eBay sells millions in gold

eBay teamed up with APMEX, an online metals dealer, to sell gold and other precious metals online.

This is an easy way to invest in some real gold coins. APMEX is a trusted source, and is pretty open about the fact that they add about 3% to 5% markup on each transaction. Besides an eBay account, you also need a PayPal account to pay for the gold. After you order online, your gold bullion will arrive at your home in an unmarked box. All items are insured and guaranteed by eBay and APMEX both, so if for whatever reason you don’t receive your order, eBay will refund.

Since its introduction in 1986, the Gold American Eagle has been America’s preferred bullion coin, with a classic, beloved design. Fractional Gold Eagles provide an aspect of collectibility on top of Gold investment appeal.

Gold American Eagle Coin Highlights:

• Contains 1/10 oz actual Gold weight.
• Multiples of 50 are packaged in mint tubes. All other coins will be in protective plastic flips.
• Eligible for Precious Metals IRAs.
• Obverse: Adapted from Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ famed Gold Double Eagle design, which features Lady Liberty in front of the Capitol holding in her right hand a fiery torch and an olive branch in her left. Her hair is flowing behind her in the wind signifying forward movement against a background of sun rays.
• Reverse: Designed by Miley Busiek, the reverse shows a male bald eagle in flight carrying an olive branch to his nest, where a female awaits with her young.
• Guaranteed by the U.S. Mint.

With the same benefits as their full ounce counterparts, but at a lower price point, fractional Gold Eagles provide more options for those looking to purchase Gold coins.
