Tips for Buying and Storing Gold
After reviewing today’s gold price summary, readers may find it useful to understand more closely the tips for buying and storing gold.
Citing the official Logam Mulia and Galeri 24 websites, here are several tips for buying gold and storing it:
- Buy from a Trusted Place
The first tip to note when buying gold is to purchase from a trusted place. There are various official and reputable gold boutiques available for the public to choose from when making gold purchase transactions. This is done to minimise the risk of buying counterfeit gold sold by irresponsible parties.
- Check Its Authenticity
In addition to buying from a trusted place, there is another tip that needs to be applied. The tip in question is to check its authenticity. The method is very easy and can be done online.
If the gold purchased is Antam, the QR code on the packaging can be scanned through the CertiCard application. UBS gold also has similar technology, namely by scanning the QR code through the UBS Gold application.
- Ensure the Packaging Is in Good Condition
Before officially completing a gold purchase transaction, readers need to check the gold packaging first. If any damaged packaging is found, do not hesitate to inform the officer at the place where the gold is purchased. However, gold packaging available at trusted places is usually in good condition and rarely has damage.
- Store in a Safe Place
It is also important to store gold in a safe place. Gold storage is something that needs extra attention. The reason is that gold that is stored properly tends to maintain its quality.
At least two things can be done to store gold properly. First, do not store it in a damp or wet place, and second, do not pile it with other heavy objects.
- Do Not Damage the Gold Packaging
Another equally important tip for buying gold is not to damage the gold packaging. Why? Certain types of gold packaging are equipped with QR code technology.
As explained earlier, the QR code is needed to check the authenticity of the gold. If the gold packaging is damaged, there is a concern that the QR code cannot be read, so there is a possibility that the gold price will fall when it is resold.
That is today’s gold price update for Wednesday, 26 August 2026. Hopefully it is useful.
