Gold Bullion
Gold is the most widely held and easily resold bullion metal, which is why it's usually the first place people start when adding physical precious metals. We keep a rotating selection of gold coins and bars, and can source specific pieces on request.
What we typically stock
Common gold coins and bars
Availability shifts with the market, so what's in the case changes — but these are the pieces we handle most often.
American Gold Buffalo
A 24-karat one-ounce coin with a design drawn from the classic Buffalo nickel.
Canadian Gold Maple Leaf
One of the purest gold coins minted, widely traded and well recognized outside the U.S. as well.
Krugerrand
South Africa's long-running gold bullion coin, one of the original modern investment coins and still heavily traded.
Gold bars
From gram-sized bars up to one ounce and beyond, typically from recognized refiners, at a lower premium than coins.
Fractional gold
Tenth-ounce and quarter-ounce coins for smaller budgets or gifting, at a higher per-ounce premium than full-ounce pieces.
Sizing it right
Fractional vs. one-ounce gold
Neither is 'better' — it depends on your budget and plans.
- One-ounce coins and bars carry the lowest premium per ounce, making them the most cost-efficient way to hold a larger gold position.
- Fractional coins (1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz) cost more per ounce of gold but let you buy in smaller increments and give more flexibility if you ever sell only part of a position.
- If you're buying gold for the first time, a single one-ounce coin from a widely recognized mint is usually the simplest, most liquid starting point.
Pricing
How gold is priced here
Every gold coin or bar is priced off the live spot price of gold, plus a premium that reflects the piece's form, mint, and size, as described on our precious metals overview.
