Buy gold safely
Buy gold from a reliable source
It is important to buy gold from a reliable source. A producer is only recognized if accredited by the London Bullion Market Association, better known as the LBMA. The LBMA issues the Good Delivery List annually. If a producer is on this list, it is confirmed that the gold they produce is at least 99.9% pure.The Silver Mountain only offers gold from recognized producers. We only work with official mints and gold refineries with Good Delivery Status. We offer a buyback guarantee with every order and provide a proof of authenticity.
The Silver Mountain is licensed by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) to offer gold and silver as investment objects.
Buy gold with certificate
New gold bars from producers such as Umicore and C.Hafner are delivered in protective blister packaging, which also serves as a certificate of authenticity. This certificate displays the serial number of the gold bar and confirmation from the refinery that it is 99.99% pure gold.Gold is not always delivered with a certificate. For example, gold coins are struck without a unique serial number. For this reason, a certificate cannot be linked to a unique coin. Official mints do not issue certificates for their gold coins. If you ever sell gold coins, a certificate will not be requested. Newly minted gold bars, on the other hand, are often delivered with a certificate. It is indicated for each product whether the gold is delivered with or without a certificate.
Buying Gold Safely and Securely
It's also important to receive gold in a secure manner. All orders at The Silver Mountain are processed in a specialized and secure external warehouse. Here, all packages are weighed and packed under camera surveillance in accordance with strict insurance conditions. All packages are discreetly packaged, without any mention of our trade name or other factors that could reveal the contents of the package.All shipping methods offered by The Silver Mountain are always fully insured. As an online consumer, you are also legally protected: should a package be lost during transport, we will arrange for a replacement shipment or refund the full purchase amount.
Recommended! For shipments within the Netherlands, The Silver Mountain uses its own delivery service via a house courier. The house courier delivers packages only after an ID check and only to your specified delivery address. You will receive advance information about the delivery date and time window, which can be adjusted in consultation. Our house courier has a 100% success rate and guarantees a safe, discreet delivery. Moreover, our couriers drive unmarked vans without logos.
Should I buy gold coins or goldbars
A common question is whether it's better to buy gold coins or gold bars. There are differences between these two forms of gold, but they also have similarities. Both are considered investment gold, meaning you can buy and sell gold without VAT globally. When the gold comes from a recognized producer and is 99.9% pure, it is considered a sound investment.
Gold Bars
When considering the price per gram, gold bars are generally cheaper to purchase than gold coins. Gold bars are minted in various weights, from 1 gram up to 1 kilo. The production costs of larger denominations are relatively cheaper.While gold bars are cheaper to purchase initially, you cannot divide them into pieces to sell. This means that when investing in gold, you should consider the denominations in which you buy it. Diversifying with multiple sizes of gold bars provides flexibility, as larger bars will be cheaper to purchase while smaller bars are easier to sell.
Smaller gold bars have the advantage that you don't have to exchange all your gold at once if you decide to sell some or all of it. In that case, you're relatively more expensive in terms of purchase. To be both flexible and purchase gold at low costs, you can opt for combination bars. These bars, like a chocolate bar, can be divided into smaller denominations that are easier to trade – specifically aimed at providing flexibility and a low price per gram.
Gold Coins
Many individual investors who buy gold opt for 1 troy ounce - 31.1034 grams - investment gold coins. A troy ounce is the global standard for gold that is 99.9% pure. Examples include the gold Maple Leaf and the gold Krugerrand. Compared to gold bars, there are higher premiums for gold coins, but you also receive a higher bid price when selling in the future. The advantage of coins is their ease of trade. Gold coins like the Maple Leaf and the Krugerrand are globally well-known and easily tradable everywhere.If you want to purchase gold for a smaller amount, fractional gold coins are a good choice. Fractional coins are minted in a fraction of a troy ounce, such as half a troy ounce or a quarter troy ounce. At The Silver Mountain, gold coins are available in 1/2 troy ounce, 1/4 troy ounce, and 1/10 troy ounce.
Why buy physical gold
Since the last financial crisis, trust in unbacked monetary systems like the euro and the dollar has diminished. Gold, on the other hand, has a good reputation for safeguarding purchasing power, and its value is generally highly stable.
Today, central banks still maintain significant gold reserves, and in recent years, many central banks have repatriated their gold reserves from abroad or even expanded them further.
Physical gold is increasingly popular, even among smaller private savers and investors. Buying gold is usually motivated by three reasons:
Diversification of Investments
Buying gold as an investment primarily seeks an increase in the gold price. Additionally, purchasing gold can ensure a good balance in an investment portfolio. If other assets perform poorly, holding gold can usually offset this. During times of financial uncertainty, it's interesting for investors to diversify investments and convert a portion into gold. Since 2008, the average increase in the gold price has been around 8.5% per year (measured in euros). Many savings rates lag behind this, and compared to the return on stocks, such an increase is relatively high. Therefore, gold offers a favorable return.Adding gold (and other precious metals) to an investment portfolio also helps diversify risks. Precious metals are not heavily dependent on other assets, allowing them to increase in value while stocks, bonds, or currencies decline.
