Like most worthwhile ventures, effectively investing in gold coins requires a bit of research, but it rewards individuals with complete financial independence from bankers and brokers, as well as privacy from our ever-intrusive government. Prospective investors needn’t feel intimidated, or overwhelmed by investing in gold coins, but they are advised to always conduct their own research, and never to rely on well-meant investment advice from friends, or loved ones.

The first order of business in gold coin investment research is for each prospective buyer to evaluate his or her finances, and to determine their individual, financial needs and expectations. This evaluation will usually yield a realistic budget, as well as a general idea as to the type of gold coin investment that is required to customize those needs.

Generally speaking, short-term profit seekers gravitate to investing in gold coins like 22-karat, American Eagle bullion coins. These coins are globally used short-term potential profit vehicles, because they contain exactly one troy-ounce of pure gold, their prices are only slightly higher than the current gold spot price, and our U.S. government backs them for weight, and precious metal content.

Conversely, long-term financial security seekers pay much higher prices for certified rare gold coins, because their numismatic value is not only capable of protecting large sums of wealth, it also has potential for appreciation throughout economic recessions. (see www.ngccoin.com, or www.pcgs.com, to research the importance of numismatic certification)

Investors can avoid paying extortive retail prices for their American Eagle bullion, and certified rare gold coin by contacting one of our friendly specialists, who offer institutional discounts on these, and many other gold coins to household investors like you.

Growing numbers of individuals are convinced that their financial security belongs in their own hands, and are benefiting from the peace of mind that investment in gold coins provides. These individuals are purchasing bullion items like 22-karat American Eagles for short-term gains, and rare coins like Double Eagles, for long-term financial protection. Both types of coins are recommended for optimal investment effectiveness, so investors are advised to thoroughly evaluate their finances, and individual financial needs and expectations. This type of honest evaluation can aid investors in their research on the proper bullion, and rare coin diversification.

Double Eagles are rare, $20 Lady Liberty, and $20 Saint Gaudens, 22-karat gold coins, which are widely considered to be the premier long-term investments for financial safety. Investment-grade, certified Double Eagle coins usually carry official “mint state grades” that range between 61, and 66, out of a possible 70. Mint state grades designate a rare coin’s numismatic value, so it is wise to trust only either the PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), or the NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), for their official numismatic certification.

The aforementioned American Eagle modern bullion coins make superb diversifications for Double Eagle coinage, because they hold a full troy-ounce of pure gold, and their prices hover just above the current gold spot price. Investors can avoid paying backbreaking retail prices for their American Eagle bullion, and Double Eagle rare coin by contacting one of our friendly specialists, who offer institutional discounts on bullion and rare coin to household investors like you.

Investing in gold coins can be beneficial for making short-term profit gains, but household buyers can also diversify between bullion, and rare gold coins like Double Eagles, for maximum long-term financial protection. Double Eagle coins are rare, 22-karat, $20 Lady Liberty, and $20 Saint Gaudens gold coins, and their numismatic value far surpasses that of their impressive precious metal content (.9675 troy-ounces of pure gold). This inherent value is traditionally used to protect dollar-based wealth during tumultuous economic times, so Double Eagle coins generally command exceptionally high premiums. For this reason, today’s serious buyers are investing in gold coins whose numismatic value has been officially certified by either the PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), or the NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation).

These two rare coin-assaying companies are the only advisable ones for investors to use, as more obscure numismatic certification companies may receive secondary consideration from gold traders when the time comes to liquidate. Other popular long-term, rare coin investments include $10 Eagle coins, as well as $5 Half-Eagle, and $2.5 Quarter-Eagle, “Lady Liberty”, and “Indian Head”, 22-karat gold coins. Widely used, short-term bullion diversifications are recommended by experienced investors, which include 22-karat, American Eagles, and 24-karat American Buffalos. Unlike the aforementioned rare coins, these bullion coins’ prices generally hover just above the current gold spot price, which represents the cost of one troy-ounce of pure gold. Investors can avoid paying exploitive retail prices for their American Eagle/Buffalo bullion, and Gold Eagle rare coin by contacting one of our friendly specialists, who offer institutional discounts on these, and many other gold coins to household investors like you.

