A common question we often get asked is - WHAT TYPE OF COIN SHOULD I BUY ?

Unfortunately, this is a question we can not really answer for our customers.  Gold bullion coins are generally purchased on the basis of the value of the Gold, with a premium added depending on a coins popularity and quality.  So which to buy, will of course depend on whether you are buying purely for bullion investment, or whether you are willing to pay a premium for a design / numismatic value of a coin.  However, in our opinion, we would group Gold Bullion coins into the following 2 main categories:

There is however, an alternative thought as to which coins are better to invest in - click the following link for an alternative view:

Another common question asked by our customers is - WHAT SIZE OF COIN SHOULD I BUY ?

Again, a question that can only really be answered by the purchaser.  However, there are certain criteria you can bear in mind when looking at different sized Gold coins (referred to as 'fractionals'):

• The smaller the coin, the higher premium above the gold price you will pay

• Fractional sizes are produced in smaller quantities (mintage)

• Some types of coins do not produce fractionals for every year in bullion version

To give you an indication of what you will be expected to reasonably pay, based on our current trade, we usually work on the following premiums for gold bullion coins:
