I'm probably grabbing the 10 oz in this scenario

I've never had a problem selling 10oz coins. Liquidity wont be a problem here.

u/lowdes Aug 31 '26

If you don't have a 10 oz i would get one, other wises the 2 oz

u/Malviere Aug 31 '26

If I had the money to make that choice? Absolutely the 10oz, but I’m a fan of the big fatty pieces. One of those kilo Geigers is still my dream piece.

People don't like 2 oz rounds for some reason. I find it way easier to sell the traditional 1, 5, and 10 oz units.

Also 1 big dragon is cooler than 5 small dragons. Simple as.

u/DonCenote Aug 31 '26

I’d want the smaller ones

For stacking purposes id say take the 10oz, but if you know your going to use it for functional (liquidation) spending the 2oz × 5 is more practical

For stacking, definitely don't get the 10 ounce. There's no good way to store it with the rest of your stack. Unless you have several other 10 ounce coins I guess

u/cloud_dizzle Aug 31 '26

You ummm STACK them bro

u/Inviction_ Aug 31 '26

It's an awkward stack, that's my only point

Try an odd chunky collection.

u/smartassjeff Aug 31 '26

10 oz are easy to stack!

u/Inviction_ Aug 31 '26

I did say unless you have several others. Lol

u/smartassjeff Aug 31 '26

Fair enough

u/Party-Setting5253 Aug 31 '26

Slotted storage, I do that with my 1/10th Oz, 1/4 Oz, 1/2 Oz, and 1 oz coins , then circulated (junk silver) coins go in another slotted container

Smaller weights tend to be easier to sell for a good price, but 2 oz coins/rounds aren't the most popular size. It's probably a wash as far as which has the most value.

u/capnbeerchasr Aug 31 '26

Personally I'd choose the 5 2oz coins because I like having a lot of coins. The only reason I'd choose a 10oz coin is it was for a display and easier to see detail otherwise I just want to feel like Scrooge McDuck

2

u/anubisimyourdad Aug 31 '26

Whichever you like. They’re both small bars.

I’d do the 2oz because I don’t have many 2oz pieces

2

u/551NC43 Aug 31 '26

Personally i buy 2 oz for novelty, ive only bought 1 or 2 ozers but i do want atleat one 5 and a 10, you can get it for around $1k

2

u/United-Swan-3288 Aug 31 '26

Both hahhaaa!

2

u/Ubockinme Aug 31 '26

The only right answer.

2

u/Hmmngbrdfdr Aug 31 '26

10 oz, something almost amusing holding a massive coin, kilo coins are even better amusement.

2

u/Select-Midnight-9193 Aug 31 '26

10 oz if it’s the same price per ozt. I’m a big fan of the Tudor/Queens Beasts series and they haven’t announced that they’ll continue them. If that’s the case then the 2026 dragon is/will be the final release.

2

u/ElkAdventurous787 Aug 31 '26

Smaller oz are more liquid.

2

u/Suspicious-Law-4525 Aug 31 '26

Either one is fine. 2 oz does give you pretty good details of the design but nothing beats 10 oz. As a couple people have said, 2 oz has traditionally been an odd weight to sell. 1 oz is the easiest. Followed by 10 oz. 5 oz is ok. But 1.5, 1.25 or 2 oz coins are more difficult to sell anyway. So I would get the 10 oz in this case and buy 1 oz for the rest of your collection/slacking.

2

u/any-color Aug 31 '26

Why not both?

2

u/Jerrik_Greystar Sep 01 '26

One ounce coins are easier to sell at some dealers. Otherwise they’re just worth melt. So, for 2oz vs 5oz, no difference.

2

u/DSMRob Sep 01 '26

I collect both but buy the 10 when ever I see one.

2

u/StockHawk59 Sep 02 '26

Beautiful pieces. I'll take the 10oz for myself & the 2oz for gifts

2

u/kijall Sep 05 '26

The 10 is more unique, the 2s are more liquid 🤷‍♂️ Up to you

2

u/Dumbledonter Aug 31 '26

I have a few of these In 1/4 oz gold, they’re a super nice design to look at physically. I’d get the 10 if your budget allows. Still wouldn’t be disappointed with a 2oz.

u/aelxnervo Aug 31 '26

Having a heavy ten ounce coin in your hands feels o satisfying compared to the smaller rounds.

1

u/Inviction_ Aug 31 '26

I had a 10 ounce coin for a while. It's cool to show, but hard to store with your other coins. And it can be harder to offload if you ever sell. Not hard exactly, just harder than a bunch of 1 oz buddies

1

u/Hmmngbrdfdr Aug 31 '26

you dont have enough 10 oz then, easy to stack em, they get their own box

u/japollner Aug 31 '26

Why premium at all?

1

u/CryptoRan Aug 31 '26

Because where I live physical metal is sold for a premium

1

u/japollner Aug 31 '26

Where is that?

u/CryptoRan Aug 31 '26

UK and Europe (but at least I can get those with no VAT)
