    Which do you guys reckon is the nicest oz bar for Gold out there on the market. We could all have our ABC lumps, but I'm keen on some sexy ones for my EOFY buy-in...

    Currently tossing up between the PAMP Lady Fortuna and the UBS/Hereaus Kinebar. Which would you go for? Or do you have an alternative?

    Lets see some beautiful sexy ounces... :D

    I like the PAMP - not only is it a sexy bar it's easy to get here in Australia, which can go along way due to the lack of frustration factor.

    Sounds silly but I recently got a Morris & Watson 1oz poured bar in a deal and there's just something about the proportions. Dunno, for me gold is either meant to be poured or coined.

    You could always track down one of the old Perth Mint Oriana bars:

    The orianas are sexy, I'd pay the same price as I would for a PAMP.

    Giving me ideas now GP, I'm gonna have a little harem of ladies come July... :)

    Understand what you're saying GP, but a poured 1 oz ingot is just so ... small. Now here's a poured one I like, coz it's bigger.

    Now THAT is nice projack - I love the little taurus-looking symbol over the issue number. Beautiful piece... what am I looking at for one of those? as much as a PAMP/Kinebar or less?

    Two Tael = two ounce? I'm thinking about 2+ ounces dependent on how liquid I am at the EOFY... battening down the hatches and promised myself no more purchases other than the ones I have pending at the moment...

    Hi all,

    First post! Anyway the PAMPs are beautiful and obviously the lower premium is appealing but the Kinebar is a superior looking bar I think...That said, any Swiss gold is ok by me!
