How to Buy Gold in Las Vegas, NV

Gold, whether in the form of bars, coins, or jewelry, is a good way to diversify your portfolio. Other forms of investments often fluctuate with changing markets, while gold usually holds or even increases in value. An unpredictable global outlook can panic investors and cause the stock market, real estate, and cash values to decrease. During these times, gold generally remains stable. If you’re thinking of buying gold as an investment, your first step is to find a reputable gold seller like Las Vegas Jewelry and Coin Buyers.

What Is Gold?

Gold is a precious metal mined from the earth. Most gold comes from mines in South Africa, Russia, Australia, and the United States. Gold is a soft compound that’s quite malleable and can be worked into fine jewelry, beautiful coins, or bars called bullion. Almost half of mined gold is used in making jewelry, including ornate pieces with gemstones and delicate gold chains.

If you’re looking to sell gold jewelry at our Henderson, Nevada, showroom, our expert appraisers will assess the karat (or purity) of the gold and base the cash offer on the karat of the pieces. You can also buy a wide range of gold jewelry at fair and competitive prices.

Gold coins are a great investment, as they’re a tangible asset, small in size, and easy to store in a home safe. When you’re looking for a stable investment, consider buying gold coins.

What Are Reasons To Buy Gold?

The value of gold is recognized globally and is a smart way to have liquid assets. Because gold is recognized for its wealth and beauty, you can sell it anytime. Savvy investors buy gold in several forms to balance their other assets and diversify their investment portfolios.

There’s only so much gold available in the earth, making it scarce and in high demand. As gold gets mined and becomes even more scarce, the value will rise. Historic gold coins have even more significant value based on their condition, rarity, and age. Collectors of historic gold coins find them an attractive investment not only for their weight and karats but also for their historical significance.

Buying gold is a way to hedge against inflation and diversify your portfolio as well as a discreet way to build wealth.

How Do I Buy Gold?

First, decide what type of gold you want to buy. Some investors buy gold bars, which you can buy by the gram, ounce, or higher weights. Keep in mind when buying bars or bullions that for the gold to have investment quality, they need to be at least 99.5% pure gold. Our gold experts will let you know the purity of any gold bullion you buy.

Gold coins are one of the most popular ways to buy physical gold. While they’re generally about 91.67% gold, they hold their value because they actually have a face value. Popular gold coins to invest in are the U.S. Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf, South African Krugerrand, American Buffalo, and Chinese Gold Panda.

When you buy gold jewelry, look for jewelry that’s 18 karat or 14 karat. While 24-karat gold is 99.90% pure gold, it’s very soft and prone to damage. On the lower spectrum, 10-karat gold is only 41.70% pure and has a lower value. Most fine jewelry is made with 14- or 18-karat gold because of its durability. The purity of 14-karat gold is 58.30%, and 18-karat gold is 75% pure.

Whichever form of gold you want to buy, be sure to purchase it from a reputable dealer.

Where Do I Buy Gold?

While you can buy gold online, from pawn shops, or from individuals, choosing to buy from a reputable gold seller will give you peace of mind that you’re getting exactly what you’re paying for. In addition, you’ll know that the piece or pieces you’re buying come from a legitimate source and that the seller truthfully represents the gold’s purity and value.
