Gold won't do you much good at the height of a crisis. That's when food, water, medical supplies, weapons, alcohol, tobacco, etc. will be the primary bartering tools. No crisis lasts for long, though, and when society stabilizes, the gold will help you get a head start in the new economy. Basically, if the US dollar falls apart, you can use your precious metals to buy whatever new currency replaces it.

If a major crisis never occurs, gold will very slowly climb in value, more or less matching inflation. It's a very safe investment, but with extremely low yield compared to traditional investment opportunities, so gold should only make up a small percentage of your investment portfolio (it's a financial final line of defense).

Exec membership gets 2% back, and Costco Citi card gets an additional 2% off. Plus you get the float on the credit card. No other dealer comes close.

Serious question, what's the point of collecting gold?

Can someone explain to me what you plan to do with these gold coins during a financial crisis or any situation really? Do you just go resell it at a jewelry store that buys gold? What's the process? Thanks.

I got one of these. It's a cool looking coin with a unique texture. Not buying gold at today's prices, though.

Back when gold was $300 an ounce โ€”these one ounce gold coins made sense โ€”but I am not sure they still do. Gold is only going up so unless you are bribing a NJ Senator โ€”a one ounce gold coin represents far more buying power and cash than most people would want to have tied up in one coin because you have to liquidate what is now a large position in gold if you sell this coin. I realize that a one ounce coin is mathematically the most cost effective way to buy gold but I do not think it is the smartest way to buy today. I have been buying gold since the late 1990s and I am paying the premium and buying 1/10th ounce Canadian Maple Leaf coins now.

Does Costco charge tax on gold coin purchases?

For survivial types gold will do nothing for you. YOu think that you will "survive" but others wont. Gold is a safe investment compared to what? One gold coin is going to start your life in a new economy? In a crisis people come to get your gold so they can do nothing with it. If this was the 1800s it might be different. Somebody must be doing some serious online spin about gold as some sort of safety net.

Good deal, but that's a bison. Can't buy a coin that makes that mistake!

My problem is that these costco deals are too big.

In a post-crisis, I probably would not want to liquidate that much gold in one shot. I'd rather have smaller, more spendable amounts - several bars of a gram or less.

Eh, I guess it depends on what you can and can't afford to lose. I max out all of my retirement options, have a diverse portfolio, etc and this is just a fun tangible investment of something physical to have. Even if gold tanks, getting one won't exactly be devastating at all.

If you were to take this to a gold buyer, ie jewelry store, you'll get about $500 for it.
