The Difference between Gold Bullion Coins and Numismatic Gold Coins

As a gold investor, you might be interested in including some gold coins in your portfolio.  However, SOME gold coins are a better investment than OTHERS.  That is why I’m going to explain the difference between gold bullion coins and numismatic gold coins.

 

What Are Gold Bullion Coins?

A bullion coin is struck from gold, silver, platinum, or palladium.  We will be focusing on gold bullion coins in this post.  Although some carry a face value of legal tender (currency), they are now usually minted as an investment or for collectors rather than to be used in day-to-day commerce as they were up until the early 20th century. 

Its real value, however, is its troy weight and what the current gold market value is, which has nothing to do with its face value.  Gold bullion coins come in several sizes and weights.  We’ll discuss this in detail in the next post, where I will list the most popular gold bullion coins worldwide.
