I agree. Can't always shell out for a 1 oz. (or more) purchase, but it still lets me get "some" gold at a fairly reasonable price. They add up over time. Even 1 oz. bars tend to be cheaper than the equivalent rounds it seems like. DoggyMama wanted a gold eagle the last time, and I bought a 1 oz. bar for almost $100 less than her eagle at the same time.I like 10gr bars for fractional gold. Very low premium and affordable.
