What's the difference between gold coins and bullion?
Gold coins are typically minted by sovereign government entities that guarantee the weight and purity of the gold content within each coin. Artists meticulously design these coins, often incorporating intricate motifs and historical significance. Additionally, gold coins commonly carry a face value, further underlining their authenticity and intrinsic worth. Conversely, gold bullion typically comprises bars or ingots of pure gold, predominantly produced by private mints or refineries, and are valued primarily based on their weight and purity.
How do I buy gold bars and coins online securely?
From our perspective, it comes down to a matter of trust. As such, here are some basic guidelines to follow to help ensure a secure online acquisition.
Choose a Trusted Dealer: Start by selecting a reputable dealer like First Gold Group, with over 15 years of experience helping customers buy gold and silver. To ensure reliability, do some basic research beyond customer reviews and self-proclaimed industry accolades as some companies “pay to play” for ratings. Call and email the dealer to gauge their responsiveness and commitment to customer service.
Build Trust with Small Purchases: Begin with smaller acquisitions to establish trust before making larger investments. Avoid rushing into significant purchases right away; instead, take your time to develop a relationship with the dealer.
Understand Pricing and Fees: Transparent pricing is key. Work with a dealer that openly displays product prices to avoid overpaying for your metals. Be cautious of dealers who don’t publish their prices, as this could indicate hidden fees or inflated costs.
Get the Best Price: Once you’ve established trust with your dealer, keep an eye out for better prices elsewhere. If you find a better deal, don’t hesitate to reach out to your trusted dealer and ask them to match it. A reliable dealer will prioritize customer satisfaction and strive to offer competitive prices.
