Buying gold or silver — which is right for you?

Gold: A Stable Store of Value and Compact

Gold offers a lot of value in a small amount and is exempt from VAT as investment gold. It is the classic choice for those who want to preserve value.

Silver: accessible and dynamic

Silver is cheaper per gram, allowing you to start with a small budget. Please note: VAT generally applies to silver, and its price fluctuates more than gold’s.

The Choice

If your main goal is to preserve value, gold is the obvious choice. If you’re looking for an accessible way to get started or to diversify your portfolio, silver is a great addition. Our specialists are happy to help you choose.

At Goudmunter, you can buy and sell gold and silver with confidence: your items are appraised fairly in your presence, with immediate payment and pickup at one of our five locations in Flanders (Ghent, Aalst, Knokke, Roeselare, and Sint-Niklaas).

Is buying and selling gold anonymous?
