Gold Coin Size

Hi guys, I have a question? I would love to own some kind of a gold coin. I see 1/20 oz and 1/10 oz and such, But how do they compare in size to like a 1 oz, Or any other modern coin? I know you will pay more for smaller amounts and such, I would just like to own something other than jewelry gold, LOL

Don't sneeze around 1/20th oz gold coins.

 

The 1/10 oz is the size of a dime.

 

How about thickness is that dif as well?

 

You will also pay a higher premium buying the smaller coins than saving up to buy the larger ones.

 

The smaller 1/10th & 1/20th looks much smaller in hand compared to the 1oz the pics above. LOL
I'd be afraid I would lose a 1/20th when my eyes blinked.

 

I like the 10th oz. AGE.

 

I am thinking quarter ounce, Whats that about the size of a nickle?

 

I have looked at them as well it will probably be one of them or 1/4 when I actually push the buy button .

 

I'm a big fan of Sovereigns. They are .2354 ounces of Au. Smaller premium for the Au than AGEs.

 

1/10th is the smallest I would go, 1/20th I would need to be slabbed already not to lose.

1/4 that you're considering is a nice size.

 

Buying 10 1/10 oz coins will cost almost a couple hundred more than buying one 1 oz coin.

A good size is 1/2 or 1/4 if you want to be able to appreciate it. Any smaller and it could literally fall through a drain hole in your shower.

 

So that would be just under 1/4 oz correct ? Not bad and provident has them.

 

Why not pick a nice $ 2.50 Indian Head

Look at some of them in jwitten's threads https://www.cointalk.com/threads/toned-gold.256525/#post-2036580

 

Yes 1/4 ounce is .25.
Everyone should have a 1 ounce piece just to flip around and feel the weight of.

 

You take bath/showers with your coin collection ?

I've heard of showering oneself with silver and gold but ...

 

Come on we all now every one of us would Scrooge McDuck style swim in gold coins if we could lol.

 

The size of a 1/20 oz. Gold is the same as a 3 cent silver, if you have one of those.
