We recommend that in general, you only buy gold bullion and silver bullion products from reputable bullion dealers. For example, GBS is an authorized dealer with the Royal Canadian Mint - which gives any bullion dealer instant credibility.
We not recommend buying from the bank, as the premiums and prices are generally much higher.
While price is the major factor when it comes to investing, you should always make sure you are buying your bullion from a reputable source and a well established bullion dealer in Canada. This guarantees the purity and ensures that your gold bullion will be genuine. For example, GBS is a DNA dealer registered with the RCM.
If your goal is to buy cheaper gold bullion , we recommend lower premium products, such as a pre owned product. You can also purchase in bulk - as we offer tiered pricing / savings based on quantity.
Always do your due diligence when it comes to buying gold bullion and silver bullion. We recommend by starting with a phone call to the company to see how they treat a prospective client - or reading reviews on google!
Whether you buy 1 oz of the form of a coin, bar, or round – you essentially hold 1 oz of gold bullion.
There are a few main differences that separates a coin from a bar and a round.
Coins are minted by sovereign mints and government entities - which allows each coin to have a legal tender attribution from the country they were minted. For example, the 1 oz maple leaf gold coins have a $50 face value.
Coins are also world known and recognizeable, since they are associated to the countries that produce them.
Examples of these coins include:
The Maple Leaf from the RCM
The Eagle from the US Mint
The Britannia from the Royal Mint
The Krugerrand from the South African Mint
The Philharmonic from the Austrian Mint
The Kangaroo from the Australian Mint
Overall purity can also play a factor. Most coins have a purity of 99.99%, whereas some bars and rounds will have a purity of 99.90% However, the overall value of gold bullion will still be 1 oz, no matter which piece you own.
Bars can be government minted, or privately minted. Rounds are generally privately minted.
Bars (ingots, wafers) and rounds will always carry a lower premium (price above the spot price) vs coins - as the manufacturing cost is cheaper.
Some people believe that it will be easier to get better price when reselling a coin vs a bar vs a round – but this is all dependent on the coin dealers you sell to and the relationship you have built with these gold dealers
The large majority of gold dealers and silver dealers in Canada focus entirely on the precious metal, purity and weight when they are buying the product back. As the large majority of these products are mass produced - there is no true advantage to a coin over a round - if you get paid the same price when you sell it down the line.
Thats why we always recommend trying to buy bullion as close to the spot price as possible, regardless of the product.
As long as its a well known and resellable product - you will always be safe to sell!
This refers to the purity of the coin itself. Gold bullion coins with 9999 fineness are considered to be 99.99% pure, whereas an item with a 999 fineness is considered 99.90% pure.
Whether you hold 1 troy oz of 9999 or 999, it is still 1 troy oz of the precious metal.
In the bullion industry, purity is determined by "fineness". All pieces sold by GBS have a minimum fineness of 99.9% - as is the minimum requirement to be considered a gold bullion investment vehicle in Canada.
24 Karat refers to the purity of the gold (primarily used in the jewellery industry, it is measured on the 24k scale.)
For example, this would make 18k jewellery 75% pure , as it is simply 18/24 on the karat scale.
In Canada, gold bullion is considered an investment vehicle and is exempt of tax. For a gold bullion piece to be considered investment grade, it must have a minimum of 99.5% purity. For a piece of silver bullion , it must have a purity of 99.9% .
Most residents of Canada believe that 1 oz Maple Leaf coins from RCM is the best product to buy. This is due to the security features, purity of 9999 (99.99%), the fact that this piece of gold bullion is known world-wide - and of course, we are a proud nation who buy our own product!
At GBS, we believe any gold coins (which means it was minted by a government entity and has a legal tender attributed to it) are a good piece to buy and add to your collection. Some other popular gold coins include the 1 oz Eagle from the US mint, the 1 oz Britannia from the Royal Mint, the 1 oz Philharmonic from the Austrian Mint, etc.
As long as the gold coins you purchase are recognizable and from well known mints - they are all great investments!
The price of gold bullion is constantly changing, as it is linked to the live price of gold. We recommend using a website like Kitco to help you determine the current live prices of precious metals. This website also shows gold bullion price in oz, gram, kilogram, etc.
Bullion products are generally worth the amount a bullion dealer would pay for it.
This is the generally "spot price" of the precious metal - or sometimes a few percentage points below the spot price - depending on their overall position on the metal, current inventory levels and overall volatility of the precious metals market at the time of sale.
Your goal should always be to pay as little above the spot price when buying investment precious metals. Keep in mind, when buying a coin or a more unique item, the premiums and the amount over spot will always be higher than a round, bar, or a generic or pre owned product
There really is no fixed number of what you should pay over spot for gold bullion. The closer you can purchase to the spot price at the time of purchase, the better - as this maximizes your investment and the gains realized when you decide to sell.
For example, a brand new 1 oz gold coin - will always be the highest premium.
The next cheapest option will likely be a brand new bar or round.
The overall best value purchase would be pre owned product, as this will be the closest to the spot price.
Each investor is different, so it depends on the individual person.

