    As the title says but this would be for a store of value to hold its own over 25-30yrs ?

    Cheers, HAPPY STACKING :)

    1000 x 1oz bars of gold would be easier to sell. :)

    I prefer my gold in gold colour form. I think they would be the easiest to offload. Avoid the rose, white, green and red/pink golds.

    Low premium gold in recognisable form imho.

    Reasoning is that if you buy higher premium coins and hold them for that amount of time you could see a return above your preserved wealth, but you pay the opportunity cost of that premium being tied up for 25 years. You might be better up freeing that extra money to invest elsewhere, help build up a deposit or pay down debt.

    As close to spot as possible, because that's all you'll get for it when you go to sell it.

    I would say it's better to hold a half amount in small bars (1 oz etc). It might be RCM gold bars or Pamp Suisse.... When you have small ones you always can sell one of them in case of need.
    And another part should be kept in 1kg bars - just to store value. Then you will not pay extra money and save in future

    Doesn't matter at all which form of gold.
    All the forms mentioned will do the job.
    All that matters is the price you pay for your gold.

    If in Canada, why not gold Maple Leaf bullion coins?
