Daily Gold Coin Update
August 4, 2009 – Gold coin pricing can fluctuate based on a variety of different factors, and today I would like to explain these factors to help you find the coins that are right for you in order to potentially maximize your profit and preservation potential down the road. Below I have briefly explained some of the most important factors that could fluctuate gold coin pricing on a day-to-day basis:
Spot Price = The spot price of gold fluctuates every trading day based on supply and demand, and since 2008, it has been fluctuating around $900 per ounce. Tracking the spot price is very important because it determines the base cost of the coins that you are looking to purchase. Two reputable websites for tracking the spot price are www.GoldPrice.net and www.Kitco.com.
Weight And Purity = The weight and purity of the coin that you are looking to purchase is very important because several coins come in different denominations, and obviously the lower denominations are less expensive. Fully research the coins that you are interested in to determine their weight and whether they are 22-karat or 24-karat gold.
Numismatic Value = Numismatic value only refers to certified rare coins such as the ones that have been authenticated by the Professional Coin Grading Service and the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. The rarer a coin is, the more expensive it will be.
Dealer Commission = Dealer commission can significantly affect gold coin pricing depending on the reputability and integrity of the company. Investors seeking the most competitive pricing may want to visit reputable nationwide gold dealers like the Certified Gold Exchange (www.CertifiedGoldExchange.com).
