Buy And Sell Gold Bullion

Buying Gold Bullion

Gold bullion has long been one of the most stable real money asset classes since monetary values began centuries ago.

Having physical gold bullion can help protect you in uncertain times, hedge against inflation as well as increase in value, especially in deflationary periods.

Best Way To Gold Bullion

The best way to buy gold bullion is to try to buy it as close to the spot price as possible. Buying gold at wholesale is the best way if you can.

It also helps to understand the different types of gold bullion there is to buy. Below are a few types of gold bullion available on the market today.

1) Gold Bullion Coins

A lot of the gold bullion is made by government mints from around the world such as: The United States Mint, The Austrian Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, New Zealand Mint etc.

This type of gold bullion is typically created as gold coins in a dollar unit such as, $5 gold, $10 gold, $20 gold and $50 gold pieces.

And although government minted bullion like the above will have a bit more of a premium, they hold their value more and are also more desirable and recognizable than gold bars.

2) Gold Bullion Bars

Gold bullion bars come in a variety of weights and sizes, ranging from small fractional sizes like 1 gram gold bars to larger denominations such as: 5 gram, 10 gram, 20 gram, 50 gram, 100 gram gold bars and 1 ounce gold bars.

The more reputable name brands that produce these gold bars include: PAMP Suisse Gold, Credit Suisse and Valcambi.

One of the key advantages of gold bullion bars is their lower premium compared to gold bullion coins. Due to their simple and standardized design, gold bars often have a lower production cost, resulting in a smaller premium over the spot price of gold. This makes them an attractive option for investors seeking cost-effective exposure to gold.

3) Collectible Gold Bullion

Collectible or numismatic gold bullion refers to gold coins or bars that hold additional value beyond their intrinsic metal content. These pieces are often sought after by collectors due to their historical significance, rarity, or unique design features. 

Investing in collectible gold bullion can offer a combination of both the intrinsic value of gold along with the potential for appreciation based on its collectability and collector demand.

One notable example of collectible gold bullion is historic gold coins. These coins were minted in the past and are valued not only for their gold content but also for their historical and artistic appeal. 

Coins such as the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, the British Sovereign, or the French Rooster have gained popularity among collectors. The rarity and condition of these bullion coins can significantly impact their value, often resulting in prices well above their gold weight value.
