Fine Gold, but the price was a little high considering the price per gram, but it is nice to collect.

I paid over 150.00 and the seller never contacted me after several emails and still has not sent this product. DONT USE THIS SELLER>

On august 16th 2011 I bought an identical 1 gm bar from Gainesville Coin and paid 79.72 including a ridiculous shipping fee of 9.75. Knew I was getting a bit of a raw deal (79.72 x 31.1 = 2479.29) as that is currently about 600 dollars above spot, but figured as a beginning/small investor I'd have to pay extra for the ability to purchase these small amounts.

Now 96.95 x 31.1 is 3015.15...........hmmmm......... yep ......... currently 1200 dollars over the price of gold.(right around 1800 dollars as i write this)

If a legitimate gold dealer can thrive on half of that profit margin, how can Blue Proton justify this absurd mark-up?

I would love to order through Amazon as I'm a prime-member and trust the security of the purchase, but, c'mon, get better dealers Amazon. Why in everything else should buying through you be so competitively priced and then you allow this blatant profiteering.

We as your customers deserve better.

Consider that a 1/10 oz gold coin is already smaller than a U.S. dime. It will take 2.8 of these "bars" (flecks) to equal this already tiny coin. Gold is gold no matter what the size, but remember to budget for a magnifying glass if you want to see the detail on this thing.

Also, per unit of weight, this fleck is very expensive. If you can afford it, you would be better off buying a standard 1/10 oz U.S. Gold Eagle from a reputable coin dealer as it is both a better value, and more liquid.
