    I agree very much.

    The way I see it is that if gold 'hypothetically' pentupled (went up 5x the price), then even a 1oz coin/bar would be well above the $5000 ID threshold. This makes it a pain for some.

    A 1/2oz coin would not have the same problem. And a 1/10oz coin might just be more liquid at crazy prices.

    That said, i'm being hypothetical and assuming that rules won't change.

    Black Sun, How long a gold coin takes to get the stain?
    Will the blood spot eventually appear even it is in a capsule? Can we do something to prevent it?

    Victorian gold sov, still got it and hopefully will add to it soon. I know what you mean about stacking in the UK - silver is great but with VAT gold seems more sensible, however I like poured silver bars, catch 22.

    My first gold purchase was an ainslie bullion 1oz ... I like the poured lookin stuff more than coins, adds to the industrial feel like what metal should be :)
    I also like industrial heavy metal... But that's another topic lol
