Some important points to consider when purchasing bullion coins are the premium, the spread between the buy and sell price, the liquidity in terms of recognition and resale, and of course the importance of buying from a trusted and well-known bullion dealer.
Prices of gold coins include a price premium above the spot price of gold which reflects minting and production costs and a market premium related to supply and demand. While price premiums on smaller gold coins tend to be higher than the price premium on larger gold coins a holding of smaller coins makes a physical gold investment more divisible and also potentially useful for trading or bartering in a crisis scenario.
As well as being intricately designed and collectible and an ideal way to gain to the gold price, an investment in gold bullion coins is also a proven store of value and a form of financial insurance or safe haven during financial market crises.
