Why invest in Canadian gold coins?
Gold is commonly regarded as a safe-haven for investors as its value tends to hold steady or even increase during times of economic instability. Gold bullion coins benefit from this trend with their value tied to the live spot price of gold.
Canadian gold coins are among the best in the world, consisting of 999.9 fine gold and revered for both their quality and accuracy of mint. Investors can keep them close at hand and they're a particularly good asset for those who may need access to their capital again in an emergency as they can be sold in small batches as required.

How to buy Canadian gold coins
If you’re new to buying gold coins, it’s worth taking some time to conduct research before getting started.
If you’re buying online, use well-established suppliers who are trusted by other consumers and have lots of positive independent customer reviews. By doing this, you can rest assured that many others have come before you and received a good deal and a good service from the company.
Another important factor to consider is a dealer’s delivery policy. Check which courier they use and, if it’s not a courier you’ve heard of before, search online to find out more about their reputation.
When you’re buying any gold bullion product, remember that the price should always be relevant to the live price of gold. Reputable distributors will show real-time pricing on their site that is updated throughout the day as the live gold market changes.
Buying high-priced items online is always a bit of a risk when you're new to the market. To allay any concerns, many people who invest in or collect start out small, buying just one of the smaller coins and testing the service of their chosen distributor before making a bigger commitment.
