I can get on board with this! While I do have some commems, I'm not a fan and I've only bought them at melt. Still, when markets are hot like they have been, it's easy to sell pretty much any gold. Also, I agree with the higher premiums on the smaller fractional, but I still think it's wise to have the 1/10 just because of the ease of liquidity, and the same thing applies on the 1/10 as it does on the 1/4 - you can recoup the premiums. Additionally, I think I have too much foreign gold. It buys and it sells, but I don't want to be in a position to find people that are interested in it due to the usually goofy .2417 AGW stuff...

Good to see you Vert! I always appreciate your comments, especially if they disagree with my points or mindset. We can all learn from a differing perspective. You're right about the 1/10th oz but I guess for me it's being able to see the damn thing 😂. Too freaking small, I got to store them in a tube so they don't get lost. I've got a tube or so of the 1/10 size but the 1/4 just feels right to me. I don't think there is a right or wrong way either, just keep on stacking. Foreign gold is so interesting because it's such a niche market and that's why it's premium is so low. I love the 20 Swiss francs good stuff. 😎👊
I started my stack with 10 ounces of silver and 1/10th of an ounce of gold each month. In 10 months I had my first ounce 😊. Everyone has their own way of stacking. Whatever works for them and they can afford, is the right way to stack.
I was in my early 30s in the 1999 to 2004 time frame. I had very little money. Buying 1/10th oz gold Eagles was manageable but was still something I had to plan for. I am SO glad I bought those - 30-40 bucks a pop:). I will NEVER fault anyone for buying fractional - hell, I still don't own gold larger than 5grams. Buying fractional gold is the best way for folks of modest means to build wealth. Effe the metal snobs, stack what you can afford and build wealth now, don't wait because someone looks down on fractional.
Bravo! You nailed it, there is a snobbery when it comes to precious metals and stacking and it needs to end. Some can only afford the smaller pieces. I would rather hold gold now in a fractional form than save up to get that 1oz piece. Especially, with all the uncertainty going on. Makes no sense to hold fiat. Thanks for the great comment and for watching!
My opinion, based on experience, is to buy ONLY monetized gold bullion, in the 1oz size only. Monetized bullion is the easiest to sell, and carries the lowest cost over melt. You are unlikely to get any of that big 10-12% premium you paid on a 1/10oz gold eagle, when you sell it. Smaller dollar value amounts are the easiest to sell, that's where silver comes in. Buy the silver type that is easiest to sell, and has the lowest premium over melt.
Small gold coins are just a practical way to store money. Imagine your silver/gold stack as a bank account. With exclusively large sized gold pieces you can only withdraw LARGE amounts of money from your account at a time. Small gold coins are much more practical for everyday usage/trade. ~$230 for a 1/10 oz eagle is a practical amount of cash. I love small eagles for that reason
It's amazing how much needless spending I have cut out since I started stacking. Fractional gold is all I have any chance of affording at the moment but hey some gold is better than none. I'll get to an ounce eventually 😁
Seriously, stacking changed my monetary mindset in ways I just can't express. I find, you have to experience it to fully grasp it's consequences. I'm glad you see it and don't worry, you're ahead of most of the population. Keep on stacking and thanks for watching! 😎
Same brother. Here 1 gram of gold costs £55. You can just about get a meal for 2 at a somewhat decent restaurant for £55. Id rather have a gram of gold in my pocket.

I'm focused on 1/4 ozt Gold coins and Sovereigns.. Easy to sell and if you are patient and wait for bargains - the premiums are fairly low. I saw a 1/4th Gold Maple online today for 486 USD - so the deals are out there. Some stackers call the 1/4 ounce Gold coin the "sweet spot" coin - I agree.

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK? Someone else said the same thing about single family homes. Gold and silver, keeps me grounded. Thanks for your love and support bro! 🙏
I finally filled up a tube of 1/10 AGE's (50 coins) - The first one I bought, I paid $38 including the premium. At the time, I thought that was super expensive, and in fact, could only afford that one at the time. I did not start actually stacking until just a few years ago, and by then, the next 1/10 AGE I bought was $160 including premium. The moral of this, is that metals will ALWAYS feel like they are expensive. That $38 back then represented a day and a half of pay. A 1/10 eagle now goes for about the same day and a half of pay for a blue collar fella.... I just got my adult son in to stacking metals, and I pushed him away from fractional gold....In my opinion, Silver is much more efficient for an emergency fund, plus there is always a much larger buyer market for it. If I had all the high premiums back from those 50 1/10oz eagle coins, I could have an extra 2oz of gold almost, for the same money (Which to me, is leaving opportunity on the table.) The one advantage to gold is the portability of it. I can put $50k of gold in my pocket and walk all day. To carry the same value in silver, I would need a pack-mule or a car to haul it around. (under 2 pounds compared to over 120 pounds) So I still stack gold, but only the 1oz Eagles (sticking with that coin until I hit my life-goal stack, then I may branch to other types of coins) - I still have that tube of 1/10 ounce eagles, and I likely will keep it, just because of how small the 5 ounces represents, and it could be hidden and transported so easily if you had to. As for Silver, I have lowered my total stack goal I am shooting for (again, only ASE's for the stack) due to the weight and storage issue of it all. This year, due to the higher premiums, I have been buying a lot of semi-collectable silver, just for the enjoyment factor. I have picked up about 150 ounces of this stuff, but do not actually count it towards the stack, since I do some flipping with it, and the amount/types are pretty fluid. Cheers!
