Cheapest Tube of Gold coins

[Mcgrimes]

So, I'm looking to buy an amount of bullion that looks complete,

With this in mind, I've been looking to buy 20x 1/10  Philharmonikers as I like the idea of owning a tube,

But, goldline are doing 1/10 gold maples for a bit cheaper, but these come in crummy sealed packets,

Whats my best chance at owning a nice shiny tube of gold coins?

i would get the Maples, especially if you can get them at a better price and then put them in capsules.

i suspect in due course if and when you come to sell, your coins will be in good condition [encapsulated coins present better and so sell better] and my feeling is they will fetch a better price than the Philharmonics.

You can still probably find a tube or tubes that will take coins in capsules.

I appreciate this, but there's something about a sealed tube that I like; I love tubes of 1/4 silver Noah's!

I recognise that the maples are the better investment; from being a better price, being more sought after and ending up in better condition.

I like the fact that a sealed tube would be compact

The 1/10oz gold Maples and Philharmonics are the same diameter [16mm] so you could get a Philharmonic tube and they would be compact.

i still think putting 999 purity [soft] gold coins in a capsule is the best idea in the long run unless concealment is the goal.

I have a 1/10 gold maple for sale in the classifieds. It already comes in the capsule but I'd let you have the tube as well to start you off?

Sorted I'd say

The philharmonics are a pretty good coin in gold and so is the maple in gold IMO.  If i was you i would buy one of each and see for yourself which you prefer.  The philharmonics sell quite well in Europe. 

You could always get both with a view of a long term goal  stack of 2 tubes

I'm not sure fractional today prices can be trusted in years to come, i like gold kangaroo's but i do not buy them any more, they are very well made they just do not return.
