    1gm perth mint certicards?

    I cant afford much gold so only buy 1/10ths but I could afford to throw in a 1gm certicard with my silver gold order for the same postage.

    Bad idea?

    Thanks

    I wouldn't buy 1g. Remember the smaller the item the larger the premium.
    Pool your money and wait to make a larger purchase.

    why buy a certicard when you can buy a 1g maple for a few dollars less.
    at least the years change so it's an affordable collection to keep going with and only 2 years of release so far.

    Ironically what you can afford is an expensive way to buy. Plot the premiums. Yes, you save on duplicated postage, but there are more economical ways - $200 RAMs, Sovs, half Sovs, should all be obtainable at under 5% premium with luck.

    As previously mentioned, I would try to buy in bigger sizes to avoid so much in premiums.
    You'll hold a lot more metal for the same amount of $ by doing it this way.

    that is were having a unallocated account comes in handy

    at the moment gold stackers has a 1 gram certicard for $ 62

    unallocated 1 gram gold is $ 51.45

    save those 1 grams up to buy something bigger

    simples

    That's a terrible way to do it, how boring.
    may aswell just put exactly what you want on laybuy and pay it off.

    The OP is already buying 1/10's and just wants to add a touch more in the package so it's a great addition, a little 1 gram.
    adds to the stack instantly, having money tied up in bullion is one thing, having it tied up in limbo with a dealer and not holding anything but a receipt is another.

    The smallest you should buy is 5 g, but preferably you should bring it up to 10 g.

    5 g costs a lot more per gram than 10 g.

    It's the 10 g Certicard bullion that still has a reasonable price per gram. Anything smaller will get you pay a lot more per gram.

    I have a few maple grams already, I just thought spending an extra $60 odd on my small orders isnt going to break the bank.

    I buy 1/10th a month on top of my silver but if I was faced with 1/4 gold or above initial outlay I probably wouldn't buy at all.

    Anyway I have started and added a 1 gram certicard to my latest order :) Should keep the bullion dealer happy lol
