Gold has always been a favorite commodity for investors all over the world. In present time there is presented a limited edition of gold bricks with a specific engraving and Hallmark That Increases its value. Gold has thus become a collectors’ article.

Based on the research of the Bristol University it was found out that beneath the surface of our planet there are still as huge deposits of precious metals quantity of which could easily  cover the entire surface of the Earth up to the height of four meters. The most logical way how to get to the wealth is through the deep boreholes. In practice this means to own machinery and equipment needed for mining that is capable to withstand the temperatures of 5,700°C reigning inside the earth’s crust. However, this method of mining of the popular precious metal is extremely expensive.

The recorded depth of the deepest borehole in history called “The Kola” was 12,262 meters. Therefore it is much more convenient  for potential investors and gold traders to be satisfied by disappearing reserves that are closer to the surface. Scientific studies suggest that gold hidden in the depths of our planet or on its surface has been a “monument” to the millions of tons of asteroids that had bombarded our planet 3-4 million years ago.

The first historical coins

Owning one of the most expensive metals in the world has always been a symbol of wealth and success. Gold has fascinated mankind for thousands of years. For example, history registers gold coins since the reign of King KROIS from ancient Lydia (now Turkey) more than 5600 years ago. Thanks to his decision to mint gold coins, the method of using the gold in the form of gold coins as currency had been spread to Europe and also worldwide. This metal is still considered to be relatively safest investment.

Nowadays

Harrods Bank, which is under the wing of world famous Harrods department store in London recently began selling limited edition of gold bars – hallmarked by exclusive Swiss company PAMP (Produits Artistiques Metaux Precieux). At the beginning of sales the candidate has ordered about 2,000 gold bricks.

Another possibility to procure a decent piece of gold is to buy gold bars or gold coins. Customers have the option to buy gold coins produced by mints around the world, including Britain, China and South Africa. In Switzerland there is a possibility to choose either  unembossed bars or very requested bars, each of which weighs 12.5 kilograms and its value is around 300,000 pounds. Metal purity is almost at the limit of 99.99% pure gold marked 999.9, the highest investment level of the PAMP hallmark, which is a guarantee the metal comes from a viable source.

Certain gold bars are referred to the number 8 and have gained popularity among the Chinese customers who associate this figure with happiness and positive mysticism. Another kind of gold bricks is also one of the sought-after collectors’ items. In fact it comes from the Jean Paul Gaultier´s designer workshop and he designed one ounce weighing  bricks engraved with heart, sunrays and his initials.

Not only for uncle Scrooge

If you feel that gold is only for swimmers who enjoy swimming among handfuls of gold coins deposited in their vaults, you are wrong. Owning gold is not as unaffordable.as you could think. If there is a passion for  precious metal with a golden sheen hidden deep inside of you, you can still afford to procure at least one gold bar or coin. They represent an effortless investment which can help to overcome unexpected financial turbulences.. There are definitely just few people able to resist its charm, beauty and shine.
