and the balance spread across other investment accts totalling over $250k. I took a big hit in Q2, 2023. Right now i am just looking for ways to recover in 2024.

0:00 💰 Exploring the debate between buying gold bars versus gold coins for investment purposes.
1:20 🔍 Fake gold bars are easier to make than coins, often made from tungsten and plated with gold, but coins have more detectable features.
3:19 🛡 Coins are perceived as more trustworthy due to their face value and potential legal consequences for counterfeiters.
4:46 💼 Both bars and coins have liquidity, but bars might fetch slightly lower prices when sold back.
6:28 💲 Gold bars generally have lower premiums compared to coins, offering potentially better deals for investors.
8:16 🤔 Personal preference plays a significant role in deciding between bars and coins, considering factors like trust, liquidity, and aesthetic appeal.

If we gotta resell the metal to a bank (because banks easily buy it from people without many restriction)
Is bullion better or the coin?

I invested in gold bars some years ago. I bought 5kg and it’s only ever increased in value. Yippee!!

[murp]

Why not both! I like some variety in my stack.

I'm watching this 11 months after release, but, the information still rings true... Personally, coins scare me because of this "extra" value(and cost) over the melt or spot price. Scares me cause stuff like that "extra" changes as a fad, or a whim of the people, or whatever you wanna call it. Bars just feel safer to me for some reason. If I by a bar, it is what it is and it's worth what it's worth, but with coins, I pay this extra, and even if the metal price stays the same, the price I can sell it for later might be less because of some reduction in the desirability... I dunno, maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but bars just feel safer to me.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for...

In the UK I believe the bigger difference is the minted coins are free of capital gains tax!
Could be considerable over long periods of time

[ianbird]

if your looking at the britannia gold bar instead of a standard bar what would your thoughts be then

I have a question? I heard silver pandas are very collectible item. Do you think it would be a good idea to start buying silver pandas and then selling them on eBay?

[attilabodi]

I heard that over a certain amount of $ during the sell, you have to pay tax but if its currency (coin) it is except from tax. Is this true?

[rodrigodiaz]

Why the use of gloves? Can you really damage them touching them directly?

[SHOCKWAVEDAVE]

Thank you for the solid advice. Turning some funds to gold and silver soon.

Gold bars you can buy for a set price over spot but its usually a small % amount. However some coins may have a "Intrinsic value" that far exceeds the spot price of gold. This depends on many factors but one example is number minted. An example of this is my 2009 ultra high relief I purchased from the mint in 2009 for $1500 or about ~$300 over a roughly ~$1200 (the spot price at the time) but now I could easily sell that same coin somewhere in the neighborhood of ~$6000 or ~$4150 over a ~$1850 gold spot price today. A gold bar purchased in 2009 would only fetch me the current spot price of gold, but usually a little over. So you have spot price and then in some instances also a intrinsic value.

Coins are significantly more fun to stack than bars particularly, if you have favorites or rare pieces you like to revisit. However, if you are trying to take advantage of it financially. It is harder to psychologically let go of coins than it is bars.

For the everyday investors, Is it better to buy common gold bullion coins or premium gold coins???? I've been told it's better in the long run to purchase Premium precious metals like gold and silver. I know premium coins are more expensive. Thanks. -- Ray

[alcinosousa]

Hello sir, where can i buy the item you used to test the bar and coin gold and what is the name of it ? Thanks

[mattmeagher]

I’d love to see this exact same video for silver! Thanks!

I own both bars and coins however I think that coins are a much better choice if you are planning on using them as currency should there be another great depression or a black swan event. I also think that buying coins in the lowest weight is preferable if you are buying for a SHTF scenario. I'd rather barter with a 1/4 oz Gold coin than a 1 oz for obvious reasons. Silver coins probably need to be minimum 1oz and are probably the best choice if you do intend to ever use a precious metal to buy food and other essentials when the world economy crashes. This sounded like the talk of preppers and conspiracy theorists a few short years ago, but now we can actually see that the world is headed for financial ruin, and if you hold paper gold or silver, stocks or cash in the bank, then you could stand to lose it all. I plan on investing a considerable amount into both Gold and Silver coins now, probably 1/4 oz Gold Coins and 1 oz Silver coins. I don't care about the designs on them, or the collectability of certain limited edition coins, I only care about spot value. In the coming Mad Max world the guy running the local supply store won't care whether it's an Eagle or a picture of Joe Biden on the coin, as long as the spot value is there.
