Go to a coin shop and buy U.S. 1/10 oz bullion coins. They’re about the size of a dime. You should pay spot price plus a couple of percent.
More like 4-5 % when you buy and 5% to sell it back to them. So, it has to appreciate 10% to break even! Buy ammo, it is marked up, but with 3 years of Xiben it ain’t coming down.
Agree completely on 1/10 oz. US Eagles.
While tungsten has similar density as gold and has been used in an attempt to forge gold bars, it’s almost impossible to forge a 1/10 oz. coin. Tungsten is very brittle, unlike gold.
If/when you want to sell, a dealer/buyer would buy them from you with a quick visual inspection, such as examining them with a loupe.
