Learn About the Sizes of Fractional Coins and Their Benefits

Fractional sizes refer to any size of a Precious Metal that is less than your standard 1 oz Precious Metal. Common denominations include 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz. There are some sizes that can go as low as 1/25 oz. These are available in Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium.

Previous thinking into Precious Metals investing was the standard 1 oz Precious Metals size was the best size for investing because you were able to maximize the value out of it. All fractional sizes hold value as well and they provide a nice complement to any collection or investment portfolio.

A common place for many investors to start is the fractional American Gold Eagle Coins. The one-tenth ounce Gold Eagle coin is a popular option that is recognized by investors and collectors around the world, yet has a more affordable entry point than its standard full-ounce version.
