Perth Mint so far it is good for those whose are into collections as mine was old as the late 80% I have some PAMP Suisse as well because it has a good demand and supply in the market

Difference between buy and sell spread is negligible. Don't waste your time on physical gold cause the spread between the buy and sell can be as high at 5%

Buy GLDM - it's SPDR Gold Mini shares, has lower expense ratio, just slightly larger bid ask spread per ounce.

This ensures liquidity worldwide, AFAIK PG and Scottsdale are not LBMA accredited. At the end of the day, it is an investment, cheaper the better = lesser premium paid and lesser spread. My 2 cents

If you want to buy and hold, go physical. If you want to trade go virtual/paper gold (ETF). I have some Krugerrand that my siblings and I got from my parents when finishing university. I am not planning to sell, only if desperate. And also bought some more during the years. Will give to my kids when they finish university and/or get married. The good thing about these Krugerrand, you can sell and buy everywhere, in all countries of the world they are traded since many decades. Whatever happens on this planet in the future, having a couple of ounces is the best insurance since more than 2500 years

List of refiner that I've been able to collect: Public Gold PAMP Suisse Argor-Heraeus Perth Mint Scottsdale Thanks! For me, it's good to have a healthy mix of all. I stack both LBMA (PAMP, Argor-Hereaus, Perth Mint, IGR, PX Precinox, Nadir) and non-LBMA gold (MAA, Amethyst, Public Gold dinars or bars, Wah Chan etc), whichever I got for the best deal. At the end of the day, Gold Is Gold. LBMA gold is technically readily acceptable worldwide, but non-LBMA are just as acceptable, as long as they are tested and confirmed genuine by the jeweler or buyer.

You can check out https://www.silverbullion.com.my/It's my go-to bullion dealer for buying physical Gold / Silver at the best price. Krugerrand is a bit hard to come by, but they will list it if they have stock.

Anyone tried using this company service? The physical gold price (both buy and sell) offer by this company is tempting and I am considering getting some PAMP gold bar from this company. https://msgold.com.my/The reason why I usually go from PAMP is because of VERISCAN. I personallly like maple leaf design but do not know how to validate the gold, same goes for other gold bar/coins. Thanks

But have not tried buying anything from them yet. Looks pretty good, another dealer option to obtain physical gold. The best way to validate gold yourself is by purchasing the Precious Metal Verifier machine, but it's extremely expensive. So I just buy from reputable dealers with official receipts as extra proof of authenticity. This post has been edited by andrewcoffee: Jun 24 2021, 02:38 PM

Mostly 1KG and 100 gram bars are sold in M'sia.

I'm quite a small gold stacker, so not very familiar with big bars. But I can recommend a few more dealers for price comparison https://www.buysilvermalaysia.com/gold-wholesale/https://mybulliontrade.com/
