Thoughts about 100 gram gold bars?

Specifically the Pamp high polish bars. At 100 grams, would they be called a hecto (as opposed to a kilo)?
At 1/10th the price of a kilo bar, they seem like they'd satisfy the heft and touchability factor of the kilos without the cost and fear of messing up a proof finish bar or numismatic coin.

About premiums, local coin stores don't give premiums on these......the biggest premiums are on gold eagles, maples, and krugs. Other brands like these get spot or minus spot.
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
<< <i>It is a degussa, but a raw 100g bar is a raw 100g bar when it comes to the "feel" of it. I disagree with Opa about premiums. The degussa will fetch a higher premium ONLY because of its relative scarcity to the pamp bars. If I had $100,000 to spend right now, I could buy as many pamp 100's as I wanted before I went to bed. But I doubt I could find a single degussa 100 before the weekend was over, leaving me with about $96,500 left over. >>
Gecko, I agree that the 100 gram Degussa bar is more elusive and in the States will carry a higher premium than the PAMP, but that may also be true with other "rare" 100 g overseas produced bars. BTW the link is for one currently for sale, you just need to look overseas where they are not that uncommon. I just happen to like PAMP and if you read my post, it never indicated that PAMP has the highest premium for gold bars.
mkman123 If your local BM store only offers you spot for PAMP, then I suggest you stop dealing with them & sell them to APMEX who will indeed buy them back at above spot.
100 g degussa gold

<< <i>We stock the Pamp 100 gram bars, and sell quite a few of them. We buy them back at the same discount per ounce as any other bar. There is no liquidity problem with them.

Good to know, Captn! Any feelings about those with the certificate vs. those bought and sold "raw"?

Having the certificate is better, but we will buy them without at the same price.

A hecto would be correct, but I've never heard it used that way.
I like 10 deka better.

Being of Greek descent, I like 10 deka better too! (deka is 10 in greek) Planning a trip to Greece in September,watching their current economic situation closely. Also am going to check out their PM market.
