For Coin/Gold Collectors. The 1 oz 2015 Valcambi Armillary Gold Coin

This is the coolest coin I've ever seen.

It can be broken down into 1/4oz pieces for fractional spending/trade or used as a 1oz whole. Purity: 9999

Just came across this in my daily silver search which I think some may find interesting. It's a beautiful piece of art.



From the armillary sphere, invented by Erathosthenes circa 200 B.C. An armillary sphere is a model of a globe that is split along it's equator and other meridians.

WOW that's awesome! Great find, it's cool how they were able to divide it into quarters with all different dimensions. What a piece of art!

Yeah it's pretty but at approx. $300 over spot I won't be buying as an investment.

Very cool. I've only before seen the breakable credit card style ones before.
Unfortunately, I'm only able to afford fractions of an ounce per purchase these days. But little by little....

Fractions do cost more but if that's what a person can get...

I'd be careful tho. The desire to hold the gold at a fraction can be investment prohibitive.

Yeah, I like my Canadian Maples, American Eagles of silver/gold and am sometimes willing to pay just around spot price just because I like what I like, but that's some markup.

I do love silver because of the low price ($15/oz about) and affordability, but if I were bringing in the bucks I would definitely be investing in platinum, gold, palladium as well.

Right now I have very little gold but a decent amount of silver. We'll see what comes of the september financial doom before I know what to get next

Yeah, I got the bug and have become a silver stacker.

My last foray was in 2009 when low was the norm. I sold in 2011 at the height and did very well so here we are again.

Silver is always the way to get some investment for us little guys. I pick it up at flea markets, online and private sellers. I can usually save a few bucks this way.
