Gold Purchase Formats

There are a number of physical formats you can consider when buying gold:


  • Gold Coins: Some coins have a "rarity" component associated with them that can add to their value. Coins are a great option but avoid purchasing based on rarity unless you really know what you're doing
  • Gold Jewelry: Investing in jewelry is another option. You'll take craftsmansip, design, and purity into account when valuing these items.
  • Gold Bars: Bars are typically quite pure, and stamped with the name of the production refinery. Value is directly aligned to the amount of metal in the bar.
  • Gold ETFs: These are funds designed to follow the spot price of gold. It doesn't mean you own anything physically, and isn't an effective hedge against total system collapse (but can be a good investment vehicle for some).

Tips For Buying Gold In Illinois

Know And Comply With The Law

It's important to comply with the law when it comes to buying gold, and knowing what they are goes a long way.


Under a certain dollar amount, there's no need to declare (which may be attractive to some), but once you hit a threshold you will need to (and should) declare your holdings.

Gold Purchase Format

As a general rule, you should look at buying legal tender gold coins wherever possible. This will almost certainly include less overhead and premium than other formats, and be closer to the true spot price of gold.


Purchasing rare gold coins should be avoided unless you really know what you're doing. Some subjective measures of value are easy to misjudge, and may result in you getting taken advantage of.

Stay Liquid

Having liquid gold on-hand and ready in the event of a crisis is the best hedge. Being invested in gold ETFs is fine depending on your objectives, but if you're truly hedging against unforeseen market collapses, you want physical metal in your possession.

Keep Some Gold Nearby - But Not Too Much

Governments around the world have seized noble metals from time to time, so keeping your entire stash locally could be a bad idea depending on where you live.


Safe jurisdictions like Switzerland should be considered when you get to the point of holding a significant (tens of thousands of dollars worth generally) amount.
