How to Buy Physical Gold and Silver
It’s simple to buy gold and silver for your investment portfolio. Because the price of precious metals can vary during the trading day, first take some time to understand the pricing structure and different factors that influence how much you can expect to pay.
1. Understand How Gold and Silver Are Priced
Beyond the basic influences on gold and silver pricing, such as inflation, supply and demand, and interest rates, you’ll encounter other terms related to pricing. They include:
- Spot: The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) sets the spot prices used as a global benchmark. These can change every minute during the trading day. This is a one-time, open-market cash transaction price.
- Ask: The price at which dealers offer to sell.
- Bid: The price market makers offer to pay for precious metals.
- Premium: An additional charge that covers the cost of manufacturing and distribution.
- Spread: The difference between the buying and selling price.
2. Decide Where to Buy Precious Metals
Typically, the best company to buy gold from is a reputable dealer. But how do you know where to find a trusted gold dealer? Here’s what to watch for as you shop:
- Investigate the dealer’s reputation and online reviews.
- Look for dealers with accreditation through recognized industry bodies.
- Purchase precious metals from dealers that sell products minted by recognized organizations.
- Ensure the dealer provides fully insured delivery and uses reputable courier services for shipping.
- Check the dealer’s pricing against the market prices for gold and silver.
3. Place a Secure Order
When purchasing online, ensure the site you purchase from is secure (look for “https” in the URL) and that you use a secure payment method. Or, if you call directly to make a purchase, be sure to validate the company’s contact information.
If you plan on taking direct delivery of your gold or silver coins, the dealer will securely package the precious metals and ship them to you. They should include a tracking number so you can monitor its delivery status.

Safely Store Your Gold and Silver Investments
If you purchase physical gold that you don’t plan to hold in an IRA and choose to deliver your metals directly, you’ll need to arrange for home storage. When storing at home, follow these best practices:
Invest in a High-Quality Safe
A high-quality safe is a must for storing precious metals at home. Seek safes that are fire- and water-resistant. They should also be challenging to move or break into.
Keep the Location Hidden
Share the details of your safe’s location with only a few trusted people.
Purchase Additional Insurance Coverage
Most home insurance policies do not cover investments like gold or silver bullion. You’ll need to purchase additional insurance coverage—either as a stand-alone policy or as a rider for your existing one—to help protect that investment.
