Gold Coin Investment

Gold investment seems to be a hot cake nowadays. As such, new investor like me not really sure what type of gold investment to choose from. Basically there are 2 type of gold investment.


1) Physical gold purchase – coins or bullions

2) Paper gold purchase – savings books

Physical gold purchase, is basically you walking to a bank or shop to buy actual gold bullion or coin and keep the gold physically yourself.

Paper gold purchase is provided by most of the local banks, where you don’t buy actual physical gold , but do it in the form of saving books , where your purchase is recorded as unit of gram in the book. These type of purchase is consider save and the spread (delta between buy & sell), usually lower comparing physical gold spread.

OK…for those who like to hold actual gold (like me), options are many, and we need to choose wisely on what to invest for maximum gain when you sold it later. As such choose a very stable company with lowest spread is the best option. So, how do I choose? … To answer this I have compile a list of gold coins by different brands and distributor for you to choose from depends on your budget. I will update the list gradually. Remember, the ground rule of purchasing physical gold is stable company & lowest spread. Happy Investing…..
