What is Bullion? Bullion refers to precious metals like gold and silver, valued primarily for their weight and purity. It’s typically bought as coins or bars and traded close to its intrinsic metal value. This is irrespective of the coin's condition, unlike proofs and uncirculated products, that may have a value above the intrinsic price.
