From Kitco Sales Page.
Is this the new standard for buying Bullion coins now?
I saw these for the first time on Kitco tonight. They may have been doing this for awhile I don't know anything about their 'Mint First' program.
I would Presume it is to help secure transactions and ease fears about counterfeits.
Does anyone here have more information about these. Pictures front and back would be great.
On BS&T Now: Nothing.

I’d rather own APMEX than kitco.. the PCGS affiliation is nice too!
Different variations but basically this is a way to show the bullion came out of monster boxes and straight to slab.
Kitco is fast and very reliable but pretty durned expensive.
Give me modern U.S. mint gold in a PCGS slab, anyday...
I had not even seen the deal on Ampex, I always prefer PCGS, the only part about the Kitco I was looking at was the slab. I have not searched for all the information and I though had I run across one of these Mint First I would hope it would be more secure than raw, or even some TPG's.

Never seen before. At shows raw laid out from roll like treasure.
It's like gold but only better. I wonder if a TPG will slab the kitco slab, then send to cac to get sticker then slab over the cac. Never thought I'd run into a storage problem with gold. Crazy world.
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

Not sure what value that would give a gold coin...not certified/graded....nothing more than a protective slab. Cheers, RickO
PCGS/NGC only for authenticity.
Substandard not standard. Standard are the slabs we know. Particularly PCGS.
Who seals that Apmex slab?
