Why to invest in Bullion coins?
The first advantage of investing through Bullion coins is that their costs are easily found in international financial journals. Compared to their bulkier counterparts, gold coins are more easily handled because they are typically produced in smaller sizes, typically one ounce or less. Reputable vendors are widely available and can be found in many large cities. For investors who are primarily interested in gold, widely circulated coins should be the focus, and rare specimens should be kept for collectors, even though older, rare gold coins have numismatic or “collector’s” value beyond their intrinsic gold worth. The American Eagle, the Canadian Maple Leaf, and the South African Krugerrand are a few examples of gold coins that are commonly used.
Due to its historically low correlation with other financial assets, gold is a hedge against future economic downturns that is popular among investors. Bond yields typically decrease in response to rising gold prices. Gold futures with a February 5, 2024 maturity date were trading at Rs 62236 per 10 grams on the MCX, down 0.51 percent.
