    Yay, ebay sales are ticking over & my paypal is filling up!
    I got enough in there to make my first 10 oz purchase! [​IMG]

    which one should I buy?
    which of these 3 moves easier incase I need to?
    i'm stacking longer term so which could have the highest premium in 15 years?

    This 10oz Bar @ $324.63 now $324.15

    [​IMG]

    This 10oz Coin @ $340.92 now $328.47

    [​IMG]

    10 x 1oz Coins @$340.92

    [​IMG]

    My thoughts are the bar is nice and something i'd like to stack for the fun of piling them up like a real high flyer.
    the 10oz coin is not as exciting for me, but being a minted coin ect ect and a nice design, maybe these would command a higher
    premium when the next issue comes out and these will be harder to find?
    the 1oz coins go hand in hand with my side SHTF hobby, I will always be buying 1oz coins so maybe I should start with what most likely i'm
    going to go with?

    I have a 10oz Kook, 2001 I think and it is stunning, not that 10oz bars aren't nice too but the detail and look of the Kook is just sooooooo nummy.
    Have to agree and say that at the moment the site sponsors do have 'better' prices than ebay and I can't fault the ones I've delt with for great servce, I'm looking to secure my second 10oz coin soon, maybe for mothers day ......... if hubby knows whats good for him. :p

    kook because you prefer them or is there a more logical reason?

    If you offered me dragons @ half price, i'm not in.
    my year of birth isn't a dragon for a start and i'm not chinese, I don't follow chinese years or cultures,
    i'd prefer a start sign but that's lame, nope, not into current fads, especially ones with 12 year cycles! :D

    10oz coins are my least favorite so i'll wait until more people convince me to buy the bar or the 10 x 1oz coins :p

    For the very small premium of a 10oz coin over a bar, you'll find future saleability far better (after watching what sells easily here without constant bumping). I'd go the 10oz dragon too, purely for the slight desirability over the others, but the kook would be good too. Ozbullion has had some excellent prices on the 10oz coins just recently too.

    Disclaimer: I have way more 10oz bars than 10oz coins, but wish it was the other way around. It's just that that was my thinking when I started (ie buy bars) - after a while I realised the "extra" for a coin over the bar is so small it's worth it - and Joe Punter is probably going to "see" more value in the pretty coins if you have to sell in a hurry ever (hope not!!).

    If you get 10oz Dragons given to you as a gift, I'll happily take then all off your hands at half-price :p ... heck 60% even!

    did someone here check out my auctions?
    some good buy it now's in the time!
    hmmm.. maybe I can make a bigger purchase now and get one bar and one 10oz coin.

    I have no idea what they would even feel like, maybe i'll get one of each and see how they feel and look in hand.

    what's the chances of silver going up in 24 hours or so?
    i'd have to wait on payments to finalise but I feel it's all gonna go back up quick.

    i'd get the bar. the coins should have a much higher premium in 15 years but thats a long time to hold onto some coins. you cant as easily bury them in the backyard, the 10oz capsules can crack and be a hassle to replace. the koalas are just ugly.
    buy a 10oz coin and a 10oz bar to see which suits you better, you cant go too wrong with either of those purchases
