PAMP gold bars

Does anyone have experience with PAMP gold bars? Is this as good as buying bullion?

PAMP bars are normally sealed in plastic and make verification more difficult. I recommend sticking to bullion coins as they are easily handled and verified by dealers if you ever want to sell them or by yourself if you are a buyer. Look for American Eagles, Krugerrands or Canadian Maple Leafs. Other offerings from Austria, Australia or British Sovereigns are other options but not as good as the first three. Try to buy 1oz. sizes as they have far less markup than smaller sizes.

I like Pamp gold, If you buy it from a reputable dealer its fine. It seems to me that it is not hard to sell.

Now that being said I have bought Pamp bullion from a reputable dealer that is local. I keep sales receipts etc. I like the way it is packaged. I do not plan on ever selling or trading this gold (core gold). I also have GTU to make my allocation to gold 25%.  It is the GTU holding that I will use to rebalance with.
