About Gold
Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au. Gold is a dense, soft, malleable metal. Pure gold has a bright yellow color, and pure gold is reflected by the terms 24kt or .999.
Gold is also used for many purposes, such as jewelry and investment. Different uses call for different purities, such as most jewelry being 14 karat gold or .585 pure, or most dental gold being 16 karat gold or .666 pure.
Pure gold, 24 karat .999 pure, is the only type of gold that most investors desire, either in the form of coins or bullion. Most other forms of the metal have to be refined back to 24 karats to be reused.
About Silver
Silver is a metallic chemical element with the symbol Ag. Silver is a soft, white, lustrous transition metal, and it has the highest electrical conductivity of any element. This makes silver a very needed metal for industrial usage, as well as a sought-after metal for jewelry and investment purposes. Pure silver is reflected as .999 (the same as gold).
Other than the 90% pure old U.S. coins, pure silver .999 is the only type of silver that investors desire, either in coin or bullion form. Sterling and coin silver are usually always melted and refined before they can be sold.

Coin Facts
Please visit Private Coin Buyers™ Coin Guide to get an idea of your coins' values. Many coins are worth their weight in gold or silver (market), but many coins are rare and worth more. If a store is not willing to share this information with you, why would you take your coins there? Private Coin Buyers™ has a great Coin Guide to help you. If you have any questions, just give us a call or come by and talk with one of our experts.
When buying coins and bullion, think twice about buying paper gold/silver or stocks in gold and silver companies. It is much better to own physical gold or silver than a piece of paper. If the company that sold you a piece of paper fails, you lose your investment, but if you own the real deal (physical gold and silver), you can never lose. Private Coin Buyers™ sells gold and silver coins and bullion.
