    Hey everyone!

    I know it's all just personal opinion, but I'm looking for some opinions and informed knowledge about:
    500g (1/2kg) Pamp fortunas and how they are considered without their cert and handled?
    How would you compare that to a minted Geiger 500g bar?

    Or would you skip the lot and just go for a kilo bar, or minted smaller coins (5oz & 10oz)?

    Don't see 500g being traded much.

    10oz, 1kg and 100oz would be the main ones, so if you intend to sell you might want to stay with those. Some 1oz, 5oz and 20oz bars get traded too...

    I would only consider buying 1 x 500g/1000g PAMP bar just for collection's sake.

    And then I would get bored of it and realise that it would be hard to sell off cos of their premium.

    I've had a 500g Pamp before and had no trouble selling it, however it was in untouched condition.
    The premiums on them are ridiculous, but the trade-ins (handled, without cert) are relatively cheap in comparison to other bars

    Just wondering how they go for resale without their cert and having been handled; I'm assuming as a regular bullion bar + hold a bit of a premium still?

    Meh, probably just the same as any other regular bullion bar.

    Pamp bars are so hard to sell over here if you lose the COA!

    Site sponsor currently has these two bars side by side.
    The fortuna price (without cert) is virtually the same as the new geiger price.
    I cant see one premium rising significantly over the other,,so go with the pamp since it looks nicer.