You're right and make a lot of great points. Silver is an interesting perspective because while I agree with you there are more buyers, I personally don't sell it because of it's long term potential. Thanks for watching! 🙏
While I completely agree with you about the high premiums of smaller Gold AND Silver items, what happens when prices increase 5x or 10x from what they are now? The problem with 1 Ounce Gold and 100 Ounce Silver bars is WHO will have the $15-30K on hand to buy your items. Part of the reason for the lower premium on large items NOW, is that they are harder to sell them, as less people can afford them even at today's prices. A 1/10 Oz Gold coin at 10x current spot would be $1,500- $2,000, while a 1 oz. would be $20,000. A 100Oz Silver bar would be ~ $30 GRAND... Something to think about.
@@9sec93lx Very true, - And I guess it would not hurt to have a small percentage of a persons total metals holdings in fractional stuff, But I would suggest having the stack at a somewhat significant level before going for the higher premium stuff (just because the stack can be grown faster) I already have the 5oz of 1/10 gold eagles, and I guess there is no real need to swap them off right now, but personally, I will stick with 1oz denomination for everything going forward.....(Although the LCS has a 10oz gold bar right now, that I am really antsy to get - just for the sweetness factor - I have never had one, and in fact, have never held one.) For silver, I do stack a couple hundred ounces of 10oz bars, plus $200 face value in junk silver, and the rest is in ASE's (with the exception of some semi-collectable silver I have been buying this year due to the higher premiums. (That stuff did not have a significant price hike, like ASE's have seen, so it feels more affordable) - I am almost to my stack goal with ASE's, (7 more tubes is all I need) and then I will work towards getting the junk face value to $500 before the year is over, then work to get it to $1000 in 2022. When I reach that point, I am done except for just buying items that have eye-appeal to me. As for the 10x gains though - I would be willing to bet my house that in my lifetime (maybe another 15 years based on my age/health) that we will not see 10x on gold. In fact, I doubt we will see it break $2400 over the next 5-7 years. And if metals did get a 10x or better increase in a very short term, (under 12 months) - the nation simply could not survive I don't think. - It would be a country of 1% of the population (the folks with metals to trade) against the other 99% (the ones with no metals, no food, no water purification abilities, etc)- we loose in ever situation and every time in that scenario...Basically, the "have-nots" will overwhelm the "have's" with vast numbers and a literal no-care of the outcome in any confrontation. Now, if metals get a 10x or more over a long term, say 20 years (as it has done already) then it will not matter, because it will not be due to the increased cost in metals, but rather the depreciation of the dollar. (In other words, the people and LCS that are presently paying $1900 per ounce of gold, is based on their current supply of money. Once we see gold and silver go up by 10x over a longer period, it will be due to an even greater supply of money, and everything will adjust accordingly, along with the price of metals.) Story time - When I was in high school, gold was $180 when it became legal to own again, and silver was around $4.50 My wage back then was $1.35/hr. When gold made it's first big move, the recent grads were selling their class rings for $700 (that their parents paid $100 for) and my full-time job was suddenly paying $5.50'hr....Everything went up almost concurrently (with less than a year of catch-up time between the pay and cost of goods, etc) ... I think we are on pace to see the same effects as the 1980's - we may see metals make a move, but at the same time, everything else will go up, and more money will be printed, which only makes it look like the value of our metals have increased. I use the silver quarter example...In 1960, you could buy a gallon of gas with a single silver quarter, plus a soda. Now, 60 years later, with that same silver quarter, we can still buy a gallon of gas and a soda, and in some cities, even a loaf of bread. Nothing has changed with the silver - it did not become worth more, the cash used to buy those commodities has depreciated so it takes more of it to buy those things. (The silver quarter is still a silver quarter, and has the same buying power) I do not think our country will ever see Venezuela type hyper-inflation, but if we do, then us folks with metals will be okay -- if we can figure out a way to trade it for the things we need to continue living, since we can not eat it or drink it. - And if we can figure out a way to keep from having it taken from us by superior numbers, etc Course, if I am wrong and you are right, and we see a 10x over a very short term, then you can always holler "I told ya so!" hahaha Thanks for your take and perspective on it - I always enjoying comparing views and trying to learn from everyone that posts.
