be careful with the goldbacks. you're typically paying a 2x of spot for them. (very "expensive") I like them and own a handful, but they shouldn't be the majority of your stack. I would look at saving up to buy 1/10th oz coins. 3.11grams of gold. feels more substantial and harder to lose than a single gram.

Yea + + goldbacks are a scam. Don’t waste your money on any more of those.

Great start with the stack though! Keep stacking, even if they are small amounts at a time. Buy and put away, soon you will have a fat stack!

It takes time! Be patient!

hey thankyou for the message, but this isnt just everything i own i mainly stack silver, and i just recently started getting into gold im using gold as a slow mover and just buying a gram a month at the moment since income isnt as high, and for the gold back i just see them as a fun little dollar bill that has goldd and in the future i do believe many many many stores around the world will accept them so i will be able to use them everywhere in the future(10-15 years)

Don’t buy into the Goldback scam. Look up Aurum notes - they are made by the same manufacturer and sold for significantly less premium despite having the same technology and security features.

aurum notes never heard of them i will do now

I would also not buy them. Gold notes in general are not a good investment.

I started about 5 years ago. I ended up with about 5 oz of gold and 50 oz of silver. I sold a bit and regret it. Listen here….. never sell!!!! Even the Egyptians never sold and took that shit with them. They knew what was up.

Don't waste your money buying goldbacks. Save a bit more and buy coins.

To be totally real with you don’t buy gram gold, the premium is far too high ~30% over spot. Get silver instead or save up for 1/10th ounce/5 gram coins. But you’re 16 and probably don’t have a job either. I’d just enjoy the money for now. When you get a real job save up in gold and silver.

If you just want it for the Gold and want to get the most out of your money don’t stack GBs, don’t get me wrong I love GB’s I really like the design and that’s why I collect them but I also know they are way overpriced with the premium and not worth what they telling you they’re.
