Hmmm, why is this more expensive than a 1 oz gold bar? This coin has 91.67% gold in it whereas bars have 99.9% gold.

Anyone, even a complete newbie to the gold investment space would know this as it's Gold 101. It's like saying the sky is blue Lol

This folks is how you know we're nearing the peak.
