Is 21K or 24K gold better for investing?

Direct Answer: For pure investment: 24K gold (ingots and coins) is superior due to minimal manufacturing costs and pure value. 21K makes sense only if combining jewelry with savings, accepting markup loss (5-15%) on resale. Rule: Every pound spent on markup is immediate guaranteed loss requiring price appreciation to offset.
