Gold: the Slowest Risk Money Can Buy


HOW TO BUY BULLION ONLINE: A BEGINNER'S GUIDE

Posted on Thursday, December 9, 2021
 *

We get a lot of questions from first-time precious metals shoppers about how to
buy bullion. Gold or silver? Coins or bars?

We get it. Bullion investment these days can feel daunting. People are waking up
to the reality of how different, and indeed less valuable, paper gold is
compared to the real thing. You want a tangible asset, not an IOU. And you want
to be absolutely sure you're swapping your cash for the right thing. The best
choice.

So we cracked our knuckles and put down everything we know about how to shop
smart when you buy bullion and put it right here: Investing in Bullion: A
Buyer's Guide

The guide takes you through your decision process, step by step:

 1. Choose your metal
 2. Select the type of bullion
 3. Check out top-selling products from each category

If you're not sure where to start, take a look at the bullion buyer's guide.
It'll answer questions you didn't even know you had.


I ALREADY KNOW I WANT TO BUY GOLD BULLION, NOW WHAT?

Making the decision to buy gold bullion is, in some ways, even more challenging.
It comes down to price. If you buy a silver round you don't fall in love with,
you're out maybe $25-$30 at today's prices.

Right now, even the smallest gold coin in our inventory will run you 10x that
much. If you make a gold purchase you're unhappy with, well, it's a lot harder
to laugh it off.

For this specific reason, we took the time to assemble a Gold Bullion Buyer's
Guide. This time we dig deeper into the pros and cons of different forms of gold
bullion, along with the pros and cons of each.

If you've already decided gold is the way to go, our gold bullion buying guide
will help you make up your mind. (Please read it -- the whole thing took a
ridiculous amount of work to put together!)


I DON'T WANT AN EDUCATION, JUST TELL ME WHAT BULLION TO BUY

No.

Seriously, no. The choice to buy bullion is all about freedom. It's about taking
back your economic power from a shadowy cabal of unelected technocrats who don't
have your best interests in mind, at all.

We don't want to make that decision for you. Instead, we'd strongly recommend
you make your own choice. Besides, you'll never forget your first piece of
bullion. Regardless of its weight or shape or age, that piece will have a
special magic for you. (Seriously.)

Now, if you need a short list of options to consider, what I can do is tell you
about our hottest picks from the major categories.


GOLD BULLION COINS

Top-selling gold bullion coin: 1 oz American Eagle

It's big, it's beautiful, it's an American classic since 1986. This is by far
our top-selling gold coin.

Runner-up: 2021 Canadian maple leaf gold coin

For those who scoff at the American eagle for its 22kt gold content, the
Canadian maple leaf's 0.9999 purity hits the spot.

Honorable mention: Krugerrand

It's not just the world's first modern bullion coin, it's the coin that launched
every other bullion coin currently minted today. The Krugerrand is our #3 seller
in gold coins and will always hold a special place in my heart thanks to its
mention in the 1989 classic buddy cop film Lethal Weapon 2. (See why I told you
to make up your own mind?)


GOLD BULLION BARS

Hottest gold bullion bar: 1 oz Valcambi Suisse gold bar (brilliant, uncirculated
condition)

From the world's most famous refinery, untouched by human hands, secure in its
tamper-proof packaging with enclosed assay card, these Valcambi bars absolutely
fly off the shelves.


SILVER BULLION

Top-selling silver bullion bar: 1 oz SilverTowne Buffalo bar

SilverTowne is a well-known name in the U.S. and their silver bullion bars are
always in high demand. Folks order them by the bushel. (Interestingly, we've
sold almost exactly as many ounces of silver in the form of SilverTowne's 10 oz
bullion bar, but first place goes to the 1 oz size.

Hottest silver bullion coin : 1 oz American Eagle

Just as eye-catching as the gold eagle, silver eagles are a stacker's best
friend. If you want to buy silver that's truly beautiful, eagles might be right
for you.

Note, though, that we sell about 50% more silver bullion rounds than silver
eagles. Rounds might be a better pick for shoppers on a tight budget.
