How to Buy Silver

Wed, 16 May 2012 13:14:06 +0100

For the smaller investor, this typically means one-ounce silver bars or half-ounce or one-ounce silver bullion coins - examples of the latter being the American Silver Eagle, the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf, the Chinese Silver Panda and the Australian Silver Koala.

These are produced by private mints and governments around the globe. The prices typically track the spot price of silver, plus a premium of 8% to 10% for bullion bars and up to 16% for coins, which covers the cost of minting and fabrication. The actual mark-up varies from coin to coin depending on the purity of the silver used, with Canada's Silver Maple Leaf being highest at 99.99% pure.

Larger investors can reduce the premiums to as little as 4% or 5% by purchasing the five-ounce, 10-ounce or one-kilogram coins offered by some mints, or buying 10-ounce or 100-ounce silver bars.

Be aware, however, that the premiums for all sizes will be considerably higher if you buy in small quantities or want to pay by credit card rather than with a bank draft or funds transfer.

For example, late last week, BullionUK.com quoted 100 one-ounce Silver Eagle coins at £19.89 each if purchased with a credit card, but priced 100 coins bought with a wire transfer at just £19.50 each.

The Austrian Florin Coin Special Offer

Sat, 05 May 2012 12:39:36 +0100

The Austrian Florin is a gold bullion coin that also doubles as a collector's coin. Minted during the 19th century in durable, high quality gold, they remain today a reminder of days gone by. Furthermore, they remind us of the ability of gold coins to outlast the governments that minted them. This coin has weathered two world wars and is here as an enduring reminder of the perennial value of gold. Political tensions have since split asunder the Austro-Hungarian Empire but today we can still buy gold florins as good as when they were first minted.

Today, as we see governments rise and fall, central banks print money and pursue policies of quantitative easing, we can look back to see that these gold coins not only remain with us but are gaining in worth as each day goes by. This makes the 4 and 8 florin varieties look appealing beyond their gorgeous aesthetic values; they serve a potent function in investment baskets that can weather recession and monetary inflation.

The regal and noble engraving of Francis Joseph adorns the obverse of the coin, while the reverse contains an emblem representing the coat of arms of what was then the Austro-Hungarian empire. These were minted by the Austrian government before the gold standard was introduced across Europe. This means they were circulating as functional coins because gold was not yet the backing force behind the value of personal and governmental wealth. As a result, these coins were made far more durable than the gold bullion coins of today, which are made to be stored away in airtight containers more than monetary usage. This means the Florin will continue to last and persist far better than the softer, more recent cousins of these coins.

As the monetary institutions begin to weaken and show signs of stress and strain, now is the time to prepare to weather the likely turbulence that would accompany a transition to more adapted financial systems. Gold has been valued ever since the first large scale economies began to be developed and will continue to wide the wave into the future. Shop around on BullionUK.com and look into protecting your hard earned wealth by investing in the durable and beautiful metal of gold. In fact, you should be able to capitalize on the general long term trends that are brewing globally with coins such as these Florins.

Learn About Gold Krugerrands

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 08:56:20 +0100

A Krugerrand is a gold coin minted in South Africa. It was originally made to help sell the vast amounts of South African gold that were being mined. It worked. Now, the Krugerrand is one of the most popular and reknowned gold coins around the world.

Krugerrands are made up of 22 carat gold with a purity of 91.67%. They come in sizes ranging from 1/10 troy ounce to 1/4, 1/2, and a full troy ounce.

They make a good investment in the long term. This is for several reasons.

First of all, Krugerrands gain a large collector's value over time. They become rare or vintage and, as a result, become more sought after. This drives up the price further.

Then, the most important reasons have to do with the price of gold. The price of gold is closely related to the overall economy.

Basically, gold makes a great store of value, especially when the value of money is decreasing and the economy is ding relatively poorly. This is precisely what is happening right now and what increasingly looks more likely to happen in the future. This makes gold a powerful store of wealth that protects your money from losing its value while also having a very real possibility of substantial appreciation.

The price of gold has increased more than twice its value in only a few short years, almost primarily because of the problems in the world economy. It is not inconceivable to think that the price of gold will go up if anything serious were to happen to a major economy.

These reasons make Krugerrands a sound investment and a wise adaptation to the current economic climate. However, if you are going to considering buying Krugerrands, there are some things you should know.

The first thing is a great lesson to learn for life and not just for gold: be patient. Gold coins like Krugerrands make great long term investments but have complications if you are trying to use them to get-rich-quick.

You will always pay a little bit more than the gold price and get less than the price of gold when you sell gold coins. This is how coin dealers make their living. However, this makes it difficult to rapidly buy and sell gold coins profitably.

However, if you're in it for the long run, you can view BullionUK's selection of Krugerrands at http://www.bullionuk.com/products/gold/coins/south_africa
