How to Buy Silver from the Certified Gold Exchange

The Certified Gold Exchange actively trades in silver, and many investors who start off with “America’s Trusted Source For Gold” eventually decide to invest in silver, too. The steps to investing in silver with the Certified Gold Exchange are as follows:

1.    Decide how much money you’d like to invest into the silver market, and know where the money is coming from and how much you’re currently earning (or losing). Your silver adviser needs to know these things in order to help you choose the right position and to see if the Certified Gold Exchange can meet your expectations and help you outperform your current investments. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense to invest in silver and since all of CGE’s silver advisers are non-commissioned they’ll need to obtain permission from a supervisor before selling silver to someone to whom it doesn’t make financial sense.

2.    Select the silver coins and/or bars you’d like to buy. The Certified Gold Exchange stocks a wide variety of silver investments, including:

●     Johnson-Matthey silver bullion bars

●     Sunshine Mint silver bullion bars

●     American Eagle & Canadian Maple Leaf silver bullion coins

●     American Eagle Proof silver coins (with U.S. Mint box and certificate of authenticity)

●     Pre-1935 silver coins (Morgan and Peace dollars) certified by PCGS or NGC

3.    Complete the recorded confirmation of your order while on the telephone with your CGE silver adviser, and sign and return CGE’s Shipping Insurance & Account Agreement (SIAA). The confirmation states the specific number and type of silver products that you requested to invest in, and the SIAA allows CGE to ship your silver to you fully insured and free-of-charge.

4.    Take delivery of your silver investments, which usually arrive the day after shipping. CGE ships orders within 3 business days after receipt of a bank wire and within 10 days after receipt of a personal or company check. Your silver will arrive at your door or P.O. box via USPS Express Mail, and your silver adviser will be sure to provide you with the specifics surrounding your order.

Investing in physical silver with the Certified Gold Exchange is a quick, easy and painless process. The best part is that you’ll be giving yourself a solid way to protect your spending power, come what may with inflation and government debt.

Gold Price Falls Sharply on Technical Factors, Competition

The gold spot price fell by as much as $23.40 on Tuesday morning due to a slew of technical factors that combined to force gold closer to the $1,200 per ounce level. As of 1pm EST gold’s spot price was $1,209.40, down $19.50 for the trading session.

Gold’s steep decline today has been attributed by Certified Gold Exchange analysts to a variety of factors, including bearish technical indicators that show gold could lose more ground before rebounding. The yellow metal is at a 5-week low right now because the U.S. Dollar Index has been rising steadily for over a month.

Interest rates have been a key driver of gold and silver prices historically, and current gold price movement indicates this is still the case. Although the Federal Reserve’s head, Janet Yellen, has indicated that interest rates will most likely rise in the first half of 2015, the current prime lending rate of 0.25% has served to boost stock indices. Many U.S. stock markets are at or near record-highs or multi-year highs, causing some investors to divert funds away from other assets.

The Fed, meanwhile, will host a Federal Open Market Committee meeting tomorrow afternoon. This meeting could provide clues or outright answers about when interest rates might start to climb.

How Does the Certified Gold Exchange Free Precious Metal IRA program work?

The Certified Gold Exchange Free Precious Metal IRA program is designed to make it easy and affordable for investors to convert their retirement accounts into physical gold and silver.

The first step to your free Precious Metal IRA is to call Certified Gold Exchange at 800-300-0715. Let us know that you are inquiring about the free precious metals IRA transfer program. This free Gold IRA program requires a minimum investment of $50,000, targeting those people with an existing IRA or a 401(k) plan balance. When you call us, please have your most recent account statement in front of you as our brokers will need some information about your existing account.

We will assist you in completing the necessary paperwork required to establish and execute the transfer of your existing IRA or 401(k). This will also ensure that the paperwork, including the account transfer form and your new account application, is completed correctly to avoid delays.

Our precious metals IRA programs utilize Equity Institutional Trust Company or SDIRA Trust as custodian. We have selected these two firms due to their size, strength and knowledge of precious metals IRAs. We encourage you to do your own due diligence with respect to the custodians.

Once the paperwork has been submitted to the trust company, your Gold IRA will be established and your assets transferred into the account. Fees will be automatically deducted from your account balance.

