I very much agree about the last point. That is both a reason to avoid the larger premium, but most of all, it is the reason I won't buy coins where weight and fineness is not specified.* *I do own one sovereign, and I might buy more. They are very recognisable though.

PM sent!

May I ask where you are finding these prices?

I know the Krugerrands are only 22k, but that is not an issue in Norway. Besides, it is the most recognised coin across the world. As I wrote earlier they will not be a focus, but if I come across one at a good price, sure! I have yet to find 1/10 for >10% over spot without some great offer or...

I will surely buy a krugerrand at some point if I get a good deal. I have considered buying 1/10 pandas as well, but I don't think the Norwegian market warrants it. I might still do it though. As you can tell by the thread, I'm still far from an expert. I can say 2000AUD equivalent seems steep...

You are right! I have compared, but I have yet to see any of those offer competitive prices. I will have a look next time as well. Considering the crash of the NOK, I think I will wait a little before I buy again anyway.

My first coin was a maple leaf! In order to save more, and have some fun while saving, I need to buy different coins. At least for now. There is VAT (25%) on bars, medals and anything that isn't, or hasn't been, legal tender in the country where it was minted.

Good points. As I wrote in posts #4 and #6, I have researched the premiums/liquidity in the second hand market. I didn't write it in the original post, but the difference in spread is truly negligible for the "bullion" category. For the second category, the spread is much more of an issue...

Thank you. I haven't done any "research" on the lunars, as they are quite expensive (at least the 1oz), and I don't really like them. On the pandas, it seems like 1/10oz command the highest premium/spot, with 1/4oz as a close second. If one can get them for 1oz bullion premium prices, of...

If a good opportunity presents itself (ie. low premiums), I will gladly go for fractional coins. I listed kangaroos as nuggets, as that is what they are called by the dealer i referred to. I have been watching the second hand market in Norway recently, and I think I have spotted an important...

Not sure where to post this, so I'm doing it here. Has anyone here bought sealed random year pandas from apmex? Looking through their stock, it's quite easy to see which two (or three) coins that you can "randomly" get, but thats okay. What worries me is that I had have read many times that...

Those 50 pesos looks fantastic! As you advised me in my first (and only) thread in here, I want to buy one of those as my next addition. As they are probably slightly harder to sell at some point, I really cannot justify it if they are not close to perfect. You haven't bought yours from Apmex...

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this question, but I don't want to start a new thread every time I write something. I have the opportunity to buy a 1oz gold libertad (2002) graded MS68 by NGC. I don't really care about grading, but I prefer my coins to look new. Does a MS68...

Thank you! I have bought a panda, a maple leaf and an eagle so far. The latter I bought second hand for less than 2% over spot. I know the second category can appreciate more, but do people here think its worth it for the prices listed? Otherwise I will rather wait for a good opportunity second...

Hello there. I have very recently decided to invest in gold bullion. I have made a few purchases already, but from here on out I will be more analytical in my approach. I have found one dealer in Norway that has a decent selection with, from what I can tell, acceptable prices. What I would like...