@@robertgoldstein52 you’ll get what you paid for them. The premiums aren’t a big deal because it’s legal US tender. It’s worth it for the liquidity of the 1/10 piece. The 1/10 is the most liquid gold coin in the US, despite the premiums
Most stores I know struggle to get gold and do not care about what coin you have. Also Krugerrands and Phil harmonics are very desirable according to several stores in my area. In my opinion with today's demand the days of just maples and eagles being the only liquid coins is going to end. Good channel.
Good advice. I really like the peace of mind being my own bank. Can't beat it. If I need a loan I don't need the bank. Dept free and still stacking at a 30 to 1 silver to gold. Mostly 1/4 oz for the reasons you stated. I also love my 2 1/2, 5, and 10 dollar pre 33 gold collection which I don't consider part of my bank.
Hi Campbell coin, I buy 11 month fractional 24k physical Gold bars. The 12 month I get more bigger bar. Sometimes I trade fractional to one big bar. I am strong believer in GOLD BARS STACKING. I believe in true 👍 money which is 24k gold bars.
I have had the same experience with fractional gold - specifically 1/4oz Eagles. In 2013 after the last huge price surge, I decided to own some gold. When the price dipped and the cost of 1/4oz Eagles dropped below $300 I started buying them. As prices rose in 2020 I sold many of them - I made money on the gold content but I also made money on the premiums! On some of the sales, I made more percentage profit on the premium than I did on the gold content. Some people collect "assay packaged" eagles, they are easy to sell, and people feel sure they are getting real coins.
I went the fractional route Been at it for over 2 years. So many unusual coins under 1oz. Many that I purchased you dont see anymore on the bullion dealers sites. So hopefully made the right move.
If you look for grade C proof coin sets, they have red spot or some minor scratches, you get all or most of the fractional sizes at near bullion premiums. You might not get a pristine box or minters leaflet, but you will get 1/2 sovereigns or 1/4oz and 1/10oz britannias. Also a bonus, if you are not to fussy àbout which year you're wanting. Recently I ordered Chards Choice for 1/4oz britannias and I was sent 2 x 2008, Britannia riding a swirl of ocean surf. Im a returning customer for a 2001 britannia, A commanding Britannia with a Lion stood at her feet.

@@DrSchor For an example you could opt for going with just third party insurance instead of full coverage, or some companies allow you to have a lower yearly cost if you accept a larger excess in the event of an claim
people bash whatever they've had a bad experience with or gotten a bad deal on. for years i stacked fractionals while i couldn't afford a lower premium large piece. when i finally had to sell i got the premiums back no problem. most people who bash any particular type of metal have done poor research or made a dumb deal they regret.
I like the 1/10th oz proof American Gold Eagle. I know the premiums are high, but the design is beautiful and the proof finish makes the small size pop (in my eyes). I also think that if gold price continues to go up, the 1/10th oz size becomes easier to buy vs the larger sizes and will therefore have a larger base of buyer. That being said, I Ike the 1/4 oz as the “Goldilocks” size and value 👍 as premiums are still decent and relatively affordable.
What was great about gold currency dollars, is that you didn't need a savings account to see your wealth grow. Just holding the gold coins, saw your wealth increase. The Federal Reserve didn't like this and put an end to it
my plan is sell my scrap gold anytime I want. but keep my gold and silver coins for retirement as you say harder to sell in a rush. but more valuable in the long term. 🙂👍
If you're going to fool around with fractional gold you may as well buy complete 10 oz bar 5 oz bar or silver rounds don't follow that fractional gold stuff get the saint gauodens and double eagles have be done with it
You do have to be cautious about which LCS to go to though because a lot of them will buy the 1/10 ounce back at the same premium price that they would the one ounce. So there will be a loss in premium. Hopefully you can make up for it with an increased spot price tho.
My favorites are the 1/10th ozt AGEs. If you know where to shop around to find the best prices, and you are aware of the fact that there are some bullion dealers who will pay as much as 10% over spot to buy them from you, you don't really lose out much on the premium. Especially if you invest responsibly and plan to hold on to them for many years. I'd much rather be adding a 1/10th AGE to my stack each month rather than trying to save up money for a year to buy a 1 ozt AGE and save some $100 on the premium. I think of it as a monthly convenience fee of $10 that allows me to stack more frequently and stay motivated to keep stacking. In turn, stacking frequently forces me to budget more carefully... thereby allowing me to stack more in the long run. Had I been trying to save up for a year to buy that 1 ozt AGE I'd probably be taking cash out from the savings here and there. When buying the 1/10th oz coins I lock that cash into the coins and cannot spend it. I also like how small they are, which makes it easier to hide and transport. And it's also more fun seeing a larger quantity of small coins rather than just a few big ones. And, of course, the divisibility factor is an advantage in a SHTF type scenario, if one were to ever happen, God forbid.
Local coin shop isn't in business to buy high and sell low, probably worst place to sell. If you have a good relationship with them they may pay you a fair price. Lol.
Hi Gunnar, I think you should get some current issue sovereigns, you might be somewhat unhappy about parting with some your historic collection. Also there is a huge price difference.
