Gold Coins for Anyone and Everyone


Gold coin business is a brisk business as anyone with any financial background will purchase it. This is because gold coins are available in various weights starting from less than a gram to fifty grams. In India, it is customary to calculate the wealth of an individual by the amount of gold he possesses. The tradition still continues and hence Indians are top ranked as gold consumers. During an individual's lifetime, gold is bought, sold and gifted for one or the other reason. It can be said that gold has become a part and parcel of an Indian's life.

In India, buying gold coins is easy and effortless. They can be bought through government post offices, nationalized and private banks, MMTC and Jewellery showrooms (both offline and online). One can rely on the quality of the coins that are bought from MMTC, post offices and banks since they are not only of good quality but also authentic in nature. But, if the coins are intended to be sold in future, it is not advised to buy from them as RBI rules do not support the buyback option. However, jewellery stores will accept coins bought from MMTC, banks and post offices but at a lesser price. The differential amount is collected for the service they render.

Gold coin purchase is considered as an informed and smart decision as it is one of the vital investment options to convert into money at the time of emergency. Hence purchaser needs to be a bit cautious while buying and selling coins. Certified coins yield better as they come with a purity certification which also provides details about its weight and Karat. Use of symbols on them too matter a lot. A genuine coin will have the symbol 'g' on it denoting its weight in grams and will have the symbol '%' for denoting its purity in percentage. On the contrary, fake coins will have "G" or '/" in the place of "g" and "%".

Gold coin rates not only vary based on their weights but it also depends on their fineness or purity. 24 karat gold price is a bit high than 22 karat gold and are denoted with a hallmark symbol such as 999 and 916 respectively. Normally it is recommended to get 24 karat coins in case of investment and 22 karat gold coins, if it is intended to be used for making jewellery in nearby future.
