Buying gold coins has increased significantly in popularity in recent years and is favored by both investors and collectors. Gold coins fall under the category of investment gold. This means you do not pay VAT when purchasing them. This makes investing in gold coins very attractive. Due to the large inventories we maintain, gold coins can often be delivered directly from stock.
When buying gold coins you can choose from different weights and types of coins. You can choose gold investment coins, historical gold coins or gold coins with potential collector value. When buying gold coins always pay attention to the price per gram of gold. This allows you to easily compare coins from different producers, purities and weights and determine which product is most cost effective.
Below we distinguish between buying gold investment coins, historical gold coins and gold collector coins:
When you want to buy gold investment coins, Holland Gold offers well known coins such as the Maple Leaf, Krugerrand, Philharmoniker, Britannia, Kangaroo and American Eagle. The most commonly sold weight for gold coins is 1 troy ounce. These coins contain 31.103 grams of pure gold. You can choose from new mint years and mixed mint years.
Coins with mixed mint years are purchased through the market, checked and then resold. New gold coins come directly from the mint which means mint production costs are included in the price. From an investment perspective, 1 troy ounce gold coins with mixed mint years are often attractive because costs are lower and because upon resale you usually receive the same amount per ounce regardless of mint year. Always make sure the producer of the gold coin is LBMA certified and that the coin meets the Good Delivery standard.
In addition to gold investment coins you can also buy historical gold coins. These are coins that were actually used as legal tender in the past. Examples include the Dutch Gold Ten Guilder and the British Sovereign. These coins were often minted in large quantities which means they are usually traded close to the gold price without a large collector premium.
You can also buy gold collector coins. Please note that when reselling gold, buyers usually focus on the intrinsic gold value of the coin. To realize collector value you often need to find a specific buyer who is willing to pay this premium. For this reason many investors choose gold investment coins or historical gold coins.
The most commonly sold gold coins within the investment coin category are 1 troy ounce coins such as the Maple Leaf, Krugerrand, Philharmoniker, Britannia, Kangaroo and American Eagle. Within historical gold coins, the Dutch Gold Ten Guilder, British Gold Sovereign, gold ducats, 10 francs coins and 20 francs coins are the most traded.
Many investors choose to invest in 1 troy ounce gold coins when buying gold coins. If you are not yet familiar with investing in gold coins, the term troy ounce may not mean much to you. A troy ounce is a unit of weight that is specifically used for precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum.
One troy ounce equals approximately 31.103 grams and is heavier than a standard ounce from the everyday measurement system. This measurement system has been used since the Middle Ages and originated in the French trading city of Troyes where traders needed a fixed standard for valuable goods and precious metals.
1 troy ounce gold coins are the most traded format worldwide within investment gold. These gold coins are very popular among investors because of high liquidity, transparent pricing and global recognition. This makes 1 troy ounce gold coins easy to buy.
