Perth Mint 1oz Cast Gold Bar for $20 over Spot (~ $1647 AUD)

160

Following on from the PAMP Lady Fortuna deal - here is another way to buy some more discount gold bullion.

Perth mint has a current offer to purchase their 1 oz cast bars for only $20 over spot (spot gold is ~$1627 AUD). While Perth locals can go in and buy in person, you will either have to pay to get this posted ($17.50 minimum shipping), or pay for storage. This may kill the deal for those who only want to order 1 oz.

Quantity is "while stocks last" & trading hours are not the weekend - so you'll have to wait till Monday to purchase these.

    Perth Mint has reduced the premium on its 1oz Gold Cast bar from $35 to just $20, while stocks last.

    If your planning on spending that much on gold, you better off opening a trading/forex account and trade gold with leverage

      Well that is a different thing altogether from owning physical gold.

      Perhaps I'm just a suspicious type, but I don't trust those forex guys at all either - and leverage is a good way to blow up your account.

      • Maybe comm sec allows you to buy gold

        Forex is fine. I've used it before and made money from them, I once made 3k overnight

        Actually I like the idea of leverage. You will only blow your money if you trade irrationally

          how many times did you lose it?

          I once made 3k overnight.
          Any Screenshot?

        • That actually makes you sound like a problem gambler.

        • @Diji1:
          It was a more than a few years back when the AUD/USD was volatile. I took a chance auto set the limits so i dont loose much or make more than i expected. Woke up to a nice surprise

        • @easternculture:

          If the price gaps through your stop it may be triggered at a much lower level or may never be triggered (depends on broker).

      What an absurd comment.

      Owning physical Gold (a tangible asset) is completely different to punting on price movements using leverage in the forex market.

      $1600 is not a lot to spend on physical Gold, but like the size of any investment it's all relative to the amount of capital an investor has available (it may be a little to some, a lot to others).

      Making $3k in one night from forex trading is nothing to brag about (given the leverage involved) unless you are making such (net) profits regularly over a long period of time.

  • So is the deal just $35 down to $20? What is with the 1600?

    • +2

      $1647 is the price you pay for 1oz gold - or would if they were open now (9-5 monday to friday are their hours).

      A 42% discount on their usual premium isn't bad.

      For comparison Goldstackers has $1687 as their current price (out of stock though).

      • I'm sorry, I still don't entirely understand. Why would they sell 1 oz of gold for $20 then?

        As in, if I took this 1oz into a jeweler to sell, how much would it be?

        EDIT: Oh, I understand, it is basically a reduction in the fee that they are taking. Apologies for the confusion, it is late.

        • It's not for $20 - it's for spot price +20.

          Spot price is the amount traded on international metals markets. Currently, this is about $1627 AUD.

          As for resale - to get an idea, ABC bullion buys back their own 1oz blob (that they sell for $1668) for $1606.

          A jeweler would probably give you much less.

  • Does that mean Gold gonna go more down? Meanwhile I found this one worthy as well..

  • Stupid question I always wanted to ask - if I take the bullion from its packaging, will it lose any value or be harder to sell?

    • +3

      Yep to both.

      You should be able to get close to spot from a dealer regardless as they have the equipment to assay it.

      This is just a 1oz blob though and doesn't come with any real packaging (maybe a bag)?

      On the other hand - an advantage is that it has smooth rounded edges so you can hide it somewhere very secret (urghm).

  • I bought 2 x 1 oz bullion coins from Perth mint a few years ago. Alway wondered how I would go about selling them here in Sydney?

    • just go to your local cash-for-gold, they might trade them for a nice 50c piece

      • That nice piece may eventually file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

    • Plenty of members on Silver Stackers would take these off your hands, just make sure you trade safe when doing so privately:

    • Search for "bullion exchange Sydney" and you should find reputable dealers (rather than fly-by-night rip-off merchants).

    Price is too high at the moment to make this a deal.

    meh… I just go for a sprint whenever I see a rainbow.

      • I'm so going to see that!

  • this time is not a good time to buy gold

    Can this be price matched at officeworks?

    • Good question, and also is it valid at WA officeworks or nation wide?
