Storing Wealth and Investing

Most people think of buying bullion and coins as an investment. There is certainly upside potential to turn a profit with bullion investments.

A more practical approach is to view precious metals as a store of value and wealth. Similar to a savings account at a bank, but without the bank. During troubling financial times it is important to have safe, stable assets in case of a financial emergency. Precious metals like fractional gold bars are physical assets in many of the same ways as real estate or land. Though buying, selling and holding fractional gold bars or coins is much simpler.

Gold bars are most often from private mints. For many investors, 1 oz gold bars are a popular choice due to the wide availability and low premiums.

Fractional gold coins like the 20 Francs and British Sovereign are affordable, easy to stack and at times have the lowest premiums of other fractional gold.
