As a physical asset, Bullion is inherently valuable. This is to say, physical precious metals have tangible, intrinsic and innate value in and of themselves, and they are, therefore, the only asset class that is not some outside entity's or third party's liability (as is the case with a stock or bond). Thus, the investor who owns the physical asset directly, and whether held in his/her personal custody or stored safely in his/her name in an insured account at a qualified facility, will enjoy the sense of security one derives from knowing that their investment portfolio is strengthened by the presence of an actual tangible asset with an intrinsic value, and not just a piece of paper, or derivative product, that serves as a proxy for precious metal.
Bullion Coins are highly refined precious metal products that are round in shape and produced to exacting specifications by numerous federal governments throughout the world, specifically for investment purposes . These coins are produced in large quantities and come in a variety of sizes, which are convenient to own and trade -- typically one, one-half, one-quarter, and one-tenth troy ounces. Their content - that is, the weight and purity of precious metal they contain -- is guaranteed by the governments that produce them.
