Gold Bullion Retailers

Gold’s phenomenal, three-day performance this week is no doubt stimulating business for gold bullion retailers everywhere, but serious household precious metals investors can avoid paying the excessive prices that gold bullion retailers command, by transacting with a reputable, large-volume precious metal exchange. It’s these exchanges that supply gold bullion retailers with their bullion bars and coins, and these exchanges benefit from “wholesale-type” discounts for their enormous purchases. Financial institutions like banks, insurance companies, and large corporations also purchase their gold holdings from large-volume exchanges, and their enormous buys grant them “institutional” discounts as well. Today’s household investors can also benefit from these institutional discounts, because the surplus gold from these institutional transactions is offered to them at the same discounted level.

Gold bullion prices traditionally hover slightly above the current gold “spot price”, which is the cost for one Troy ounce of pure gold. Institutional and household investors regularly purchase one-ounce, and/or ten-ounce bars, as they are the most basic, and affordable form of investment grade gold. Globally recognized, and recommended brand names for bullion bars are Engelhard, Credit Suisse, PAMP Suisse, and Johnson Matthey. Another globally popular bullion item is American Eagle, modern bullion coins, which contain one full Troy ounce of pure gold, and whose prices are only slightly higher than bullion bars. These 22-Karat, $50 face value gold coins are the most widely purchased bullion coins in the world, and are also offered in smaller denominations of ½-ounce, ¼-ounce, and 1/10-ounces, to customize most budgets. Investors are encouraged to complete their research, and then to contact one of our friendly specialists, who offer institutional discounts on bullion bars and coins.
