What kind of bullion can I purchase from APMR?

Accurate Precious Metals sells the most widely recognized gold and silver bullion on the market: government-minted coins such as the American Gold Eagle and American Silver Eagle, popular private-mint rounds, and bars in a range of sizes. Everything we sell is priced against the live spot market and ships insured in discreet packaging.

Gold bullion

• American Gold Buffalo. The United States Mint's 24-karat (.9999 fine) coin, popular with buyers who want pure gold in a US legal-tender coin.
• American Gold Eagle. The most widely traded gold coin in the United States. It is 22-karat (91.67% gold) alloyed with copper and silver for durability, but each one ounce coin still contains a full troy ounce of gold.
• Canadian Gold Maple Leaf. A .9999 fine coin from the Royal Canadian Mint, recognized worldwide.
• South African Gold Krugerrand. The original modern bullion coin, 22-karat, and one of the most traded gold coins in the world.
• Gold bars. Bars from recognized refiners carry the lowest premium over spot per ounce, making them the most cost-efficient way to accumulate gold.

Silver bullion

• Buffalo silver rounds and generic silver rounds. One troy ounce .999 fine rounds struck by private mints. They have no face value, which keeps premiums low and makes them a favorite for buyers who want the most silver per dollar.
• American Silver Eagle. The official silver bullion coin of the United States, one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, with strong resale demand.
• Canadian Silver Maple Leaf. A .9999 fine one ounce coin from the Royal Canadian Mint.
• Silver bars. Available in a range of weights, offering low premiums for larger purchases.
• Silver coinage. Pre-1965 US dimes, quarters and half dollars containing 90% silver, traded on melt value. A full $1 of face value holds about 0.715 troy ounces of silver.

We also carry coins from private mints.

Choosing between them

The right product depends on your goal. Government coins carry higher premiums but are instantly recognizable and easy to resell anywhere. Bars and rounds give you more metal for the same money. If you are funding a Precious Metals IRA, note that gold must be at least 0.995 fine and silver at least 0.999 fine: the Buffalo, the Maple Leafs and most bars qualify on purity alone, the American Gold Eagle is allowed under a specific IRS exception, and the 22-karat Krugerrand is not eligible.
