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

Don't Buy Gold On Credit

Buying gold on credit or speculating on the future price can lead to getting yourself in a significant financial jam.


Instead, put some money to the side that you're sure you're not going to need in a short time horizon, and use that to invest.

Invest On A Long Time Horizon

When investing in any asset, including gold, it's important to keep the time horizon in mind. Prices fluctuate, and over a longer time horizon there's a better chance of your investment appreciating in value.


The last thing anyone would want is to invest money they'll need in the coming months, only to have the market move against them. Talk to your financial adviser, and carefully plan any future purchases.

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.

Stick To Physical Gold Coins, Bullion, and Jewelry

Gold owned through a commodities exchange, or "on paper" is no substitute for physical bars, coins, or jewelry. Exchanges are heavily leveraged, which means if everyone tried to "cash out" at once, there isn't enough physical metal to go around.


Moreover, precious metals are typically meant as a hedge against the complete collapse of the traditional banking infrastructure. If you wind up needing it, you'll want to have it close at hand!