@@gunnargundersen3787 Wow I'm impressed. I've got a couple of Victorian and Elizabethen shield backs. Some proof grades, but mainly Elizabeth 2nd bullion grade. Lots of duplicates to liquidate over the coming years of inflation.
I completely agree, but this wasn't about silver, just gold. I also don't sell any of my silver because I view it more valuable than gold in the sense of it's strategic importance. Gold is a tool, silver is everything. Appreciate you watching 😎👊
Campbell's Coins I had a similar situation by making a deposit but it wasn't cash it was a check made out to me but a different bank. I dont see a problem. As Rick Harrison would say in Pawn Stars, It's not that I don't trust you I just don't trust anyone.
I agree that fractional gold is an excellent way to stack. I disagree with your comments about the commemorative gold pieces. These days, I can walk into any of my lcs’s with a handful of them and they will practically dive over the counter to buy them. They won’t pay AGE prices for them, but they will definitely pay over spot. With that being said, I realize that not all lcs guys are created equal. That is just one reason to really get to know these guys well. I hear UA-camrs badmouth (fractional) foreign gold all the time. In my area, I can sell gold British Sovereigns or any of the 20 franc coins for over spot all day long. I always enjoy hearing your thoughts and opinions, even if I don’t agree with all of them. It would be a boring world indeed if we all agreed on everything. 🙂✌️
I welcome it all and I really do appreciate your opinion and insights because comments like these help me make better videos for you all. Maybe there has been a change in the commemorative market. My LCS was selling commemorative gold pieces for 1% over spot. If they are selling for that amount, I know they are buying a few percentage points under spot. This was over this last weekend, which is why I felt comfortable using it as an example. Some people stack weight, not premium and could care less what's stamped on it. I'm in agreement with you on the fractional foreign gold. 20 Swiss francs are my jam. Plus they are in really good shape with really low premiums. Thanks for watching and the thoughtful comment 😎👊
@@CampbellsCoins JM Bullion usually has 10 or 20 Corona Austrian Gold Coins available for a very low premium. These coins are Re-strikes of earlier dates (1912-1915) and are in AU or better condition generally. The 10 Corona is .0980 Oz. Gold weight and the 20's are twice the weight at .1960 Oz. Gold weight. Slightly less (2%) than a 1/10 Oz coin and a MUCH lower cost per Gold oz. than ANY other coin available.
@@DrSchor I think you missed the bus…way too many times!! Every time I see a comment from you, it’s absolutely ignorant. Are you a troll or simply an asshole??
Yes. Historically speaking, collectible gold or jewelry has been off limits to confiscation in the US. In other countries, no distinction is made, it's all taken. Check out my latest gold confiscation vid for other possibilities.
It's a neat idea and it gets people to change their mindset on real money (gold). The premiums on them are quite high and frankly, I wouldn't use physical gold as currency. I think have a paper currency back by gold is just as effective and infinitely cheaper.
Honestly wish the term "fractional gold" would fall by the wayside. Gold is gold. No gold bar is the ultimate size so, therefore, a fraction of what quantity? A kilo is just as fractional as a combi-bar. The term fractional gold really conveys nothing since it doesn't even indicate what fraction. You still have to break the discussion down into weight.
I purchased the WWII half ounce Gold commerative last year so I made a inquiry to one of the dealers at the coin show I went to this past Saturday. Please note I didn't have it with me I was only curious how much they were willing to pay for one and his price was a little lower than what I paid. I said there were only 7500 made and he told me no one gives a ( F&%$ )!!! My LCS offered me $1400 right after I bought it which was only a few bucks more than what it cost. I'm thinking I may ask if she's still willing to buy it for that and if so I'm going to pick up a 1/2 oz AGE and put the rest towards a 1/4 oz. Lesson learned 🧐
Wouldn’t it be better to stack Canadian gold in the US? I figure that if they try to confiscate and make a years illegal to have and sell, they really can’t do that for gold from another country. Like once a van is over and you go to sell a 2021 it would come into question why you have that year when they were confiscating they year after.
What when the government orders you to hand over your gold? Where's your savings then? Your supplier will give your purchase details to the government. I believe governments don't demand silver.. ..
I went to my LCS several years ago and all they had were 3 sealed 1/20 oz Pandas (1987). I bought all 3 for $70 apiece. Other that, fractionals are the way to go.
LMAO...you get fractional gold for ONE reason and ONE reason ONLY.....because your too damn broke to buy an Ounce+ at a time. That is is...NOTHING else makes sense because the premium you pay is just god awful.
Hey I have a great idea.......I am going to cut up a $100 bill into 10 pieces and then sell each piece for $13.......so you can buy all 10 pieces for $130 and you get your $100 back.! Same stupidity as buying fractional.

I did not start actually stacking until just a few years ago, and by then, the next 1/10 AGE I bought was $160 including premium.
