BEST PRICE GOLD PER GRAM
I BUY GOLD IN SWITZERLAND AGREES
In recent months there has been a boom in requests from gold buyers, some enter gold buyers to invest in the noble yellow metal, others go from gold buyers to monetize the gold they had at home. Everyone is looking for the cheapest gold, the one that applies the best price per gram and the one that offers the best evaluation of your gold.
The lockdown from coronaviruses and the profound economic crisis due to the closure of many production and commercial activities gave further impetus to requests from gold buyers.
In fact, on the one hand, many people need to have liquidity and, on the other, those who have resources to invest, look for the opportunity to buy gold at the best prices at the best price.
Many people are not working or still waiting for state subsidies and have immediate needs such as paying rents or utility bills. In other cases, many are led to see or buy gold simply for the high price reached by the quotations.
A natural solution is buying gold, or pawn shops which are having considerable success.
SWITZERLAND WORLD GOLD LEADER
In Switzerland passes most of the gold produced in the world thanks to four of the world’s leading gold refineries, which refine about 70% of the world’s gold.
A fifth of all gold refined by refineries in Switzerland comes from gold purchases and in particular from Vietnam, France, Italy , England, America, Japan. Switzerland is among the world’s largest operators in the gold trade.
In 2016, sales of yellow metal abroad accounted for 25 percent of total exports and this explains why turning to a gold buy in Switzerland is worthwhile , of course provided that you select one that offers favorable and transparent prices for the customer.

GOLD PRICES AND VALUATIONS FOR INGOTS AND GOLD COINS
Throughout history, gold was the most valuable material used as a legal tender coin . Today, this is no longer the case since it has been replaced by national currencies whose coins and banknotes are never gold, except for commemorative events or special issues. So nowadays the value attributed to gold coins can be of two types:
1 – linked to the market price of gold based on the demand and supply of the precious metal: we report the quotation per gram in real time in the graph on the page.
2 – The second is a numismatic value that has the same principle of supply and demand, but based not on the fine gold content, but on the rarity of the gold object: when ten thousand people ask for a specific coin of a specific year, of which to give an example, only 10 specimens have been minted, it is normal for the price to go up and to become much more expensive than the value of the gold present in the currency. This is the numismatic value. The most common coins issued in large quantities do not assume a numismatic value that is greater than that of the gold content of the coin, which is the subject of this article.
Investment gold coins have low numismatic value and due to their large quantity they are exchanged at the current price based on their gold content (also called title and expressed in thousandths). However, some currencies, essentially exchange-traded, (for example the pound, marengo or krugerrand ) may assume prices slightly higher than the value of gold, especially immediately after minting: in this last case a small numismatic surcharge is paid linked to the novelty factor of the ’emission.
Gold price by GoldBroker.com
The most common investment coins are indicated in the following table on the basis of which all the assessments of the gold purchase are made, both for purchase and for sale.
Gold quotation and transparent calculation of the reference value of a gold coin with the same criterion used by gold buyers:
The value is established by buying gold by multiplying the price of the day of gold by the quantity of gold (expressed in grams) present in the coin (the price of the graph in real time on the page, already expressed per gram and in €, multiplied by l last column on the right in the table).
So for example if you want to calculate the value of a pound of gold today :
- Check the price of gold at the moment by making for example 51 euros per gram (May 2020) .
- Multiply this value by the grams of pound gold (51 euro / g * 7.322 g).
- So you get the reference value of 373.42 euros.
To be considered an investment currency and to enjoy the VAT exemption, according to Italian law, the coin must have at least 900 thousandths, or 21 carats, as a title. 24 karat pure gold is 999 ‰ gold. The gold coins in the previous table are all investment coins .
How to calculate the price of a gold coin
We have seen how to calculate the reference price of a coin and that this varies according to the quantity of gold contained in it. It is therefore possible to start investing in gold coins starting from 160 euros by purchasing 1 Austrian duchy of just over 3 grams or buying a 37-gram coin at around 2000 euros (50 Mexican pesos); a pound gold can cost around € 370 today while a gold marengo costs around € 300. The final price will also depend on the commission applied by the intermediary at this price which is estimated to be central between supply and demand.
As for the commission to be paid to intermediaries, the percentage varies according to the total amount to be used and by the operator in question. It is good to select the broker well in order to derive a lower commission for our investment. The best operators on the Italian market sell investment coins at a price increased by about 10% compared to the reference price. In some cases it drops to 5%.
I buy gold in Switzerland to which we direct our customers, they all apply commissions of less than 2.5%.
As regards taxation, according to the law n.7 of 17 January 2000, investments in gold are VAT exempt . When and if you intend to sell the investment made in gold, you will be subject to taxation on any capital gain that will be indicated in the tax return.
Where to buy a gold coin at the cheapest price
An investment gold coin such as those shown in the table above can be purchased through two main channels:
- From individuals (for example on Ebay, to markets, from friends or acquaintances, etc.).
- From intermediaries (banks, stockbrokers, metal bank).
As far as intermediaries are concerned, it is possible to search for professional operators who carry out the sale of gold where all operators authorized and authorized by the Bank of Italy are listed, or contact us to be directed towards the best Gold Buy in Chiasso based on the your needs.
Some Gold Buyers apply lower commissions on the sale, others on the purchase, others on the purchase of used gold.
When you decide to buy a coin, you also have the advantage of being able to enjoy the beauty of the coin. Among all the investment possibilities, together with jewels, it is certainly the one that offers the most beautiful processing of precious metal, also giving us a historical value of the object. In addition, the coins are much easier to carry with us than a heavy ingot and lend themselves to splendid gifts for children and grandchildren.
