US Coins
Hard Money Options
When you acquire a rare coin, you have just purchased an investment that is more valuable as a collectible than for its bullion content. But today presents a great opportunity for gold buyers: the gold content vs numismatic value of American $20 Gold Coins is at one of the lowest ratios in history! Two designs, picture below were minted by the US government from 1849 until 1933, and over 90% of these have been melted down!
With gold selling around $1500 per ounce, some of these Double Eagles are available for only about $125 more than a Krugerrand, American Eagle, or other non-historic bullion coins. Some of course, command 6 figures.
Morgan Silver Dollars are considered to be our #1 collectible. Most of these have also been melted, with not even one left per citizen available! Mid-grade uncirculated examples can be had for about $20 over the price of their silver content, so they are very affordable, and we think everybody should own at least one.
Peace Dollars, minted between 1921 and 1935, are not as popular with collectors, but are exceedingly rare in grades above MS-65. Either the Morgan or Peace dollars make great investments for just their silver value, so it's hard to lose either way.