The moral of this, is that metals will ALWAYS feel like they are expensive. That $38 back then represented a day and a half of pay. A 1/10 eagle now goes for about the same day and a half of pay for a blue collar fella....
I just got my adult son in to stacking metals, and I pushed him away from fractional gold....In my opinion, Silver is much more efficient for an emergency fund, plus there is always a much larger buyer market for it. If I had all the high premiums back from those 50 1/10oz eagle coins, I could have an extra 2oz of gold almost, for the same money (Which to me, is leaving opportunity on the table.)
The one advantage to gold is the portability of it. I can put $50k of gold in my pocket and walk all day. To carry the same value in silver, I would need a pack-mule or a car to haul it around. (under 2 pounds compared to over 120 pounds)
So I still stack gold, but only the 1oz Eagles (sticking with that coin until I hit my life-goal stack, then I may branch to other types of coins) - I still have that tube of 1/10 ounce eagles, and I likely will keep it, just because of how small the 5 ounces represents, and it could be hidden and transported so easily if you had to.
As for Silver, I have lowered my total stack goal I am shooting for (again, only ASE's for the stack) due to the weight and storage issue of it all. This year, due to the higher premiums, I have been buying a lot of semi-collectable silver, just for the enjoyment factor. I have picked up about 150 ounces of this stuff, but do not actually count it towards the stack, since I do some flipping with it, and the amount/types are pretty fluid.
Cheers!
You're right and make a lot of great points. Silver is an interesting perspective because while I agree with you there are more buyers, I personally don't sell it because of it's long term potential. Thanks for watching! 🙏
While I completely agree with you about the high premiums of smaller Gold AND Silver items, what happens when prices increase 5x or 10x from what they are now?
The problem with 1 Ounce Gold and 100 Ounce Silver bars is WHO will have the $15-30K on hand to buy your items.
Part of the reason for the lower premium on large items NOW, is that they are harder to sell them, as less people can afford them even at today's prices.
A 1/10 Oz Gold coin at 10x current spot would be $1,500- $2,000, while a 1 oz. would be $20,000.
A 100Oz Silver bar would be ~ $30 GRAND...
Something to think about.
@@9sec93lx Very true, - And I guess it would not hurt to have a small percentage of a persons total metals holdings in fractional stuff, But I would suggest having the stack at a somewhat significant level before going for the higher premium stuff (just because the stack can be grown faster)
I already have the 5oz of 1/10 gold eagles, and I guess there is no real need to swap them off right now, but personally, I will stick with 1oz denomination for everything going forward.....(Although the LCS has a 10oz gold bar right now, that I am really antsy to get - just for the sweetness factor - I have never had one, and in fact, have never held one.)
For silver, I do stack a couple hundred ounces of 10oz bars, plus $200 face value in junk silver, and the rest is in ASE's (with the exception of some semi-collectable silver I have been buying this year due to the higher premiums. (That stuff did not have a significant price hike, like ASE's have seen, so it feels more affordable) - I am almost to my stack goal with ASE's, (7 more tubes is all I need) and then I will work towards getting the junk face value to $500 before the year is over, then work to get it to $1000 in 2022.
When I reach that point, I am done except for just buying items that have eye-appeal to me.
As for the 10x gains though - I would be willing to bet my house that in my lifetime (maybe another 15 years based on my age/health) that we will not see 10x on gold. In fact, I doubt we will see it break $2400 over the next 5-7 years. And if metals did get a 10x or better increase in a very short term, (under 12 months) - the nation simply could not survive I don't think. - It would be a country of 1% of the population (the folks with metals to trade) against the other 99% (the ones with no metals, no food, no water purification abilities, etc)- we loose in ever situation and every time in that scenario...Basically, the "have-nots" will overwhelm the "have's" with vast numbers and a literal no-care of the outcome in any confrontation.
Now, if metals get a 10x or more over a long term, say 20 years (as it has done already) then it will not matter, because it will not be due to the increased cost in metals, but rather the depreciation of the dollar. (In other words, the people and LCS that are presently paying $1900 per ounce of gold, is based on their current supply of money. Once we see gold and silver go up by 10x over a longer period, it will be due to an even greater supply of money, and everything will adjust accordingly, along with the price of metals.)
Story time - When I was in high school, gold was $180 when it became legal to own again, and silver was around $4.50
My wage back then was $1.35/hr.
When gold made it's first big move, the recent grads were selling their class rings for $700 (that their parents paid $100 for) and my full-time job was suddenly paying $5.50'hr....Everything went up almost concurrently (with less than a year of catch-up time between the pay and cost of goods, etc) ... I think we are on pace to see the same effects as the 1980's - we may see metals make a move, but at the same time, everything else will go up, and more money will be printed, which only makes it look like the value of our metals have increased.
I use the silver quarter example...In 1960, you could buy a gallon of gas with a single silver quarter, plus a soda. Now, 60 years later, with that same silver quarter, we can still buy a gallon of gas and a soda, and in some cities, even a loaf of bread.
