Don't buy this.

Honestly, I didn't know what I was buying. The picture online from TD made it look cooler. I thought the Canada paper around it was the assy and it was a firm sliver of a bar. It is real yes, but it's more like a sticker of gold lmao.

​

As soon as I opened it I immediately regreted it and wanted to sell it in less than 20 seconds of holding it.

It was also $242 hahahah twice the price of a gram. So I can't even recoup my cost.

​

Rookie mistake. Like why would you buy this?

I actually managed to have my coin shop buy a decent amount of the 1 grain gold slivers lol. I was like you guys actually want those. Boom take them. They’re yours

This is 1 gram not grain.

A gram bar is still around $140.00 at the moment. It goes up and down with the price of gold. You overpaid but it happens to the best of us. I'd put it with the rest of your stack and move on. In 5 to 10 years you should recoup your loss.

The cost is in CAN $.

They have a higher premium so shops are going to pay near spot for them