Multitudes of no longer novice gold buyers are considering the long-term and short-term benefits of investing in gold coins like 22-karat American Eagle bullion, and Double Eagle rare coin. A great many individuals initially got their feet wet with bullion bar purchases, as the investment trend has been to convert paper assets like stocks and bonds into physical precious metal. Now that these investors have researched various bullion bar diversifications, they have been investing in gold coins like the aforementioned one-ounce American Eagle, and $20 Lady Liberty, and $20 Saint Gaudens, 22-karat rare gold coins, which are also known as Double Eagle coins.

Double Eagle coins are globally considered to be supreme safe haven assets to hold throughout long-term periods of economic recalibration, because Liberty, and Saint Gaudens’ numismatic value historically appreciates dramatically during such times. For this reason, today’s serious investors are protecting that inherent value with official “mint state grades” from either the PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Company), or the NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation). Numismatic certification from any other company could mean future hassles when the time comes to liquidate rare coins; so savvy investors are using the PCGS, or the NGC to protect their long-term investments. It is generally recommended to diversify rare coin investments with short-term bullion holdings like the Aforementioned American Eagles, and investors can receive institutional discounts on their bullion, and Double Eagle coins by contacting one of our friendly specialists.

Investing in gold coins has been done since gold coins were minted thousands of years ago. Gold coin holdings have rescued families, businesses, and even entire nations from ruin, as they have withstood, and even flourished throughout literally every calamity known to man. Famine, two World Wars, and various historical economic down cycles have all coincided with thriving gold values, and today’s economic tribulations are showing the same familiar pattern. Our nation’s dollar is so vastly overprinted, and our financial markets are in such an obscene state of smash, that most experts are now projecting as long as a decade of painful financial and economic re adjustment. Trend-savvy investors are capitalizing on today’s economic indicators, and are investing in gold coins like rare Double Eagles, which are $20 Lady Liberty, and $20 Saint Gaudens, 22-karat gold coins.

During the long-term inflationary cycle of the 1970’s, our dollar lost over sixty-percent of its’ spending power, returns from stocks and bonds investments were virtually non-existent, and there were over one hundred interest rate hikes. Conversely, those who were investing in gold coins early during the 1970s, made nearly 1000%. Rare coins are so much more costly than bullion coins because they possess numismatic value. This inherent value has historically appreciated during periods of severe economic perils, and it is advisable to protect the numismatic value of rare coins through certification by either the PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), or the NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation). Investors are encouraged to complete their research, and then to contact one of our friendly specialists, who offer institutional discounts on bullion, and certified gold coin.

In recent years, we’ve been bombarded with ostentatious, if not obnoxious radio, T.V., and print ads on gold investing. These loud, flashy ads are merely an unfortunate byproduct of a genuine economic trend that many wise investors are converting to. The truth is that household, physical gold investing has boomed in recent years, but serious investors are investing in gold coins like rare, “Double Eagles”, which are $20 Lady Liberty’s, and $20 Saint Gaudens, certified gold coins. Rare coins are historically proven safe-haven investments for long-term financial safety, because their inherent, numismatic value generally tends to appreciate over time. Today’s economic uncertainty, combined with the implosion of Wall Street and banking investments, has investors converting their wealth into hard assets like gold coins, to weather the economic storm.

Investing in gold coins should invariably begin with each investor conducting a thorough evaluation of his or her own, specific, individual financial needs, in order to determine which specific type gold coin investment will best customize those needs. Investors traditionally purchase rare coins like the aforementioned Double Eagles for long-term safety, and diversify with more affordable bullion coins, for possible short-term liquidation, or as added long-term security in a gold-backed IRA. The most popular bullion coin in the world is the 22-Karat, American Eagle, which contains one full Troy ounce of gold, and is also offered in varying denominations of ½-ounce, ¼-ounce, and 1/10ounces. Investors are encouraged to complete their research, and then to contact one of our friendly specialists, who offer large-volume discounts on bullion and rare coin.

Experienced investors know that economic trends move in cycles, and those who are interpreting the current state of our global economy as the foreground of a long-term inflationary cycle, are investing in gold coins for long-term financial protection. Historically, investing in gold coins has been a superb means of protecting wealth during times of economic uncertainty, and speculative printed currency values. Gold backs the value of every “fiat”, or printed currency in existence, and long inflationary periods combined with overprinted fiat currency, historically mean rising gold prices, and dwindling dollar values. This economic phenomenon is known as an “inverse correlation”.

