Gold Bullion Products from JM Bullion
There is no precious metal in the world coveted more than gold. The famous “yellow metal” has been a standard by which wealth is measured for centuries, and as civilizations took the first steps out of the Dark Ages and into international trade in the Middle Ages and beyond, gold was there as the standard unit of commerce used by nations and people who spoke different languages. Despite language and cultural barriers, everyone understands the value of gold. Today, gold bullion remains a primary vehicle for private investment and the protection of wealth. The JM Bullion catalog contains a wide array of gold bullion products, some of which you can learn more about below.
Gold Bullion Coins
Many investors buying gold turn to gold bullion coins from sovereign mints. Gold coins are a popular choice because the weight and purity of the coins are backed by a central bank and sovereign. Moreover, gold coins are produced on an annual basis to meet consumer demand, so there’s rarely a shortage of gold coins available to those investors who want to purchase the precious metal in this form. The following are some of the most popular gold coins for sale:
- American Gold Eagle
- Canadian Gold Maple Leaf
- South African Gold Krugerrand
- Chinese Gold Panda
- British Gold Britannia
- Austrian Gold Philharmonic
- Australian Gold Kangaroo
- Mexican Gold Libertad
Gold coins are struck with a minimum purity level of .999 gold, while coins such as the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf and Australian Gold Kangaroo are issued with .9999 pure gold. Most gold bullion coins have a face value issued by a central bank with that nation’s fiat currency, such as the US Dollar ($) for the American Gold Eagle or the Pound Sterling (£) for the British Gold Britannia. Finally, gold bullion coins are often available in weights beyond simply 1 oz gold. The American Gold Eagle features fractional weights of 1/2, 1/4, and 1/10 oz, while the Chinese Gold Panda is offered in 1 Gram, 3 Gram, 8 Gram, and 15 Gram weights in addition to its standard 30 Gram coins.
Gold Bullion Coin Mints
As mentioned above, gold bullion coins are preferred by many investors because they have the backing of central banks and federal governments. Additionally, these coins are issued by national sovereign mints and other state-owned facilities. The following are some of the most prolific issuers of gold coins:
Gold Bullion Bars
For those investors looking for variable prices, more designs, and greater options when it comes to the gold they buy, gold bullion bars are an excellent choice. As diverse as gold bullion coins can be, there’s no matching the variety available when you buy gold bars online. Gold bullion bars are offered by private mints and refineries located around the globe. There is no government backing or central bank support, but these refineries have certified assayers (in many cases) checking the quality, purity, and weight of each product before it leaves the refinery. Gold bars feature at least .999 pure gold as well, with .9999 the standard in most products. Further, the weights offered for gold bars range from as small as 1 Gram to as large as 5 Kilograms. The following are some of the many gold bullion bars you’ll find available:
- Sunshine Mint Gold Bars: Each bar features the mint logo of Sunshine Minting.
- PAMP Suisse Fortuna Gold Bars: One of the world’s most famous gold bars, the Fortuna design reflects an image of the Roman goddess of fortune.
- Valcambi Gold Bars: Available in a variety of styles, Valcambi gold features the mint logo as the primary design.
- RMC Gold Bars: A private US refinery, Republic Metals Corporation gold features the mint logo on the obverse face.
- Credit Suisse Gold Bars: One of the world’s oldest refineries, Credit Suisse gold bars bear the refinery logo and are internationally known and respected.
Gold Bullion Bar Refineries/Mints
The primary benefits to gold bullion bars for gold buyers are diversity and affordability. Gold bullion bars have lower premiums over the spot price of gold when compared to gold bullion coins, and the variety of options is far more diverse. Gold bullion bars are available not only in the aforementioned weights, but also styles including cast, hand-poured, and minted ingots. Gold bullion bars are struck continuously to meet the demand for gold, with the following refineries and mints representing some of the greatest refiners of gold bars:
