Ok seeing as so many of these posts have been going around lately I have one I'd like to do.

Lunar horse vs PM 10oz bar!!

What would you rather buy and why?

Perth mint (bullion website)
10oz horse : $285.30
10oz PM bar : $246.30

Goldstackers
10oz horse : $270.50
10oz PM bar : $258.80

Perthmint bullion(bullionbourse)
10oz horse : $261.24
10oz PM bar : $251.01

My opinion:no idea :(
Lunar horse-
is more expensive. It poses more issues regarding storage, ie. space, keeping the capsule unscratched/uncracked, future spotting/toning could also be a downside.
On the upside, future potential is pretty good as it is a semi numis, not to mention it is a nice looking coin.

Perth mint 10oz bar-
Ranges around $1-4 per oz cheaper than horse but no potential gain over spot, easily recognised, good for storage, don't really have to worry about banging around
 
10oz Horses.

Regular bullion has not been treating me very well. Sticking to semi-numis or numis for the time being.
 
Horse of course... $10 extra will definitley be worth it.

Wouldn't be too worried about toning... Series 1 seem to be still looking good.
Storage shouldn't be much of any issue either. I just stack n wrap 'em 5 high, little bulky but Guardian Vaults do large SDB's that can easily store them

Thanks but i used pm because of their popularity/liquidity which I don't think Geiger is on pm's level(although they do look great)
 
It's an intersting topic, I have a view for both depending on which direction spot is going. If stop is on the way down as it has been for the last 18months or so, then semi numis is far better because it holds its value. Spot can go down $10 over an 18 month period but the Lunar coin is worth almost the same, in some cases it may be worth a little more (ie the dragons). If you had bought low premium bars 18 months ago, today there would be a significant loss if sold. Same idea with Perth Mint Proof coins. In a bear market, they keep their value and 18 months down the track you can sell and buy far more bullion for your buck, than 18 months earlier. In a bull market low premium bullion is a far far better buy, as a rise of $10 in spot will have increased your stack by say for arguments sake 30% (maybe more). However in a lot of cases the semi numis and proof coins would be worh the same, maybe a little more, but you would have lost the significant gains of buying low premium bullion. So the trick is to know where the market is headed. Sorry no crystal ball here, Cheers.
