Gold Bullion Coins
Thursday, January 7th, 2010Precious metals investors not only can benefit from short-term profits gains they could potentially earn with ownership of gold bullion coins, they can also diversify their long-term rare coin holdings with much less costly bullion coins like modern, 22-karat American Eagles. These coins are one of the most widely purchased gold bullion coins in the world, as our U.S. government backs their weight, and precious metal content, which includes a full troy-ounce of pure gold. Gold bullion coins’ prices hover slightly above the current gold spot price (which represents the cost of one troy-ounce of pure gold), but certain, limited-minted bullion coins can appreciate over time as collectors items.
24-karat Chinese Pandas are one such bullion coin, and they are also minted as fractional denominations, like ½-ounce, ¼-ounce, and 1/10-ounces, for greater affordability. Naturally, 24-karat bullion is a bit more costly than 22-karat bullion, and many U.S. investors particularly prefer the haunting design of 24-karat American Buffalos, to the aforementioned, 22-karat American Eagle bullion coins.
As mentioned, bullion coins make ideal diversifications for rare gold coins like Double Eagles, which are $20 Lady Liberty, and $20 Saint Gaudens, 22-karat, rare gold coins. These items carry high premiums, but their numismatic value historically appreciates throughout long-term economic recessions. Investors can avoid paying outrageous 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.
