I don't recommend holding gold in your basement. Gold should be held as ALLOCATED 400 ounce London good delivery bars, worth about $640,000 each with one of the seven members of the LBMA who are dealers, assayers and storage houses. These are five major banks plus Brinks and Via Mat. Storage and insurance on this basis is cheaper, totaling around 0.12% per year, plus these bars are the most liquid/tradeable form. My preference is HSBC.
Kennie, that’s no fun!
24K coins, whatever the size, can be placed in 18k bezels and attached to bracelets, cufflinks, necklaces, buttons, you name it - but I wouldn’t wear them out and about in certain venues lest one be mugged.
I’m particularly fond of the small gold coins minted by the Isle of Mann, the ones with the different cat breeds on them.
