Bullion Coins

Coins struck from a precious metal that may be bought and sold for investment. Most bullion coins are at least 99.9% pure. Bullion coins are commodities that investors often use as a hedge against recession and inflation. Thus, while it is volatile like most commodities, it always maintains a relatively high value. Bullion coins trade for higher prices than the metals from which they are made, accounting for costs associated with their manufacture.
