Malaysia 1976 $500 Tapir Coin Gold Coin 1oz

***This gold coin with a face value of $500 was issued way, way back before many were born, ie, 1976, as part of the World Wildlife Conservation series.
More than 2,800 pieces of this coin were minted totally & as such, this gold coin is NOT a scarce nor rare coin since there are just too many of these around.
It's just another gold coin but it doesn't consist of 999% pure gold & it's always better to buy Maple Leaf, for example, which is 999.9 pure gold compared to this Tapir Gold.
Tapir Gold is neither a "Buy" nor a "Hold" at this moment.

Malaysia 2010 Proof Single Gold Land Survey Dept

***A Commemorative Proof Coin weighing slightly more than 8gm of pure gold issued in 2010, I suppose, to honor the Land Survey Dept of Malaysia.

This coin which comes in a box which has a COA that bears the Number of 00X.

As the price of gold has hit US$1,400 per oz, some folks are joining the bandwagon to buy such gold coins as a form of investment. Just wondering why these same folks didn't buy gold when gold was, say, at US$500 or US$600 an oz?

This reminds me of the stockmarket thing whereby so-called "investors" or rather punters chase after stocks when they are at sky-high prices, and do not buy or rather chicken-out when the prices are at the depressed levels.

What would happen tomorrow if the price of gold comes tumbling down? As days sure will follow nights and nights sure will follow days, what goes up will sure come down, isn't that how things are supposed to be?!

Malaysia 2010 Hisbiscus Flower PROOF GOLD COIN

***A proof Gold Coin issued on the 1st day of October, 2010, by the Central Bank Of Malaysia to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Proclamation of the Hisbiscus Flower as the national flower.

Only an extremely low mintage of 150 sets of this coin were issued, with a 999.9 pure gold weighing 7.96 gm, at the issue price of RM1,200 only, which works out to be the face value of the gold content itself, the box, the proof strike, etc, etc, could be considered as gratis!
At the Kuala Lumpur's branch of the Central Bank, ONLY 14 sets of this were sold to the general public!
