November 10, 2009 – Gold bar investments are becoming increasingly popular for American investors as our recession worsens, and various types of investments in the yellow metal have helped many investors keep their portfolios in the black despite rampant losses in stocks, bonds, and cash accounts.

The majority of US investors who have purchased gold have decided to buy private gold, such as “Mint State” versions of the Lady Liberty and Indian Head series. These coins, which are certified as Mint State by either the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) or the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), increase and decrease along with the Commodities Exchange (COMEX) gold spot price. Their numismatic value generally increases over time, so gains could be seen even if gold spot prices lie dormant.

These coins could be more profitable than gold bullion in the long run, but their private and non-confiscatable status by the US government is they key benefit of Mint State certified gold coins. Investors who want a long-term position in the gold market prefer these coins, but short-term investors are wise to purchase gold bar investments or modern-day gold bullion coins. The following manufacturers produce 0.999 pure gold bars in weights that range from one gram to 1000 ounces:

• Johnson-Matthey

• Engelhard

• PAMP-Suisse

• Credit-Suisse

If you want to make gold bar investments and take physical delivery of your gold, then it is advisable to purchase bullion bars that have been produced by one of these companies. These companies do not sell directly to the public, so it is also important to locate a reputable gold exchange that can facilitate your transaction.
