When buyin gold for investment purposes is a gram of gold flakes worth the same as a gram of of gold in coin?

I am trying to find out if buying gold flakes or gold wire is worth it, whether it is the same as buying the equivalent in a gold coin etc. I have a chance to buy an ounce in gold flakes and I am trying to find out what it is worth. Being that an ounce of gold is going for about a thousand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

An ounce is an ounce - but coins are easier to buy and sell, they are the standard.

Aside from that - now is not the time to be buying gold.

lol i dont think gold flakes are a smart way to go...it's for eating...not something that i think will be very popular...hm maybe 1% of the population will eat gold flakes...i mean comon lol

Gold coins are worth more because they are relics but they are hardly ever pure And if you live in Tasmainia i know a place were can mine about 2 ounces of gold a day

An ounce of gold if an ounce of gold--flakes or wire.

ehh re:gold ... 28 oz of pure 24k gold is probably worth close to a thousand bucks currently however you melt it

but know logic would say this is a seller's market ... however there are some who think it may rise to 6 or 8k $ ... i dunno

gold is a great substitute for old fashioned swiss banking, if you have a good place to hide it, that no one knows of

only other options are diamonds (worthless really but ... another story) .. and coltan ... then ur other precious metals

when buying gold, i personally say go for maple leafs or swiss rectangles lol .. the other coins are mixed with junk metals .. krugerands, american eagles etc
