Owing gold, now more than ever creates personal, economic confidence. Gold has been recognized for centuries as the best way to protect your wealth. Gold is the only true form of real money that exists in the world today. Gold meets all the functions of real currency. It is portable, durable, divisible, and rare. Since ancient times, gold has been a genuine source of wealth. Unlike our dollar today, one cannot simply create gold out of thin air. Unlike other traditional paper investments gold cannot file bankruptcy, it can’t go out of business, nor does it need a bailout or stimulus package. For this reason and for many others gold offers freedom from currency devaluation and higher inflation.
Bullion is gold or silver considered with respect to quantity rather than value. Meaning that its only worth its weight based on the current market or spot price. Bullion offers a solid, precious metal hedge from financial uncertainty. Gold bullion is a real, tangible assets, and throughout history, have been an ideal store of value and an excellent hedge against inflation and deflation. Bullion is a liquid investment, easily stored and transported, and can be a very good way to preserve one's wealth.
Investment-grade coins contain the same one-ounce of gold (or silver) as bullion coins, however they were minted as currency from 1700's through the 1800’s and early 1900's. Thankfully they were set aside by banks and/or collectors, and not put into circulation. Therefore they are limited in number, and depending on rarity, supply, demand, and condition, these coins are worth considerably more than bullion coins. In that respect they have about the same risk as bullion, however because they are collectibles they are completely private and are not subject to confiscation. Investment Grade coins are for investors looking for protection with the ability to make a profit.
