Before you buy gold or silver, always know the spot price of gold. You should expect to pay no less than the spot price of gold for popular gold bullion coins and bars. If the item is selling for a lot less than the spot price of gold, that is a big red flag. Why? Ebay is a relatively efficient market these days, especially as gold becomes more and more popular. If an authentic coin is selling at a steep discount to spot, you can buy it and sell it back to someone else for spot price and get an immediate profit (this is called arbitrage). In an efficient market, arbitrage should not happen. If you see a steep discount and it looks to good to be true, it probably is. Proceed with caution in that case.

Krugerrands are the best known of all the modern one ounce gold bullion coins, and are more readily available in greater quantities and can generally be bought at lower prices than any other one ounce bullion coins. They are not especially attractive, when compared to sovereigns and they do not possess much in the way of historical interest. But what they do have is consistent high production quality and they are a cost effective way for small investors to buy gold.

There is a good way to diversify in gold coin investing: by date. When you start getting into date and buying older coins, you get into the realm of numismatics. Once you have a solid bullion collection of coins, old and rare coins can definitely help your diversification cause. One great way to do this is to throw a few $20 gold Saint Gaudens double eagles in your portfolio, the most beautiful gold coin of all time. However, the topic of numismatics is a little beyond the scope of this article which is all about diversifying your bullion coin collection.

Another thing to remember, when looking through organized stock, is keeping the coins in the same order that the dealer has organized them in. Usually, U.S. coins will be in year order, with the individual Mint marks grouped together under each year. Sometimes dealers aren't too picky about the Mint marks as long as the years are in order. Whatever his filing system, always be respectful of this, and if you pull a coin out of the box to examine it, be sure you put it back in the proper place.
