After deciding to invest in gold, I had to determine whether to buy and sell coins or ingots. A bullion coin is a coin made of precious metal that is kept as an investment rather than being used regularly for trade. With the exception of the South African Krugerrand and the Swiss Vreneli, all bullion coins are typically available in gold and silver. The Canadian Maple Leaf series is produced in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, whereas the American Eagle series is produced in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.

Coins made of gold or silver are frequently available in different weights. With very few bullion coins created in relatively small amounts, in kilos (about 2.2 pounds) and even heavier as special commemoratives, these are typically multiples or fractions of 1 troy ounce.

Often regarded as safe havens or hedges against inflation, political turbulence, social unrest, currency-related problems, and economic slump.

Due to their relatively low price compared to gold, silver coins have grown in popularity among collectors. In contrast to most gold and platinum issues, which are valued according to the markets, silver coins are frequently valued as collectibles, sometimes at a premium to their actual bullion value. During periods of economic expansion, investors may also purchase commodities such as gold, silver, platinum, etc. for capital appreciation or to avoid the inflationary effects associated with other investments.

Gold is the most often used precious metal as an investment out of all the others.

Platinum has a significantly shorter history in the financial markets than gold or silver, both of which were familiar to ancient civilizations. Even among the precious metals, platinum is rather rare. As a result, it typically trades at prices that are greater per unit than gold. The London Platinum and Palladium Market and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) are the two markets where platinum is traded. Typically, instead of using coins, this deal uses ingots.

Platinum's price closely reflects its alleged supply and demand. The cost of platinum typically doubles that of gold during extended periods of economic stability and prosperity. Due to its many industrial applications, such as in catalysts, the price of platinum tends to fall when the economy is struggling because of decreased demand and commercial demand. Concerns over output caused the price of platinum to surge at almost $2,300 (USD) per troy ounce ($74/g) in March 2008. (arising partly from problems in South African mines). Later, in November 2008, it dropped to $780 (USD) per troy ounce ($25/g).

This is why I focus mostly on gold and silver ingots and coins. Due to its widespread demand, I strongly prefer gold, yet I very rarely buy silver. Since I view gold as a long-term asset, my gold ingot/coin "mix" is roughly 25%:75%. I value the "collectability spread" that gold coins have while also wanting some flexibility in the event that I need to sell some gold. I have diversified my precious metal holdings beyond just "gold" because ingots would be the first to go.

Simply because mining stocks are a more complicated issue than ingots or coins, I have generally avoided them. It should be necessary to conduct some study on energy needs, environmental concerns, and the political situation before investing in gold and/or silver mining stocks. aI only buy coins made of basic metals and bullion.

Choosing whether to acquire actual physical possession of a gold investment is a very difficult issue. I won't get into the reasons why; I'll just state I don't accept ownership of ingots. I do, however, have a few coins in a safe deposit box, though I typically do not take custody of coins. Why? First, I think that these are the prettier and typically minor bodily problems. I occasionally give these away at weddings and graduations. Only once in the past 20 years has a coin gift from someone else duplicated my gold coin gift.

In general, I've seen that gold and silver are not particularly significant and only make up a small portion of my long-term investments, but that diversification is really important. I typically invest 10% or more, but seldom more than 20%, of the overall investment value in precious metals. Please take note that I have SOLD (ingots) to maintain the not-over-20% target, which has regularly produced a sizable profit from gold price peaks. a straightforward method that completely eliminates "timing" from the buy-sell decision process for investments.
