Gold**Fractional Gold
When it comes to purchasing gold, there are various options available for buyers, including fractional-ounce gold. Fractional-ounce gold refers to gold coins or bars that weigh less than one ounce. These smaller denominations allow investors to purchase gold in smaller increments, making it more affordable and flexible for a wider range of investors. JM Bullion is proud to offer a wide range of fractional gold for investors.
These coins contain one-half of an ounce of pure gold. Examples include the American Gold Eagle and Australian Gold Kangaroo. They provide a middle ground between smaller fractional sizes and full one-ounce coins. This weight is perhaps the most common fractional gold item in any gold bullion coin collection.
These coins contain one-quarter of an ounce of pure gold. Examples include the American Gold Eagle, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, and Austrian Philharmonic. They offer a slightly larger investment option compared to 1/10 oz coins. The vast majority of gold bullion collections available annually feature gold coins in this fractional weight.
These coins contain one-tenth of an ounce of pure gold. Examples include the American Gold Eagle, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, and South African Krugerrand. These coins are often popular among investors looking for smaller denominations and are widely available in most major gold bullion collections.
While 1/2, 1/4, and 1/10 oz gold coins are common in major gold bullion collections, there are a handful of other weights that you’ll find in gold bullion coin collections that are not a default choice for all mints. Examples include:
Similar to coins, gold rounds are privately minted bullion pieces. Fractional gold rounds are available in various weights, including fractional-ounce sizes such as 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/2 oz.
Gold bars are also available in smaller weights measured in grams. Common denominations include 1 gram, 2.5 grams, 5 grams, and 10 grams. These bars are usually produced by various mints and refineries around the world.
Fractional-ounce gold offers flexibility for investors to tailor their gold holdings according to their budget and investment goals. Additionally, they are often more liquid and easier to sell compared to larger denominations, especially during times of economic uncertainty when smaller investment amounts may be more practical for individuals.