Savvy investors with a strong historical perspective, need only refer to the outrageous, inflationary cycle of the 1970’s, when our nation’s dollar lost over 60% of its’ spending power, returns from stocks and bonds “ate dust” behind inflationary increases, and interest rates were hiked over one-hundred times.

Conversely (or more accurately, inversely), investors who purchased gold made nearly 1000%. Many of today’s investors and financial experts feel that the inflationary period we are only now just encountering will be significantly more severe than the one from the 70’s, which is why they are investing in gold coins like rare, certified, $20 Lady Liberty’s and $20 Saint Gaudens. These two rare coins, also referred to as “Double Eagles”, and are among the most widely purchased investment grade gold coins in the world. They contain nearly one ounce of pure gold, but their numismatic value far surpasses their precious metal content, making them premier long-term safe haven investments. Investors are encouraged to complete their research, and then to contact one of our friendly specialists, who offer institutional discounts to household investors.

Investing in gold coins is widely believed to be one of the premier ways to protect wealth during uncertain and turbulent economic trends. Presently, economic friction is mounting, as our current administration remains narrowly focused on health care reform, while dollar values continue to struggle, conflict in the Middle East rages on, and our nation faces perhaps the worst inflationary cycle in more than thirty years. There are some idealistic articles that tell us that inflation isn’t, and therefore, won’t be that bad, yet there are substantially more people who think that we’re only looking at the tip of a gargantuan economic iceberg. Many of these people are household investors, who are taking a pro-active approach to their financial independence by investing in gold coins.

Historically, gold prices behave inversely to dollar values, which many financial experts believe to be in genuine trouble, since the Treasury Department has printed over forty percent more money in the past four years. Currently, the media is portraying our current inflationary period as a mild, temporary inconvenience. Experienced investors aren’t waiting around for so-called “economic recovery” to secure their hard-earned wealth. Instead, they are investing in gold coins like 22-Karat, American Eagle bullion coins, for potential short-term profits, as well as for long-term holdings in precious metals IRA’s.

Rare coins are an even more traditional means of long-term financial protection, and also more costly, as their numismatic value commands an exponentially higher premium. For this reason, more and more experienced investors are having that numismatic value validated with an official “mint state grade” from either the PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), or the NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation). Investors are encouraged to contact one of our friendly gold specialists, who offer institutional discounts on bullion coin, and rare coins, like Lady Liberty, or Saint Gaudens, 22-Karat, certified, investment grade coins.

Investing in gold coins has long been considered to be among the best ways to protect, and even augment wealth, especially during times when the value of printed, or “fiat” currency is in question. Today, dollar values are under great scrutiny, as we all prepare to brave the slings and arrows of so-called “economic reform”, which includes a long-term inflationary period that is already being compared to the one in the 1970’s. Baby boomers especially remember the 70’s, where dollar values depreciated by more than sixty percent, gasoline could only be bought on “even”, or “odd” days, and interest rates were increased over one hundred times.

Now that baby boomers are retiring, or revamping their portfolios and retirement accounts, they can capitalize on what they learned from the inflationary cycle of the 70’s, by investing in gold coins. Gold investments made nearly 1000% during the 70’s, and today, household investors are buying diversified investments in rare coin, for long-term financial safety, and bullion coin, for potential short-term gains. Typical household investments include a well-diversified balance of the following gold coins:

RARE COINS

Rare coins contain numismatic value, which generally tends to appreciate over time, making them favorites among household investors who seek long-term security. The most widely traded rare coins are:

$20 Lady Liberty’s and $20 Saint Gaudens, 22-Karat gold coins
$10 Lady Liberty’s and $10 Indian gold coins
$5 Liberty’s and $5 Indians

BULLION COINS

Bullion coins contain no numismatic value, and their prices usually remain close to the current gold spot price. For this reason, they are considered to be ideal short-term potential profit vehicles. Bullion coins include:

22-Karat American Eagles, and 22-Karat South African Krugerrands,
24-Karat American Buffalos, Canadian Maple Leafs, Australian Koalas,
Kangaroos, and Lunar coins, as well as Chinese Pandas.

Investors are encouraged to contact one of our friendly investment specialists, who can help investors to get started with a gold-backed IRA, as well as offer high-volume discounts on bullion and rare coin.