How to Sell Gold to the Certified Gold Exchange

If you buy gold as an investment, you eventually need to think about how and when to sell your gold. The simple fact of the matter is that selling is the second half of buying gold. There is really no profit or loss created until the physical item is sold. Of course, there are also a number of different reasons that may prompt a sale, such as the need to pay a bill, financial emergency, thinking the market has reached a top, or even finding another investment opportunity. Even if you don't have any immediate plans to sell your gold, knowing how to do so is wise.

Calling The CGE Buyback Desk:

After making the decision to sell some or all of your gold to the Certified Gold Exchange, the next step is to call the buyback desk. This is where you will need to let us know all the details about what you are looking to sell, so either have your gold in front of you, or make sure everything is written down. Consider everything including:

●       Name of the physical coin, item, or other product

●       Quantity of the item you wish to sell

●       Weight of the item

●       Anything else that might be a distinguishing or important factor

If you are considering selling certified coins, then we will also need to know the grade of the coin(s) along with the year and which company provided the grading services (either PCGS or NGC). If you purchased your gold directly from the Certified Gold Exchange, we can pull up your portfolio when you provide us with your given CGE account number.

Placing Your Sell Order:

Once we have all of the pertinent information, we will provide you with an immediate buyback quote. There will be some situations which may demand extra research, for example, in the case of an extremely rare or unusual coin, but this is the exception rather than the rule.

After the buyback price has been discussed and agreed upon, you and your broker will finalize the trade on a recorded confirmation line. This is for the protection of both parties. This process takes about 60 seconds, and after verbal confirmation of the details your price is also now locked in and guaranteed.

Compliance Department Email:

Once your price has been locked in, you’ll receive an email from our compliance department, usually within 15 minutes of completing the recorded confirmation. This email contains the details of your transaction, instructions on packaging the gold so it doesn't rattle or draw unwanted attention, and a request for you to reply with your bank account details if you elected to receive a bank wire.

Incidentally, you also want to pay close attention to the emailed directions regarding insurance. The maximum insurance allowed by the US Postal Service is $25,000, so our packaging instructions prevent you from placing more than this amount of gold in a single package.

Confirmation & Shipping:

We work on a checklist system, so please confirm that you've received and understand our shipping instructions email.

The next step is to take your package(s) to the local post office. Once your insured gold is in the hands of the United States Postal Service, please provide us with your tracking information so that we can be on the lookout for its arrival at one of our receiving depositories in Dallas, Texas or Salt Lake City, Utah.

Your Gold Received:

Bearing in mind that we do receive up to 500 packages per day, we ask for one business day after receiving your metals to confirm the contents. Everything we receive is opened and processed under full video surveillance by multiple staffers to ensure there is no confusion and that both parties are protected.

Payment Issued:

Once we have confirmed the contents of the package you sent to us, we will pay you for your precious metals. We can send you a bank wire from the Certified Gold Exchange's Capital One account directly into your bank account and you’ll have the money almost immediately. Alternatively, we can use USPS Express mail to send you a company check, which will arrive a day or two after we send it. In the case of a company check, some banks may require a few days to pass before all of the money is available to you.

The IRA Process:

If you are selling gold or silver which is physically held in an IRA account, the process is slightly different. The email you receive to confirm exactly what is being sold will also contain an invoice. You will need to print, sign, and then either fax or scan and email this form back to us. Please do this within one hour of the recorded confirmation to guard against changing prices.

From this point there are several possibilities. The metals may be shipped from the Delaware Depository Servicing Corporation directly to a Certified Gold Exchange depository. In other cases, the metals will stay at DDSC and simply shift into another investor's name. At this time, cash will then be transferred into your IRA account as payment for the gold and/or other metals being sold.

Bottom Line:

Selling gold to the Certified Gold Exchange is a very simple and straightforward process. You may not be planning to sell your gold soon, or at all, but knowing how the process works will give you peace of mind and remind you that you are dealing with “America’s Trusted Source For Gold.”

