Why Buy Gold Online?
Gold has been used as money and a long-term store of value for thousands of years. When you buy gold, you are buying one of the world's most stable assets. Gold and gold bullion products are a traditional safe haven investment and a perfect way to diversify your portfolio.
Gold prices typically move independently of stocks and financial markets, which means that if the stock market goes down in value, gold will generally rise. Physical gold and silver are the only assets that are completely free of counterparty risk and have historically held their purchasing power.
Central banks, institutional investors, and retail investors/collectors all buy gold, which provides the durable demand, enabling gold to retain its value in the future. When people think of buying gold bullion, they often think of the standard gold bars, but investors have several options.
Gold Bars or Gold Bullion
Gold bars are produced by both government mints and private mints like Perth Mint. Gold bar sizes range from as small as 1 gram, all the way up to a 400 oz London good delivery bar.
When you buy gold bars online, they typically carry serial numbers, and most bars 1 oz or smaller usually come in a tamper-proof Certicard that contains assay information, the signature of the Chief Assayer as well as a serial number that matches the number stamped on the bar.
Serial numbers can be useful if the gold bars are being held in a trust or in allocated, segregated storage.Lower fabrication costs mean lower spot prices for bars than for coins or rounds. This allows you to accumulate gold at a lower cost per ounce and maximize your return on investment in physical gold. When the spot price of gold increases, the price of your gold bars will also increase.
Gold Rounds
Gold rounds can be purchased in sizes from 1/10 oz and up and are produced by private mints. They feature craftsmanship that rivals government mints, however, they do not carry a face value and cannot be used as legal tender.
Private mints have a much greater latitude in terms of the subject matter of their rounds and many are very creative with beautiful and interesting designs. Silver Gold Bull carries several high-quality options for investors who are looking for gold rounds like this.
Gold Coins
Gold investors can buy pure gold coins in sizes ranging from 1 gram to 1 kg. Gold coins are produced by government mints (such as American Gold Eagle or Royal Canadian Mint) and are distinguished from gold rounds by having a face value.
Most popular gold coins do typically have a slightly higher premium than gold bars due to the extra fabrication costs involved in the production. However, having a face value means that they can be used as legal tender in the country of issue. When the spot price of gold increases, the price of gold coins will also increase.
