How to Buy Gold

Buy gold with confidence – here’s how!

At Blanchard and Company, Inc., we’re committed to making your gold-buying process as easy as possible, whether it’s your first purchase or your fiftieth!

Let us help you.

Before you buy, there are a few questions you’ll want to answer: What’s the market like today? How much gold would you like to lock-in? What kind of gold? A Blanchard and Company, Inc. Account Executive can talk you through these issues easily, giving you the most up-to-date information you need to make your gold purchase decision. Call us at 1-800-880-4653 to get started right away!

Order by phone.

It’s very similar to talking to your stock broker. When you call, a Blanchard and Company, Inc. Account Executive will look at the market numbers and instantly lock-in your transaction at current market values, giving you a confirmation number on the spot. Call us at 1-800-880-4653 Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm CST.

Order online – it’s easy.

If you’d rather, place your bullion order request online now via our safe, secure website. A Blanchard and Company, Inc. Account Executive will contact you to confirm and complete your bullion order.

Prices for gold change throughout the day on the World gold markets. Please call us at 1-800-880-4653 for an instant gold price quote or click to order gold online.

For the first-time gold buyer

Sometimes the gold-buying process can seem a little intimidating to prospective buyers. To help you get a handle on it, here are a few answers to common questions.

What kind of gold can I buy?

At Blanchard and Company, Inc., we sell Pre-1933 U.S. rare gold coins and gold bullion.

How can I get the best price?

Just as stock prices can change in an instant, bullion prices can fluctuate on a daily or even hourly basis. The bullion prices on our website are updated constantly Monday through Friday - from 8am to 5pm CST. These bullion prices are based on the market price of the metals. You never pay more than the going market price plus a small premium for minting and distribution.

How do I pay for my gold?

For all purchases online or by phone, you can choose a “Bill me” option. This allows you the flexibility of paying by personal check, cashier’s check, money order or bank wire transfer.

Checks and money orders should be sent to:

Blanchard and Company, Inc.
P.O. Box 61740
New Orleans, LA 70161-1740

Your Blanchard and Company, Inc. Account executive can help you with wire transfer information.

For online coin orders only (which doesn’t include bullion), you may pay by credit card.

Once I place my order, what happens?

Your order is shipped to you via registered, insured mail once your funds have been confirmed. You can usually expect your gold to arrive within two to three weeks. For your security, your gold is shipped to you in unmarked packaging so that it doesn’t encourage tampering or theft and will require a delivery signature.

What should I do with my gold when it arrives?

We recommend that you put your gold in a secure location, preferably under lock and key.
