Most credible, most liquid bullion?

Postby Day9 » Thu Mar 21, 2013 7:18 pm

So we know that it is much easier to find a buyer for your American Silver Eagles than it is to find one for your 1oz Elvis Presley Generic Rounds.

My question is: What types of bullion, for both gold and silver, are among this top tier of credibility and liquidity?

American Silver/Gold Eagles? Canadian Maple Leafs? Krugerrands? PAMP Bars?

What is the "Gold Standard" of bullion?

Thanks! :thumbup:

Any Rodebaugh product.

Seriously.

Post any one of those at spot +$5 and it's gone in microseconds.

Post Eagles at Spot +$3 and it will take a bit and you might have to eat the shipping.

I'll buy your Elvis rounds for spot + shipping! Also happy to trade my Eagles for PAMP bars ounce for ounce!

I am from the U.S. but I lean towards Maple Leafs. Purer (gold and silver) and markups are less.

credible and liquid... do a search for "london good delivery bars"

Talk to Joe Shmoe, and he'll say "Eagles" if he is from America, "Maples" if he is Canadian, "Krugerrands" if he is European or African, or "Pandas" if he is Chinese. If you are dealing small, then native government rounds will be the most recognized. But as you move up the scale of size of deal, the producer of the metal disc/bar matters less...

Maples, ASE's for govt stuff, but I would spend my money on englehard's first when given a choice. I just like them.

And I like proof 90% stuff too, and the premiums are rising on them.

I'm a small potatoes buyer, until I get the mortgage paid off anyway. Once that is gone, I will really be able to stack, if the world hasn't fallen off the cliff yet. Lol.

Agree
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.

I agree Eagles but the Pandas do hold a pretty good premium. I buy them when ever my local coin dealer has them.

One ounce Elvis rounds, but only if it pictures him before he “went all Vegas”.
