What is Gold Bullion? Should I Invest?
Bullion is a precious metal, like gold or silver, that is valued primarily for its weight, purity, and metal content rather than its rarity or collectible factor. So, for example, a gold wedding band may not be considered bullion because its value is primarily from being a beautiful, decorative piece. But a one ounce bar of .9999 gold would be bullion because its main purpose is its value as a metal.
Bullion is typically what you should buy if you are purchasing gold with the intent to invest. It typically comes in bars, coins, and rounds.
| Form | Common sizes | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Coins | 1 oz, plus fractional sizes | American Gold Eagle, American Gold Buffalo, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf |
| Bars | 1 oz, 10 oz, 1 kilo | Mint-sealed bars from PAMP, Valcambi and others |
| Rounds | 1 oz | Privately minted, usually the lowest premium |
Purity varies: Gold Buffalos and Maple Leafs are .9999 fine, American Gold Eagles are .9167 (22k). Shop all gold

Why is Gold Bullion so Expensive?
Gold is so appealing as an investment because it has been valued as a store of wealth for thousands of years. It is rare, it does not tarnish or corrode, and its supply grows slowly. Many investors hold gold to diversify a portfolio and hedge against inflation, and it is easy to buy and sell because it is recognized and traded around the world.
Even though it is not as rare as palladium and platinum, gold bullion is currently worth a lot more because it has a massive global demand driven by jewelry, central bank reserves, and more. Gold is often used in a lot of technology as an excellent, durable conductor of electricity. Small amounts are used in almost every cellphone, computer, and circuit board.
Gold originates from ancient, deep-space cosmic events and came to earth from meteorites. It is found across the world, and there is no single dominant mining area, although China does account for around 10% of the mining output. It has been used as a standardized currency ever since around 550 BC, but was even used as a medium of exchange as far back as 2500 BC

Gold bullion FAQ
Quick answers to common questions about buying gold bullion.
Still have a question?
Call (503) 400-5608 or ask our team when you visit. No appointment needed.
Yes. Gold bullion is solid gold, not plated or coated. It is sold by weight and purity, and each coin or bar is stamped with its weight, its purity, and the mint or refiner that made it.
Fake gold does exist, so it matters where you buy. Choose a dealer with a long track record and clear return and insurance policies, and be careful with bargains that look too good to be true.
Central banks do. Governments hold large reserves of gold bars in secure vaults, and some banks store gold for other banks and governments.
Everyday banks and credit unions generally do not sell gold bars to the public. Precious metals dealers do, which is why most people buy bullion from a dealer such as us, in person or online.
Often, but not always. Many gold bars are .999 or .9999 fine, which is 24k. Gold Buffalo and Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins are .9999 fine.
American Gold Eagles are 22k (.9167 fine). The U.S. Mint adds copper and silver to make them harder wearing, but each coin still holds a full troy ounce of gold. The purity is stamped on the product and listed on each product page in our gold shop.
Generally yes. Gold coins and bars are recognized and bought by dealers around the world, so there is almost always a buyer. You are typically paid based on the weight and purity of your gold and the current market price, less the dealer's margin.
Bars and coins from well known mints, kept in good condition and in their original packaging, are the simplest to sell. We buy gold bullion in person at our Salem showroom and through our mail-in program. See how it works on our sell gold bullion page.
Many buyers like 1 oz gold bars because they are an easy size to buy, store, and resell, and they usually cost less over spot than a 1 oz gold coin. Larger bars cost less per ounce but need a bigger purchase, and smaller ones cost more per ounce.
Whether any gold product is a good investment depends on your goals, and the price of gold can rise as well as fall. Past performance does not predict future results, and you can lose money.
