How do you know if a coin or bar is real and pure gold?
I’ve been looking at some gold coins and gold bars. What do I need to look for to make sure they are pure gold?
When you get a bar gold bullion it comes in a sealed container for each piece – referring to 1oz (this denomination will fit in your wallet). Every piece has been assayed. If you open it it will need to be re assayed. The bars are also from one of a handful of mints. Each par has its’ own serial number, and forging mint stamped on it. Coins are a little different. 1st the are usually around 90% to 92% pure gold vs 99.9 % for a bar. 2nd you are buying the artisty, and people’s desire of a particular stamping. If they do not come in an assayed protective sleeve – then you need to have them assayed. Gold is more difficult to sell if the item has been removed from its’ protective assayed sleeve. Shipping is pretty easy – the US Postal service takes high value items. According to one of the clerk’s ‘… the loss or mis-placement of a highvlaue insured item is one of the only ways to lose your job …’ at the Post Office.
