Buy Gold Coins in the Twin Cities

For most first-time buyers, a one-ounce American Gold Eagle. It is the most widely recognized and most liquid gold coin in the United States, which means the easiest to sell later and the least likely to be questioned. Call and I'll talk through your situation before you spend anything.

The American Gold Eagle is 22 karat, alloyed with a little copper and silver, which makes it more durable to handle. The American Gold Buffalo is 24 karat, .9999 fine, so it is softer but purer. Both contain a full troy ounce of gold. The Buffalo usually carries a slightly higher premium.

Sometimes. A tenth-ounce Eagle costs more per ounce than a full ounce, but it gives you the ability to sell a small amount without liquidating a whole ounce. If you are building a position slowly or want flexibility later, they earn their premium. If you are buying purely by weight, full ounces are more efficient.

We focus on bullion coins, which are priced off gold content rather than rarity. We do handle pre-1933 US gold when it is available. If you are looking at graded or numismatic pieces, I'm a GIA certified appraiser and I'll give you a straight opinion on whether the premium is justified.

There is no minimum and no practical maximum. One coin is a perfectly normal order and we treat it the same as a large one. For larger purchases we can arrange to meet you at your bank so the metal goes straight into your safe deposit box.

Yes. We buy gold every day, which means you always have a buyer for what you bought from us. Bring the coins back whenever you like and I'll quote you against the live spot price, showing you the calculation the same way I did on the way in.
