Gold Bullion Coins and Bars

Diversifying with physical gold is a strategic way to protect your wealth in times of economic uncertainty. Gold bullion coins and bars are resilient assets that provide a hedge against inflation.

Characterized by their simple design and large mintages, there is a massive market for gold bullion coins – making them a highly-valued, highly liquid asset. Bullion coins and bars typically trade near spot prices, valued on their precious metal content. Gold bullion, whether in coin or bar form, are tangible assets that offer a safe haven from economic volatility at a time when global instability is driving gold prices to historic levels.

We offer a carefully-curated selection of gold bullion coins and bars from the world’s finest sovereign mints and globally-respected refiners – ideal for first-time buyers and gold-savvy savers alike. Explore our extensive gold bullion coins, bars, and rounds below.

Should I buy gold coins or bars?

Generally speaking, gold coins are more easily recognizable and therefore more liquid. On the other hand, gold coins are more expensive to manufacture, and tend to be marginally more expensive than gold bullion bars. Because of their less elaborate designs, gold bars aren’t as easily authenticated without testing. They are simpler to manufacture, however, and tend to sell at a lower premium over spot price. There are many to choose from, and our highly-skilled team can help you choose the products that best meet your needs.

How much is a gold bullion coin worth?

Most gold bullion products are sold near current spot prices based on their weight and purity. These prices fluctuate based on supply and demand.  Some coins may be priced at a premium, depending on the difficulty in obtaining, storing, and shipping the particular type of coin. Generally speaking, however, gold bullion coins are bought and sold based on their intrinsic value; their weight of precious metal.

Is it legal to own U.S. gold coins?

Since 1974, the U.S. federal government has had no restrictions in place on the ownership of gold. It’s perfectly legal to own gold coins in the U.S., whether they’re minted in America or overseas. It is important to comply with U.S. tax and reporting laws when acquiring or selling gold domestically or internationally.