Nothing has changed with the silver - it did not become worth more, the cash used to buy those commodities has depreciated so it takes more of it to buy those things. (The silver quarter is still a silver quarter, and has the same buying power)
I do not think our country will ever see Venezuela type hyper-inflation, but if we do, then us folks with metals will be okay -- if we can figure out a way to trade it for the things we need to continue living, since we can not eat it or drink it. - And if we can figure out a way to keep from having it taken from us by superior numbers, etc
Course, if I am wrong and you are right, and we see a 10x over a very short term, then you can always holler "I told ya so!" hahaha
Thanks for your take and perspective on it - I always enjoying comparing views and trying to learn from everyone that posts.
Get a solid base stack of fractional pieces then start saving for full ounces after that
I like frac! Big part of my gold stack in fact most of it is frac! Agree with your take on frac and gold as savings!
My man 👊 Thanks for the love and support brother 😎🙏
I Saw a 1 troy ounce paladium canadian maple leaf . That's the most expensive coin i ever saw .
Yes, I agree with your assessment. I have acquired a half dozen 1/4 oz eagles over the last six months.
My experience with fractional Gold, is the Premiums !
Much Higher than 1oz Pieces.
Almost always this is the case.
True. But not everyone has 2k to throw down. I'd rather have small pieces than no pieces
Just wait and save enuff 1 oz
@@robertgoldstein52 you’ll get what you paid for them. The premiums aren’t a big deal because it’s legal US tender. It’s worth it for the liquidity of the 1/10 piece. The 1/10 is the most liquid gold coin in the US, despite the premiums
Compare it to silver, and fractional gold has a much lower premium.
Love the 0.10 Oz gold eagle. About as thick as a finger nail. Like little jewels.
It is a win-win situation it either increases in value or increases in asset
I’m with you. Love my pre-33 gold.
🙏🙏🙏
I will definitely look into more fractional options.
Only if it works for your situation. Thanks for watching!
one of my favorite videos on gold
spot on!
Most stores I know struggle to get gold and do not care about what coin you have. Also Krugerrands and Phil harmonics are very desirable according to several stores in my area.
In my opinion with today's demand the days of just maples and eagles being the only liquid coins is going to end. Good channel.
Agreed, I can find more buyers (easier) with fractional gold. I have stacked 1/10 oz from years ago. And now buying 1/4oz gold.
Love the 1/4 oz size. Great strategy! Thanks Eli
Stack the Fractional! Excellent video!
Thank you!
Got my 2008,1/10th Buffalo,good value
Oh damn, I'm jealous. I've been looking for those and they are near impossible to fine. Same with the 1/4 and 1/2 oz sizes. Good value indeed 👏
Good advice. I really like the peace of mind being my own bank. Can't beat it. If I need a loan I don't need the bank. Dept free and still stacking at a 30 to 1 silver to gold. Mostly 1/4 oz for the reasons you stated. I also love my 2 1/2, 5, and 10 dollar pre 33 gold collection which I don't consider part of my bank.
That's amazing! Good for you Richard 👏👏👏 Thanks for watching and keep on stacking🙏
Gold is money in itself. Currency is promise to pay. You are payed after you redeem currency for goods or services you want
Your two cents today are very good ones!
Thank you!
Don’t have any pre 33 yet but definitely on the fractional bullion train. Thank you for your insight ✊
👏👏👏👏 keep on stacking what you love. Thanks for watching! 😎👊
Hi Campbell coin,
I buy 11 month fractional 24k physical Gold bars. The 12 month I get more bigger bar. Sometimes I trade fractional to one big bar. I am strong believer in GOLD BARS STACKING. I believe in true 👍 money which is 24k gold bars.
Truth!
Your videos are great!
🙏🙏🙏 You're awesome! Thank you!
I have had the same experience with fractional gold - specifically 1/4oz Eagles. In 2013 after the last huge price surge, I decided to own some gold. When the price dipped and the cost of 1/4oz Eagles dropped below $300 I started buying them. As prices rose in 2020 I sold many of them - I made money on the gold content but I also made money on the premiums! On some of the sales, I made more percentage profit on the premium than I did on the gold content. Some people collect "assay packaged" eagles, they are easy to sell, and people feel sure they are getting real coins.
Great job man. Premiums can work to your advantage.
I went the fractional route Been at it for over 2 years. So many unusual coins under 1oz. Many that I purchased you dont see anymore on the bullion dealers sites. So hopefully made the right move.
Great video, first timer to your channel
Thank you! Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching! 🙏😎
If you look for grade C proof coin sets, they have red spot or some minor scratches, you get all or most of the fractional sizes at near bullion premiums.
You might not get a pristine box or minters leaflet, but you will get 1/2 sovereigns or 1/4oz and 1/10oz britannias.
Also a bonus, if you are not to fussy àbout which year you're wanting. Recently I ordered Chards Choice for 1/4oz britannias and I was sent 2 x 2008, Britannia riding a swirl of ocean surf.
Im a returning customer for a 2001 britannia, A commanding Britannia with a Lion stood at her feet.
I'm mostly just commenting because i know interaction is supposed to help the channel.
Anyway youtube just spat this video at me, never watched your content before. But I appreciate the information, seemed quite sound and logical.
The part about pet insurance specifically seemed good, I might have to see if I can lower expenses on things like car insurance if I wisely make use of the money being saved.
Your sacrifice to the algorithm gods is appreciated 🙏 Thanks for watching!
@@DrSchor For an example you could opt for going with just third party insurance instead of full coverage, or some companies allow you to have a lower yearly cost if you accept a larger excess in the event of an claim
Great video!
people bash whatever they've had a bad experience with or gotten a bad deal on. for years i stacked fractionals while i couldn't afford a lower premium large piece. when i finally had to sell i got the premiums back no problem. most people who bash any particular type of metal have done poor research or made a dumb deal they regret.
Absolutely! The snobs aren't looking at it through any other lens than their own. Thanks for watching!
I like the 1/10th oz proof American Gold Eagle. I know the premiums are high, but the design is beautiful and the proof finish makes the small size pop (in my eyes). I also think that if gold price continues to go up, the 1/10th oz size becomes easier to buy vs the larger sizes and will therefore have a larger base of buyer. That being said, I Ike the 1/4 oz as the “Goldilocks” size and value 👍 as premiums are still decent and relatively affordable.
Fractional gold and pre 33 is the way to go
I see you are also a man of sophistication as well. 😎🙏
What was great about gold currency dollars, is that you didn't need a savings account to see your wealth grow. Just holding the gold coins, saw your wealth increase. The Federal Reserve didn't like this and put an end to it
Happy Independence Day Weekend , Blessings :) QC
Happy Independence Day 🙏🇺🇸
my plan is sell my scrap gold anytime I want. but keep my gold and silver coins for retirement as you say harder to sell in a rush. but more valuable in the long term. 🙂👍
Sounds like a great plan! It's good to hear others confirm their stacking/collecting strategy matches my own. 🙏😎
Don't worry,...
I have an anvil and hardy,
I can get pretty close....
If you're going to fool around with fractional gold you may as well buy complete 10 oz bar 5 oz bar or silver rounds don't follow that fractional gold stuff get the saint gauodens and double eagles have be done with it
Question: what about the new goldback bills being sold as "local currency"?
Would it be a good pick in addition to gold eagle coins?
I have a number of videos covering the goldback. It should help answer your question, or solidify your own thoughts.
@@CampbellsCoins Thanks! I'll look those videos up.
You do have to be cautious about which LCS to go to though because a lot of them will buy the 1/10 ounce back at the same premium price that they would the one ounce. So there will be a loss in premium. Hopefully you can make up for it with an increased spot price tho.
Definitely. Shopping around is a must.
Good idea, pre 1933 gold 🤠😎
My favorites are the 1/10th ozt AGEs. If you know where to shop around to find the best prices, and you are aware of the fact that there are some bullion dealers who will pay as much as 10% over spot to buy them from you, you don't really lose out much on the premium. Especially if you invest responsibly and plan to hold on to them for many years. I'd much rather be adding a 1/10th AGE to my stack each month rather than trying to save up money for a year to buy a 1 ozt AGE and save some $100 on the premium. I think of it as a monthly convenience fee of $10 that allows me to stack more frequently and stay motivated to keep stacking. In turn, stacking frequently forces me to budget more carefully... thereby allowing me to stack more in the long run. Had I been trying to save up for a year to buy that 1 ozt AGE I'd probably be taking cash out from the savings here and there. When buying the 1/10th oz coins I lock that cash into the coins and cannot spend it. I also like how small they are, which makes it easier to hide and transport. And it's also more fun seeing a larger quantity of small coins rather than just a few big ones. And, of course, the divisibility factor is an advantage in a SHTF type scenario, if one were to ever happen, God forbid.
The last gold bullion coins I purchased were 1/4 gold Eagles.
Haha nice! Still not a fan of the design but many people are and that's what matters to me; Liquidity.
@@CampbellsCoins my LCS gave me proofs for uncirculated price. They are beautiful!
Local coin shop isn't in business to buy high and sell low, probably worst place to sell. If you have a good relationship with them they may pay you a fair price. Lol.
I collect historic Gold Sovereigns. It's the closest factional to spot I have found.
Hi Gunnar, I think you should get some current issue sovereigns, you might be somewhat unhappy about parting with some your historic collection.
Also there is a huge price difference.
@@harryzero1566 My LCS charges the same regardless of year. Last one was a 1912 at £325. Oh and he charges the same for proofs.
@@gunnargundersen3787 Wow I'm impressed. I've got a couple of Victorian and Elizabethen shield backs. Some proof grades, but mainly Elizabeth 2nd bullion grade.
Lots of duplicates to liquidate over the coming years of inflation.
