Before finalizing any gold purchase, asking the right questions can help you make a smarter investment. Elgin buyers should take time to gather important details before moving forward.

Make sure you ask:

• What is the bar’s purity and weight? – Confirm this aligns with standard investment grades.
• Is this gold bar from a recognized refinery? – Bars from known refineries are more liquid and easier to resell.
• Is the price based on current market rates? – Ensure pricing reflects today’s gold value, not outdated numbers.
• What is your return or buyback policy? – Know if and how you can resell or return the bar.
• Is the gold bar new or pre-owned? – While both are fine, this may affect pricing or appearance.
• Do you provide proof of authenticity? – Certificates or assay cards add confidence to your purchase.

Asking these questions helps eliminate surprises and allows you to proceed with greater confidence. Don’t hesitate to get clear, direct answers before making a commitment.
