G S asked:


I am trying to find out if buying gold flakes or gold wire is worth it, whether it is the same as buying the equivalent in a gold coin etc. I have a chance to buy an ounce in gold flakes and I am trying to find out what it is worth. Being that an ounce of gold is going for about a thousand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
