Jewelry generally isn’t a good investment - it usually sells for considerably above bullion value. However, if you purchase used jewelry, you can sometimes get bargains. Jewelry with real coins can be a deal. For quick calculations, remember 1 troy ounce is approximately 31 grams and take karat value into account. Ten ounces of 18kt gold is only 7.5 ounces of actual gold weight.

Have fun!

Thanks for the info.

On the site that was posted above, can one buy gold coins in small amounts? For instance, if you don’t have a large amount of money to invest at one time. Does the gov’t track these purchases?

I have always read that if there ever was a big disaster that gold would be the only thing available to use to buy or barter with.
