Thinking of buying

[Parcelsilver]

I've no gold bars to date just coins. I'm thinking of getting the below I always fancied a cast bar. Just looking for some opinions from you guys on what you think of this bar. Would be my biggest single purchase and a large chunk of my savings. On another note I asked atkinsons if they could put the prices in Euro they said its on the to do list.

However you imagine it, imagine it much smaller.

I quite like cast bars, but when I think about all the coins I could get instead the idea of getting one is dismissed

 

Mr dead on here has a cast bar or two I believe, I might try and find his thread to show you 

 

As HH said 50g is quite small, says the Dimensions: 33 x 19.5 x 5.3mm, still a nice little lump though 

 

Edit> here you go, mr-dead has a couple of 100g bars, can see what they look like in hand here

It's a great bar but will be small.  Same size as a 25g silver bar or so.

To try and help put things in perspective before you make the plunge.  100g Silver bar so the gold will be 1/4 the size.  Next to a 10p piece.  Forgot to add the 3d element before rubbing off the lines.  Anyway, gives you a little idea of size.

Thanks for the comments guys. I have some 2rand coins, 10 peso's, lunar horse set, eagles and just wanted a nice bar I guess. I release it is quite small though but for me I've no coins that I'm rushing out to buy a little disappointed with 2015 lunars so getting a bar has been on my mind. I won't rush it

Funny that I do not own one bar, in Gold or Silver, I like coins.

Id really like a nice bar, but cant afford a gold one and cant justify the premiums on a silver one..

[Parcelsilver]

Not many 1oz cast bars around. I love the perth mint ones but impossible to find over here.

Keep an eye open for Atlantis Mint hand poured ingots. 

 

http://www.atlantismint.com/index.php/silver/hand-poured.html

 

There are a fair few US sellers, and some of whom will ship to the UK.

 

Range is being extended to increase the variety of mint marks ( dragon, tiger etc). As bars go these are as cheap as you will get.  Very tactile in the hand.

 

 I have a fair few of the 1 oz, but this 10 oz looks the bees-knees

I ordered one of each bar last week. Just waiting for them to ship. I love poured bars

[Lindeman]

Great topic. I have also never bought a bar, and missed the gold price drop for a chance to buy one. But I love those Atlantis 1 oz bars! Thanks ArtgGoch - never come across Atlantis before.

Was looking at the 100g silver Metalor or Scottsdale poured, or 10 g Scottsdale Reserve bars, but I have to say in may get some Atlantis bars first!

[Parcelsilver]

I'm starting to go off the idea now reading what others are saying. Maybe I should wait and get a 100g pamp but I need my gold fix soon. Might just get some more coins. I collect in 5's so might pick a coin and start collecting! Thanks for all the replies.

Not impossible if you know where to look

p.s. go for it on the 100g poured bars, they feel great in the hand

Have you dealt with them before?

[HelpingHands]

I have. Never again.

[Parcelsilver]

I have. Never again.

Thanks for the heads up.

[mr-dead]

Ive purchased off them a few times and never had an issue, not as quick as atkinsons shipping but arrived within a week.

 

About to place an order for gold libertad with them.

[HelpingHands]

Maybe they've improved but 18 months ago I ordered kooks. After weeks of waiting I offered to take alternatives. They suggested koalas. I wait some weeks more to receive an international package with VAT and handling to pay. Strange since they are based in the UK.

[Shamatti]

Dude I love that bar, I'd sell a kidney for one of those! lol But for me it is too much money in a single lump. I don't know what else you have in your stack of course, but I don't have anything over 1 ounce.

Hi mr-dead,

I was mailing them about the gold Libertads as well. Did you get one? I ask, because when I probed them on what years they had they admitted they have none currently in stock - so I guess they source them from somewhere else. Also would not say what year or design, which frustrated me. Don't like paying > £800 for a lucky dip....

[Pipers]

The Gold Libertads are not easy to get hold of, I bought one 2014 from coininvest when the spot price was higher I paid £830 for the last one.  If you guys want a Gold Libertad go onto Germany's Gold.de  would be the place to go and be prepared to spend £850.

 

 Use the dealer list on this forum to choose a good dealer.

Good to know Pipers.

Now , this admittedly more a case of "dreaming of buying" rather than "Thinking of buying" - but feast your eyes on this little Xmas Libertad gold selection box...

Will not be bidding myself!
