Gold bullion brands

No brand is inherently "better", as long as it's a recognized producer and includes an assay.

If you decide to sell, nobody is going to pay you a premium for a Valcambi bar over an APMEX bar. If they trust the content, they'll pay the same per oz no matter whose name is stamped on the outside.

No because owning physical gold is retarded, and therefore any minutiae associated with the activity are also retarded by proxy.

Why exactly do you find it retarded? Don't you think it is a good security for future? Savings for a dark day

OP you will have the last laugh when this shithead loses everything he has in a bank within the next 2-5 years.

I'm not even giving you 5 seconds of my time.

Stay impoverished.

Is it strange that these gold bars make me hard

>>1046187
recognized by who? where can i find a list of recognized producers?

>>1046678
Coin Shops
There really isn't a list of recognised producer
just look on multiple and look at what mints they carry. If they all carry the same mint, its good.
Pamp, Valcambi, RCM and Perth Mint are all highly recognised gold producers
>>1046603
no

Royal Canadian Mint
Valcambi
PAMP Suisse
Credit Suisse
APMEX
Johnson Mathey (Sold to Asahi, but bars still circulate)
Asahi
Sunshine Mint
Heraeus
Ohio Precious Metals

Those are some of the most well known.

But, really, gold is gold. Even if you walk into a coin or pawn shop with an unmarked lump of gold shaped like a vagina, the buyer can test it for purity and weigh it. They're buying the metal, not the name on the bar.

Bottom line, if you're going to buy physical precious metals, buy whatever you can find at the lowest premium over spot.

Not if you're Jewish

Assuming American currency becomes worthless, a better investment is bullets and plot of land 1000 miles away from anyone else. Gold is absolutely worthless especially in an apocalypse.

for some reason I didn't think they did gold
I don't know why

In Iran gold coins are a common gift among rich families, especially as wedding presents. My parents got around 100 gold coins as gifts for their wedding back when Iran was still a monarchy.

The fact that it's also an antique almost doubles it's price, although I don't know if this seller is just price gouging.

If you're looking to buy a few coins then these might be good long term investments as their rarity goes up when they exit circulation. Won't be hard to find a buyer either since Iranians fucking love their gold coins and anything that reminds them of pre-revolution Iran.
