Investing in bullion coins

Bullion coins are comprised of precious metals - the most common variety being gold - and are used primarily as an investment or as a store of value. They come in a variety of weights, and are measured in ounces, or percentages of an ounce. The most common include the 1/20, 1/10, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 ounce. Bullion coins are purchased at a little over the market value of the metal, to cover various manufacturing costs associated with the coins. This additional premium can add a further 4-8% to the price of gold. The cost of bullion coins also varies according to market demand. Investment in gold coins is immensely popular, with an almost inviolable value to the investor.

Buying and preserving bullion coins

The scarcity of bullion coins adds to their value, but can mean it is difficult as a collector or investor to source them. There are a variety of coin and bullion dealers across the UK, as well as some online sources. Coin collecting publications often advertise bullion coins for purchase. Bullion coins need to be handled with care, particularly if they have a higher cartage, as this makes them more malleable and easily prone to being scratched or damaged. It is important that the coins are exposed to as little moisture and air as possible, as this can cause the coin to tone or discolour.
