For example, the depth of ridges, number of ridges, shape of design (maple leaves, american eagles, pandas, koalas etc.).
On the other hand, bars have more margin for error in the counterfeiting due to its limited design and engravings. And it's much easier to fill that huge block of mass (1kg, 100oz etc.) with tungsten compared to filling tiny (1/2 oz, 1 oz) coins with tungsten.
Any suggestions on sellers of Bullion Coins (Maple Leaves, American Eagles, Pandas,...etc.) who're credible and 'cheap' (ie. low markup over gold price)?
I did an online check and found UOB + many Gold cos. (time consuming to check their credibility as many). I thot' Singapore Mint created the Lion Head Bullion coins but I don't see them selling in their site.
I'm getting interested in Physical Investment Gold as there'll be no GST from next month. More as an insurance eg. in case Singapore collapsed and have to become refugee...
Ha! Ha! Agree.
In that case, one gram to maybe 10g bar is better for ease of transaction. i don't think crooks are interested in counterfeiting these. Too little in value - not worth their effort.
Hi sgd, wow! very nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.
You just reminded me MAN will do anything for "$WP", isn't it?

A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.
