Precious Metals 101: Buy Silver at Spot Price Deals

As an incentive to new customers, some online dealers offer spot price deals to new customers as motivation to make a purchase. By combining all of the available spot price offers, it’s possible for an investors to build a small precious metals portfolio that contains roughly a kilogram of silver and 1 oz and 11 grams of gold.

Flipping Costco Gold Coins for Profit

Some investors are buying gold coins from Costco below melt value when factoring in the rewards. The premium on Costco’s gold coins appears to average around 2.5%. Once receiving them, they bring them to their local coin stores to sell back. If your local coin store will pay 3% above melt, then without factoring in other rewards, its possible to make a quick .5% profit.

However, there are ways to use other rewards to increase profits. Flipping gold coins for profits has been a side hustle that many collectors and numismatists have been using for a long time to increase their collections and investments in tangible assets.

Earlier in the year, Costco stated that gold sales contributed around $100 million in revenue in the final quarter of last year when they first began the offerings.

Since then, Costco has been making regular offerings of gold coins from both the US Mint and Royal Canadian Mint, such as the 1 oz Gold Buffalo and 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf coins.