Most Popular Certified Gold Exchange Investments in 2014

Gold is prized for its beauty and the fact that it is one of the few true stores of value. It maintains its purchasing power in almost every situation imaginable; numerous studies and example have confirmed an ounce of gold has essentially the same purchasing power today as it did 100 or even 1,000 years ago. With this in mind, we present to you some of the most popular Certified Gold Exchange investments in 2014. Use it as a guide to fill out any holes in your own portfolio.

MS64 Saint Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle:

The Saint Gaudens “double eagle” is a twenty dollar US gold coin that was produced by the Philadelphia and Denver mints from 1907 to 1933. The name is actually taken from its designer, a man by the name of Augustus Saint Gaudens. Many investors and collectors consider this to be the most beautiful of all US gold coins.

The basic design of this one-ounce gold coin shows lady Liberty holding a torch and an olive branch on the front, striding to meet the onlookers from a rising sun. The reverse side shows a magnificent American Eagle in bold flight above a rising sun. The inscriptions, 'United States of America' and 'Twenty Dollars' are written across the top. MS64 versions of this coin are certified by both PCGS and NGC, and these coins have been at or near the top of “most popular” gold coin lists for years due to their status as investment-grade collector coins, which gives them much more upside potential than gold bullion.

MS63 Peace Silver Dollar:

Also available in PCGS or NGC slabs, this is a US silver coin with a face value of $1. It consists of a mix of 90% silver and 10% copper. The peace silver dollar has a very interesting history, being minted between 1921 and 1928 to represent the peace achieved following the first World War. The legislative impetus for this was the Pittman Act (1918), which required the US Mint to strike millions of silver dollars. This coin was designed by Anthony de Francisci, loosely based on the Morgan dollar front and a resting bald eagle clutching an olive branch on the reverse.

The coin was again produced rather briefly between the years 1934 and 1935. There was actually other legislation which led to the striking of some 300,000 coins in the year 1965, although they were never issued publicly and believed to have all been melted. Incidentally, this was also the last silver dollar coin struck for circulation in the United States. Value of this popular coin will be determined by the grade (condition) and the number of circulating coins for that particular year, although the upside potential is very strong throughout all mint marks and years.

American Eagle Proof Coins:

Although this is normally regarded as a collector coin, it has become increasingly popular with investors in recent years due to its status as the only investment-grade collector coin permitted for IRA purchase and storage. Produced by the US Mint since 1986, these coins are made in both gold and silver. They also are packaged (and protected by) a beautiful velvet box along with a certificate of authenticity.

American Eagle Proof gold and silver coins are only handled by gloved inspectors and each coin in the set is protected by a plastic capsule and then mounted in the satin-lined velvet box. These four-coin sets include one ounce, one-half ounce, one-quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce pieces. These coins sell and buy back for substantially more than the spot value of the metals from which they are composed, as they are released in limited numbers and believed by many to be investors’ answer to a future bullion confiscation.

Canadian Maple Leaf Coins:

The Canadian government also issues official gold and silver bullion coins. Purity is guaranteed by the Royal Canadian Mint and they have a relatively low premium over spot prices. The gold Maple Leaf has been produced since 1979 and is one of the purest gold coins found anywhere, with a 24-karat .9999 fineness. In other words, this is as close to pure gold (without any base metals) as can be. You will will find this coin offered in a number of denominations, including the 1/25^th ounce, 1/20^th ounce, 1/10^th ounce, 1/4^th ounce, ½ ounce and the full one ounce.

Silver Maple Leaf coins have been minted in Canada since 1988, with a current face value of $5 Canadian. Similar to its gold sibling, this is also a full troy ounce and has a .9999 fineness. You will also notice the phrase 'Fine Silver 1 oz Argent Pur' engraved along the bottom of the reverse side. Values of these coins are usually determined by their issue date, according to the number of coins actually circulating.

Credit Suisse Bullion Bars:

Credit Suisse is one of the most renowned banks and financial institutions in the world. This fact makes them one of the most popular international producers of gold and silver bullion bars. These bars have a very low premium above spot prices, and they are easily recognized and widely accepted around the world. Both gold and silver bullion bars exist in a wide variety of sizes, ranging from one gram all the way up to one kilogram.

Conclusion:

If you are looking to get started investing in gold or silver, the options listed above are great places to start your research.