You can buy gold bullion from the bank - but we would strongly advise against it. You will pay a much higher price and the bank will not provide you with any guidance on how the gold bullion market works.
Instead, we recommend buying from a well recognized bullion dealer like GBS. You will generally pay less per oz when you buy - get paid more when you sell - and most importantly - the major advantage is that we care about your investment!

Whether you buy 1 oz of silver bullion in the form of a coin, bar, or round – you essentially hold 1 oz of silver bullion.
The major differences are the price, manufacturer and design.
Coins are minted from a government entity, hold a legal tender attribution in the country of their manufacturing and usually have higher manufacturing costs. That makes them the most expensive product.
However, the overall value will still be 1 oz, no matter which piece you own.
Bars (ingots, wafers) and rounds will hold the same weight of precious metal, but will not have a legal tender or may be missing certain security features or details.
People believe that it will be easier to get a higher premium when reselling a coin vs a bar vs a round – but this is all dependent on the silver dealers you sell to and the time of sale.
Most silver buyers look at an oz of silver as an oz of silver, regardless of the type of product.
This refers to the purity of the item itself. A product with 9999 fineness is considered 99.99% pure , whereas an item with a 999 fineness is considered 99.90% pure.
Yes! The RCM Maple Leaf coin is one of our most popular products.
They are minted by the the Canadian government (RCM), and each coin carries a legal tender of $5. They have great security features and are world known - however, they do tend to hold a higher premium.
You can also take advantage of our Silver Starter Kits - which come in 5 oz, 15 oz and 25 oz increments to start your bullion investing portfolio!
We do believe all bullion is a good investment – whether coins, bars or rounds.
All silver bullion coins have a minimum purity level of 99.9% pure (commonly seen in the industry as .999). The RCM Maple Leaf is considered to be the purest silver coin, as it is actually .9999 (99.99% pure, versus other rounds which may be 99.90% pure). The RCM even released a 99999 fine coin - although the overall weight will always be the same 1 oz.
Any coin, round, or bar that is considered genuine bullion will have a stamping or indication of what the purity level is. A minimum acceptable level is .999 in Canada.
Most bullion silver coins are a minimum of 99.90% silver. Some are even more pure, at 99.99% silver.
However, most countries circulated silver coins prior to the 1970s.
For example, circulated coins from Canada will either be 92.5%, 80% or 50% silver.
Most American circulated silver will be 90% or 40% silver.
Products known as “junk silver” (CAD circulated coins and USD circulated coins) would be taxed as they do not meet the minimum requirements for the silver bullion grade tax exemption
You do not pay tax on pure silver bullion. Any silver bullion piece that has a purity of 99.9% pure silver or more, is tax exempt in Canada.
Banks generally do not bullion from clients. When they do - it is at a much lower price than you would expect to receive from reputable bullion dealers or gold dealers . GBS is always in the market to buy and sell gold bullion and silver bullion .

We recommend that you never clean or polish your bullion. Tarnish, scratches, dents and blemishes are often the result of the minting process, handling or other factors. Generally, the value of bullion is based on the weight and the purity of the item. The only time the above could affect the value is if the item is drastically damaged, scratched or flawed - or if you have a piece that is considered numismatic (low mintage)
Unfortunately, at this time we do not offer any vaulting services. However, if you are looking for vaulting services - we would be happy to provide you with a few options.
