Pre-1933 Gold Coins

December 8, 2009 – Pre-1933 gold coins are not a wise investment route for everyone, but a certain percentage of US investors could empower themselves and fortify their portfolios by adding some of the historic American rarities to their current holdings.

Since 2001, many US Mint-produced pre-1933 coinages have increased by over 528%. This is substantially more than the 454% increase seen in the gold bullion spot price during the same time, and many investors prefer to invest in historic coins because of their complete privacy, US government non-confiscatability, and historic tendency to outperform gold bullion over a long-term holding period

Investors who are looking for quick profits in the gold market should avoid certified coins, including the pre-1933 US coins, because they carry premiums that may not be overcome within the typical short-term (one year or less) holding period. Lower premiums can be had by purchasing gold bullion bars and coins, so investors who desire a short-term profit-taking vehicle hold for a year or less should stick with gold bullion. Investors who plan on holding their gold for years, or even decades, should give consideration to pre-1933 gold coins.

Investors who buy pre-1933 gold coins usually plan to hold their investment for longer than 14 months. They would like to see some long-term profit, but their immediate concern is wealth preservation and the privacy of their finances. These coins are a wise investment if you fear that our dollar could completely collapse, because any effort by our government to confiscate gold would not include Mint State, pre-1933 gold coins.
