Bullion By Post offer a great range of bullion bars and coins ideal for investment. Bullion By Post are
a supplier of physical gold and silver only and do not deal with alternative forms of gold investment
such as electronic gold or ETFs. Physical gold is the ultimate insurance against an underperforming
wider economy. Historically people buy gold in times of financial crisis with the general rule of
thumb being whilst stocks, property and currencies are performing poorly, the gold price will
continue to rise.
Gold bars are a popular bullion investment option and are available in various sizes from 1 ounce
gold bars to a 1 kilo gold bar. The most popular size tends to be the 100g gold bars which offer
greater flexibility when selling your gold providing you with the option to part sell. It is worth noting
that smaller units hold a small premium, so it would be fractionally more expensive to buy five 50g
gold bars than one 250g gold bar for example, however this small premium is usually preferred
by investors as part selling can often help you gain the highest returns. This very concept is often
a reason why many investors prefer to invest in gold coins over gold bars. Bullion by Post offer a
great range of gold coins for sale including krugerrands, gold sovereigns and gold Britannia coins.
It’s worth taking into consideration the more coins or bars you buy, the cheaper the unit price will
become so it is often a good idea to team up with a family member to buy your bullion together,
that way you will get the very best price you can.
Silver bullion bars and coins are also a popular option with investors. The silver price is regarded
as being slightly more volatile than the gold price so it is advised that silver is a more long term
investment then that of its counterpart gold. Despite the market being a little more difficult to
predict, the rewards over the past few years have been even higher than that of gold with silver
increasing by 254% in the last three years from September 2008 to September 2011. Despite
gold having experienced staggering growth during the same period, gold has increased 143% in
comparison.
