July 2, 2009 – Gold coin investments are becoming an increasingly popular way for Americans to protect their hard-earned wealth throughout this financial crisis, and in the past eight years, many of them have increased in value more than 300% while other investing markets tumbled as a result of weaker dollar values and a crumbling economy. The majority of American investors who purchase gold coin investments diversify with modern-day bullion coins such as the American Eagles and South African Krugerrands, but did you know that these bullion products have been outperformed by investment-grade rare coins such as the $20 Saint Gaudens and $20 Lady Liberties? That’s right, investment-grade rare coins have increased in value at a higher rate than bullion coins because their numismatic (rarity) value tends to appreciate faster than bullion over time. For example, if an investor owned gold coin investments in bullion between 2001 and 2008, the coins could have increased in value by around 300%, yet if the investor owned certified rare coins between that same period of time, the coins could have increased in value between 300% and 400%. If you’re looking to learn more about these elite coin investments, feel free to browse the website or contact one of our friendly experts and begin a diversification today.

By around 4 PM Eastern Standard Time, it appears that modern-day bullion coins are losing some value despite solid increases yesterday while several rare coins are extending their gains today as the spot price of the metal falls to $929.20 per ounce, down $11.10 for the trading day.
