Questions

Is BestGoldPrice.com free?

Yes. Companies may pay us a commission when you buy through our links. You pay the same price, and it never changes our rankings. How we make money.

What’s the cheapest way to buy gold?

Usually 1 oz bars or common government coins like the Maple Leaf or Krugerrand, paid by bank wire, from a dealer whose total delivered price is lowest that day.

Should I buy physical gold or open a Gold IRA?

A Gold IRA keeps retirement tax benefits but costs a few hundred dollars a year. Buying coins is cheaper, but there’s no tax benefit. The quiz can help you decide.

Do you give financial advice?

No. We publish general information and price comparisons. For decisions about your own savings, talk to a licensed financial or tax professional.
