PAMP assay cards

Postby JadeDragon » Mon Feb 22, 2016 12:19 am

I'm thinking of buying more PAMP assay carded metal. Are the cards all the same size for fractional gold, platinum, and palladium regardless of metal or weight up to 1 ounce? How about the Stillwater and APMEX cards? Will they all fit in the same box?

Pretty sure the cards are all the same size. I used to buy the 1 gram gold bars then moved to buying the Perth Mint 1 gram carded bars. Cards are both same size between companies too. Maybe check out pictures of say, a 1 gram Pamp card and a 1 oz. They all have a millimeter scale on the back edge of the card. It may help you gauge things to be sure.

Good luck stacking.

I'm seeing advice that sellers want a big premium on the carded stuff but buyers don''t want it. Also watch out for fakes.

I was going to say, the Pamp gold bars in assay cards have been known to be counterfeited, so DYODD on the differences. I saved a screenshot from BS about this that I'll upload. I think natsb88 did the original post, and he also runs a great resource for this type of stuff at fakebullion.com

Personally I prefer Credit Suisse to Pamp, but I do have some Pamp in my stack as well which I examined more closely after finding out about this.
