Gold Rounds
Looking for a cost-effective way to invest in pure gold without paying the premiums of legal tender coins? Gold rounds offer exactly that - high gold content, low premiums, and a range of stunning designs from top private mints. At Pacific Precious Metals, we offer an expertly curated selection of investment-grade and collectible gold rounds to suit every investor.
What Are Gold Rounds and Why Do They Matter?
Gold rounds are typically .999 or .9999 fine gold pieces produced by private mints. While they don’t carry legal tender status like government-issued gold coins, they still offer the same intrinsic gold value - making them a favorite for investors seeking affordable ways to buy gold.
No Face Value, All Gold Value
Gold rounds are not legal currency, which allows private mints to focus on creative, high-purity designs without the markups.
Lower Premiums, Higher Flexibility
Because gold rounds are not classified as official currency, they typically come with lower premiums, making them a smart choice for maximizing ounces per dollar.
Visual Appeal Meets Bullion Strength
Many designs pay homage to historical coins, like the California Gold Bear or feature clean, minimalist bullion styles like those from Valcambi Suisse.
What You'll Find in Our Gold Rounds Collection
- Generic 1 oz and Fractional Gold Rounds – Ideal for stacking at low premiums.
- Valcambi Gold Rounds – Swiss precision meets investment-grade gold.
- California Golden Bear Rounds – Collectible, historic-inspired designs with strong appeal.
