Gold Certificates

    I noticed Gold Bullion dealers offer gold certificates in exchange for cash as an alternative to buying physical gold. These certificates can be exchanged in the future for money. The gold is held in a vault out abroad, and the certificate is proof of ownership.

    I think it's a good idea. Has anyone ever had one?

    Not Perth Mint Certificates but I do use Goldcore's unallocated gold and silver as part of my wider precious metals allocation. Lower premiums and so you get a lot more silver, in particular, for your investment. A useful way to buy in quickly when the price gets hammered down by the bullion banks; as has just occurred, was expected, and represented a good buying oportunity.

    After gold certificates and unallocated gold (I would only use Goldcore but there are other options), I would consider 1 ounce gold bars the best value. Extremely liquid and low premium.
