For simplicity’s sake, when it comes to buying and selling bullion, the United States Government wants to know two things: if you are laundering money, or if you are avoiding taxes. With that being said, the reporting for bullion is more stringent on the selling side than on the buying side. For a detailed guide […]
Last week was a mixed one for precious metals but overall we’d say it was a positive one, with significant price increases for gold and silver and, apart from rhodium, some promising activity in the platinum group as well. Conditions across other markets have been mixed, with equities falling through Wednesday then rising again, while […]
Our new customers frequently ask this question when they’re looking to invest in silver. And for the most part, they can’t really go wrong. Investors who buy silver bars are already in a product with a lower premium (silver bars typically are cheaper than silver coins) so choosing a silver bar mainly has to do […]
Last week was good overall for precious metals; while rhodium fell slightly all the others made gains. Some of them were small but palladium had a reasonably good week, and some positive trends seem to be emerging from the earlier confusion. There’s a lot of volatility in other markets right now, but metals seem to […]
A lot of discussion among metals traders last week was about gold, which fell spectacularly from Monday through to Friday, but in fact it was a fairly good week overall. Most prices managed to climb slightly and a lot of the damage done the previous period was reversed. Faltering oil prices may have helped this, […]
One ounce gold bars are a staple of gold investing. When customers want to get a cheaper premium and avoid gold coins, they often ask what is the best gold bar to purchase. In that conversation, PAMP Suisse is almost always mentioned. This is because PAMP bars are among the most recognized gold bars in […]
Last week wasn’t a good one in the precious metals market, with all the main prices registering a loss. Palladium did come very close to holding its value over the period but the others all dropped, sometimes sharply. The main cause seems to have been a generally good week for equities, with the Dow Jones […]
For many decades, silver investing has been a popular choice among investors looking to store their wealth in the safety of precious metals. But when it comes to increasing exposure to silver, there are many different ways to do it, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. Some investors prefer the ease of ETF’s and […]
Last week was, again, a mixed one in the precious metals market but overall perhaps slightly better than the one before. Gold and platinum slid fractionally but not enough to worry about just yet, silver took a bigger dip and rhodium was the week’s main loser, but palladium finished comfortably ahead and by the close […]
Last week was another very mixed one for precious metals, with most of the key prices falling through the period then recovering sharply on Friday. Gold and palladium finished slightly up over where they were the week before, silver ended slightly down, platinum looked healthier and yet again rhodium barely moved. It’s hard to take […]
The Gold Krugerrand could arguably be called the world’s most famous gold bullion coin. Currently, it does not have the sales figures of the American Gold Eagle, but it may have more worldwide notoriety since it was the first gold bullion coin produced in modern times. Not only has it been around the longest, but […]
This is a common question for new investors when it comes to buying silver or gold online. In order to fully understand the answer to this question, you need to know what exactly the “spot price” of silver is. Silver Spot Price Spot silver is the “spot price” for which the commodity could be transacted […]
Last week was a slightly mixed one for the precious metal sector; silver fell and rhodium didn’t go anywhere, but all the other main commodities managed to rise to some extent. While the drop in silver prices was disappointing it was a reasonable week overall, and the situation in the wider economy has left many […]
Two weeks ago, for the first time in almost 100 years, the gold market daily price fix is about to change. This move is an attempt to achieve more transparency in the gold market and could provide a clearer picture into China’s voracious appetite for the yellow metal. Since 1919, the London Gold Fix has been […]
Last week was a very mixed one for precious metals. The platinum group performed poorly, with rhodium going nowhere and palladium losing value. Gold and silver, however, both managed to climb again, raising hopes that a more positive trend could be establishing itself there. There’s still a lot of volatility both in the metals sector […]
Coin collectors always have one eye on the bullion value of their coins and may also directly collect bullion in the form of gold, silver and platinum coins and bars.

The precious metals sector was confusing last week, with a mixed bag of performances and no clear pattern visible. The two big investment items, gold and silver, didn’t show a lot of movement. Neither did platinum, while palladium managed to rise. With the equities markets also rising quite strongly, propelled mostly by gains in defense […]

Once again there were disappointing results right across the precious metals sector last week, although the scale of losses varied. Overall it was a worrying period, because metals managed to lose ground even though the equities markets fell heavily. Normally we’d have expected to see metals make a lot of ground in these market conditions, […]