You're right, however, silver provides you the same protection at a lower denomination.
I completely agree, but this wasn't about silver, just gold. I also don't sell any of my silver because I view it more valuable than gold in the sense of it's strategic importance. Gold is a tool, silver is everything. Appreciate you watching 😎👊

I just deposited a $61k check in my bank and couldn't use any of it for 7 days.
Really makes you go hmmmm.
Started stacking a little over a month ago not for the investment or profit but purely to save money. Currently got a 20 gram and 3 one grams
Campbell's Coins I had a similar situation by making a deposit but it wasn't cash it was a check made out to me but a different bank. I dont see a problem. As Rick Harrison would say in Pawn Stars, It's not that I don't trust you I just don't trust anyone.
I got a few 1/4 gram coins. They came in plastic cases. I'd take them out but I'd be worried they blow away.
Jesus 1/4 gr Didn"t know they made them that small
I agree that fractional gold is an excellent way to stack. I disagree with your comments about the commemorative gold pieces. These days, I can walk into any of my lcs’s with a handful of them and they will practically dive over the counter to buy them. They won’t pay AGE prices for them, but they will definitely pay over spot. With that being said, I realize that not all lcs guys are created equal. That is just one reason to really get to know these guys well. I hear UA-camrs badmouth (fractional) foreign gold all the time. In my area, I can sell gold British Sovereigns or any of the 20 franc coins for over spot all day long. I always enjoy hearing your thoughts and opinions, even if I don’t agree with all of them. It would be a boring world indeed if we all agreed on everything. 🙂✌️
I welcome it all and I really do appreciate your opinion and insights because comments like these help me make better videos for you all. Maybe there has been a change in the commemorative market. My LCS was selling commemorative gold pieces for 1% over spot. If they are selling for that amount, I know they are buying a few percentage points under spot. This was over this last weekend, which is why I felt comfortable using it as an example. Some people stack weight, not premium and could care less what's stamped on it. I'm in agreement with you on the fractional foreign gold. 20 Swiss francs are my jam. Plus they are in really good shape with really low premiums. Thanks for watching and the thoughtful comment 😎👊
@@CampbellsCoins JM Bullion usually has 10 or 20 Corona Austrian Gold Coins available for a very low premium. These coins are Re-strikes of earlier dates (1912-1915) and are in AU or better condition generally. The 10 Corona is .0980 Oz. Gold weight and the 20's are twice the weight at .1960 Oz. Gold weight. Slightly less (2%) than a 1/10 Oz coin and a MUCH lower cost per Gold oz. than ANY other coin available.

Do you feel “constitutional gold or silver”is less subject to confiscation than, say, bullion coins or bars etc., historically speaking?
Yes. Historically speaking, collectible gold or jewelry has been off limits to confiscation in the US. In other countries, no distinction is made, it's all taken. Check out my latest gold confiscation vid for other possibilities.
What are your views on gold back currency, Utah Nevada and New Hampshire goldbacks as a way to buy small amounts of gold?
It's a neat idea and it gets people to change their mindset on real money (gold). The premiums on them are quite high and frankly, I wouldn't use physical gold as currency. I think have a paper currency back by gold is just as effective and infinitely cheaper.
Hi. Thanks for your video and all the useful information. May I ask what premium do you usually pay for 1/4 gold Eagles?
Hi, I don't really pay attention to premium much. My average 1/4oz Eagle price is probably $530

Old gold is great, you can touch it without gloves.
With me fractional means fractions of 400 oz bars .. 😂 like kilos, 10 oz , 500 grams 100 grams etc
Haha nice
Wouldn’t the break always do well you buy a kilo or so then break away a gram or so to sell at higher prices
Thx
Montages are typically low. That is why I stack fractional Gold.
Honestly wish the term "fractional gold" would fall by the wayside. Gold is gold. No gold bar is the ultimate size so, therefore, a fraction of what quantity? A kilo is just as fractional as a combi-bar. The term fractional gold really conveys nothing since it doesn't even indicate what fraction. You still have to break the discussion down into weight.
I purchased the WWII half ounce Gold commerative last year so I made a inquiry to one of the dealers at the coin show I went to this past Saturday.
Please note I didn't have it with me I was only curious how much they were willing to pay for one and his price was a little lower than what I paid.
I said there were only 7500 made and he told me no one gives a ( F&%$ )!!!
My LCS offered me $1400 right after I bought it which was only a few bucks more than what it cost.
I'm thinking I may ask if she's still willing to buy it for that and if so I'm going to pick up a 1/2 oz AGE and put the rest towards a 1/4 oz.
Lesson learned 🧐

Silver is silver

Wouldn’t it be better to stack Canadian gold in the US? I figure that if they try to confiscate and make a years illegal to have and sell, they really can’t do that for gold from another country. Like once a van is over and you go to sell a 2021 it would come into question why you have that year when they were confiscating they year after.
The only gold you should hold is oz bars or coins.
That is certainly an opinion.
