What Is Gold Bullion?
Gold bullion refers to pure or nearly pure gold that comes in the form of bars, coins, or ingots. Unlike jewelry or collectibles, bullion’s value is based primarily on its gold content and weight, not artistic design or rarity. The most common forms of bullion include:
- Gold bars: Typically produced by private mints or refineries and stamped with their weight and purity (such as “1 oz .9999 fine gold”).
- Gold coins: Government-issued coins like the American Gold Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf, and South African Krugerrand are trusted worldwide for their authenticity and liquidity.
Investors purchase gold bullion as a hedge against inflation, currency fluctuations, and market instability. When you’re ready to sell, understanding how the gold market determines value is key to getting the best return.
How the Gold Market Works
Gold prices are driven by global supply and demand, currency strength, and economic trends. The spot price—the current market price for immediate delivery of gold—is updated by the minute. When you sell, the amount you receive is typically based on:
- The current spot price of gold
- The weight and purity of your bullion
- Market premiums and demand for specific coins or bars
- The buyer’s offer and refining costs
At Westlake Gold, we make the process transparent and straightforward. Our experts evaluate your gold bullion in front of you, explain how the market price applies, and offer top-dollar payouts on the spot. We track real-time gold prices daily, ensuring you always receive a fair and accurate offer.
