Best Deal right now on Gold

[Kriegsspiel]

It's good to know SDBullion has regular sales, I'll make sure to check them next time I am buying. I'd like to now, after reading about the newest stimulus bill, but I'm quite overweight gold as it is.

Now isn't the time for a diet Herr Wargame

These are back on sale:

fractional, US mint, legal US tender, collectible variety, about 2% over spot.

It really doesn't get much better.

My first two were the statue of liberty and an eagle.

I'm going to order more today, just not sure how many.

What’s the benefit of “legal tender?” You can’t use these as cash in a transaction or redeem them for cash at a bank, can you?

Legal tender has different tax implications.

It doesn't make sense to buy gold when I'm flirting with the 35% band.

This is one of the only times that I'd actually wanting to buy the overweight asset. Back when I rebalanced out of stocks, I was only too happy to unload them.

Def do not use a $465 coin for a $5 purchase

Wow 35% even with the ridiculous (my opinion) run up in stocks?

[Kriegsspiel]

Well, gold's had a good run recently as well. I also don't auto-reinvest dividends or interest, which skews my results compared to other people.

One thing I've thought of doing is buying low-mintage, graded proof gold from countries other than the United States. There are times when you can get them for close to melt. I wouldn't do it with more than, say, 25% of my gold allocation because these coins are not nearly as recognizable as the common bullion issues. But the low premiums over spot, combined with the possibility of price appreciation, has me tempted.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Not familiar with the concept. Intriguing.

What are some examples of:

low-mintage, graded proof gold from countries other than the United States.

On the surface, it looks like a free option. My favorite thing.
Won't ever be less valuable than spot, might be more valuable at some point.

Can you give any examples? I can't think of any gold product that fits this description. I thought i knew just about every coin out there.

Here is a good example: https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/wor ... id-1529612

Same specifications as a UK Sovereign. With patience you can find these close to melt; and look at those mintages!
