How to Gift Gold and Silver?

A guide to giving precious metals as meaningful, lasting gifts.

Precious metals make extraordinary gifts — they are beautiful, tangible, and grow in value over time. Unlike most gifts, gold and silver will never become obsolete.

Popular Gift Options

  • 1/10 oz Gold Coins: Accessible and impressive. American Eagles and Maple Leafs are popular choices.
  • 1 oz Silver Coins: Beautiful, affordable, and educational for young recipients
  • Proof Sets: Presentation-quality coins in elegant cases with certificates
  • Gold Bars: PAMP Suisse Lady Fortuna bars in assay cards make stunning gifts

Gift-Worthy Occasions

  • Births and christenings
  • Graduations
  • Weddings and anniversaries
  • Milestone birthdays
  • Holiday gifts
  • Corporate appreciation

Tax Considerations

Gifts of precious metals are subject to the same gift tax rules as any other gift. The annual exclusion (per recipient) is $18,000 (2024). Gifts above this threshold count against your lifetime gift tax exemption.

The Lasting Impact

A stock certificate becomes worthless if the company fails. Cash loses value to inflation. But a gold coin given to a grandchild today will still hold value — and tell a story — decades from now.
