Brandon's Coins does guarantee that every item that we sell is genuine and that all precious metal items do contain the weight, fineness, and purity that we have advertised. However, all investments, of every type, involve some level of risk and precious metals are no exception. Like many markets, the precious metals market is speculative, and it is unregulated. The value of any bullion item is generally determined by current spot price of the underlying precious metal, and by the supply and demand for these particular items. These prices will fluctuate throughout the day while the precious metals market is open. If you are considering purchasing Precious Metals as an investment, you should assess the stability of the current market as well as contacting your financial advisor for advice.