Most people who buy gold do so with an investment horizon of at least 5 to 10 years. Despite gold being initially a defensive purchase - to preserve wealth - recent periods have shown that the gold price can rise significantly.
Buying Physical Gold as a Safe Haven in Times of Uncertainty
A second reason for choosing to buy physical gold is financial security. Gold is a rare and valuable precious metal valued by people worldwide. Therefore, owning physical gold is interesting; it can always be used as a medium of exchange.Moreover, owning physical gold is safer than holding gold trackers or ETFs (Exchange Traded Fund). Here, you not only deal with an intermediary, bank, or broker, but often it's not possible to physically deliver the gold. An important saying in the gold market is "if you don’t hold it, you don’t own it." Buying physical gold thus entails fewer risks and less dependence on the fiat money system.
By choosing gold, your wealth is protected against the instability of current financial systems. While savings rates cannot compensate for inflation, the gold price does.
In times where cash is increasingly disappearing and money systems are becoming more digital and abstract, physical gold in the form of gold coins and gold bars offers the opportunity for autonomous trading.
Buying Gold as Protection Against Inflation
Inflation is often referred to as the silent killer of your capital. Inflation leads to a significant decrease in purchasing power. By buying gold, you secure a portion of your wealth. Gold maintains its intrinsic value and thus its purchasing power. The actual value of gold has always remained very stable. With a gold coin of 1 troy ounce, one can buy the same amount of goods as 100 years ago. The purchasing power of today's currencies, on the other hand, has significantly declined over the past century.In the past 10 years (2014 to 2023), the inflation rate in the Netherlands averaged 2.55%. With an average annual inflation rate of 2.55%, the purchasing power of wealth decreases by about 50% within a period of 27 years.
Gold pick-up or delivery
Pickup
If you wish to pick up your purchased gold, you can do so at one of our office locations in Baarn or Den Haag. Select the option 'Pickup by appointment' at checkout in the webshop under shipping methods. Gold pickup is strictly by appointment only, and you must bring a valid identification for the visitors' register.
Delivery
We offer multiple delivery options. You can have your gold shipped via PostNL, but we also have an in-house courier specialized in valuable shipments. With our in-house courier, you can choose between daytime or evening delivery. All our delivery options are insured, and through identity verification, we ensure that your gold is delivered only to you.
Storage of gold
It is possible to store gold at home, but you can also choose to store your gold in an external vault. At The Silver Mountain, you can opt for our sister company, Edelmetaal Beheer Nederland (EBN), where your gold is stored in heavily secured vaults under AFM supervision. This is done fully allocated, meaning each piece of gold is registered in your name and insured.
EBN's storage locations are fully insured and meet the highest security standards. In the Netherlands, we collaborate with Dutch Value Logistics, a sister company of the Royal Dutch Mint. Various precious metals can be stored here.
The inventories at EBN are audited twice a year by an independent accountant, verifying both the physical inventory and the insurance policy. Your gold is securely protected in storage, and you can request your gold at any time.
When you request your gold, it may take up to a week before you can pick it up at our office address in Baarn. We do this to ensure the safety of your gold. Alternatively, you can choose to have your gold delivered to your home.
What to consider when buying gold
Seller
When deciding to buy gold, it's important to choose a reputable seller. Sellers with an AFM license and producers recognized by LBMA adhere to high-quality standards. The reliability of the seller can also be evidenced by (online) reviews, accessibility, and availability.Gold coins and gold bars
When deciding to buy gold, it's important to know the differences between coins and bars. Gold coins are sold at a higher premium compared to gold bars. Therefore, they are more expensive to purchase, but they are easier to trade than gold bars. In comparison, gold bars are cheaper to purchase and are available in various denominations, from 1 gram to 1 kilo.Buy genuine gold
Finally, it's important to purchase an authentic product.With the most common gold bars, a certificate of authenticity is included. With all orders from The Silver Mountain, proof of authenticity is provided, and you can take advantage of our unique buyback guarantee. On the product page, you can also see the dimensions and weights of the gold coin or gold bar. There should never be any discrepancies in these properties. You can easily verify these characteristics yourself. Gold coins or bars from unknown producers, or offered at too low a price, are better to avoid. Typically, common coins and bars are available at a premium of a few percentage points above the gold price. If you can buy gold somewhere at a discount, below the gold price, it's often not legitimate.
