Gold Bullion

Gold bullion refers to gold valued primarily for its metal content rather than numismatic rarity, sold in standardized coin and bar formats close to the live spot price. This category spans two broad categories: sovereign-minted gold coins, produced by government mints and carrying legal tender face value, and gold bars, produced by private or sovereign refiners and sold strictly by weight and purity.

Gold coins from mints such as the U.S. Mint (American Gold Eagle, American Gold Buffalo), the Royal Canadian Mint (Gold Maple Leaf), the South African Mint (Krugerrand), the Austrian Mint (Philharmonic), and Mexico's Casa de Moneda (Centenario, 2 and 10 Pesos) are typically struck in .900 to .9999 fine gold, depending on the series -- Krugerrands and older Mexican pesos use a .9167 alloy for added durability, while Maple Leafs, Buffaloes, and Philharmonics are .9999 pure. Gold bars, by contrast, are almost always .9999 fine and produced by private refiners including PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, Credit Suisse, and the Perth Mint, or by sovereign mints producing bar-format bullion. Common weights run from fractional gram bars (1g, 2.5g, 5g, 10g) up through kilo bars, while coins are typically sold in troy ounce and fractional-ounce sizes (1/10, 1/4, 1/2, 1 oz).

At Lone Star Coins, this hub brings together sovereign coins and private-mint and mint-produced bars across gram and troy-ounce sizes, in sealed assay packaging where applicable, with random-year and date-specific options. Inventory is priced against live spot gold, held in stock in our San Antonio showroom, and available for nationwide shipping or in-person pickup.
