Buy Gold Coins and Bullion
Experts argue that owning gold can help you protect your assets against the damaging effects of inflation. As a result, both gold coins and gold bullion remain a staple of many seeking to protect their money.
At the same time, owning gold doesn’t mean you have a nugget sitting in your safe. Instead, you can own gold in various forms, from gold coins to gold bullion. These precious commodities hold their own type of value, one that goes beyond a simple material cost.
Why Own Gold Coins and Gold Bullion
Individuals tend to rely on gold coins and gold bullion in times of economic crisis. Currency inflation drives gold prices up as this commodity represents a store of value in times other assets are quickly losing their value.
Many experts consider gold to be a global store of value. In times of political uncertainty, gold remains a strong option, even more so than other lucrative avenues. In fact, savvy individuals pad their portfolios with gold coins and gold bullion as a way to hedge against future losses. As a general rule, when stocks drop, gold prices often increase.
American Golden Coins
The U.S. Mint first produced gold currency from 1794 to 1933. With special privileges to mint gold currency and bullion gold coinage, the U.S. Mint circulated 22-karat gold coins until 1837. In the following year, the gold content dropped to 90% of the coin’s weight until production ceased in 1933 and gold ownership became illegal by federal decree.
Gold bullion coins reentered the market in 1986 when the U.S. Mint began gold coin production for investment and collection purposes only. The American Gold Eagle Coin, the American Gold Buffalo Coin, and the remaining pre-1933 gold coins represent the majority of gold coins for sale today.
American Gold Eagle Coin
Bearing two recognizable and proud figures of American patriotism, the American Gold Eagle Coin completes any coin collection as a rare currency. This gold coin features the American eagle family on the reverse side, with a triumphant Lady Liberty on the opposite side. Both are products of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the man responsible for designing many of the most collectible gold coins.
American Gold Buffalo Coin
Minted in 2006 in 24-karat gold, the American Gold Buffalo is the first gold coin of its kind from the U.S. Mint. The design, credited to James Earle Fraser, drew elements from the Buffalo Nickel of 1913. An American buffalo can be seen on one face, while the other face incorporates a Native American Indian.
Pre-1933 Gold Coins
Due to President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 6102, which outlawed gold ownership, pre-1933 gold coins are scarce. These valuable assets survived confiscation and have become the cornerstone of many impressive collections. Examples of pre-1933 gold coins include the $2.5 Indian Head Quarter Eagle, the $10 Golden Indian Head, and the $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle.
St Gaudens Double Eagle Pre-1933 Coins
First released in 1907, the St. Gaudens Double Eagle Pre-1933 coin featured artwork from the renowned artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The artist died before the coin was officially minted. The first year of minting didn’t include the infamous words “In God We Trust.” However, in 1908 Congress approved a design change and the phrase appeared on the circumference of the Double Eagle.
American Liberty Gold Coins
Newer in circulation, the American Liberty Gold Coins are struck from 24-karat gold. They were minted in 2018 and contain a tenth of an ounce of gold in total. Each American Liberty Gold Coin has its own Certificate of Authenticity, proving its worth.
Details of the American Liberty Gold Coins include Lady Liberty with a crown of stars and a flying bald eagle on the reverse. The phrases “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “In God We Trust” are also inscribed around the coin’s edge.
Gold Bars
When it comes to gold bars, there’s more to the value of this tangible asset than just the gold itself. In fact, there are various manufacturing, weight, and refinery types.
For example, gold bars can be cast or minted. The latter type of gold bars is more common in films as it presents a polished surface that’s kept clean by wrapping the bars in soft packaging. Cast gold bars, however, are often less refined.
Gold bars can also be sold as a single unit or as several parts. These sections are called CombiBars and contain anywhere from a single gram of gold up to 50 grams of gold.
