It is very easy to buy 1oz of silver. Almost everyone can do it.
What about gold ? 1oz of gold is much more expensive and very few can afford it.
So why don't we buy gold in small fractions ? I will show you now some very small fractions of gold, all bought on Ebay.
Some are officially minted, others are minted by private mints.
The first was a private mint commemoration of Europa 2000 (58.5%, 0.5g). The second was issed by the government of Liberia and commemorates the Pope John Paul II (58.5%, 0.5g, mintage 20,000). The third commemorates the foundation of a German soccer club, the Borussia Dortmund (private mint) (58.5%, 0.5g, mintage 9,999).
Sorry, but I could not remove the stain on the capsule.
For those who can spend a little more, here are three coins issued by Liberia commemorating three World Names : Friedrich v.Schiller, Mother Teresa and Albert Einstein. All are 99.9% gold, 0.73g with mintage 20,000 each.
Finally two rounds issued by private mints. I don't know what the first commemorate, but it is a 58.5% gold, 0.8g. The second commemorates Friedrich the Great, 58.5%gold, 1.56g, mintage 989.
So, what prevent us from having gold in our stack ?
I have noticed that few people comment. Why not comment ? It is the way to change ideas and, for me, to know what you are thinking about the articles.
Tomorrow we will talk about the Sacagawea Dollars.
