Many people have probably heard or know of someone who collects coins. Maybe they collect old U.S. coins or unique coins that have been mis-manufactured. While all these coins certainly have value and are fun to collect, gold coins represent the pinnacle of collecting as there are not only a wide variety of coins to collect, but they are also guaranteed to retain their value considering the fact that most of them are 99.99% solid gold. In addition, there’s often a tremendous amount of craftsmanship placed into these gold coins which makes them not only beautiful to behold, but also great to put into a display case and show off to your friends.
However, for those strictly in it for the money, gold coins have historically been a very safe investment. In the last twenty years (starting in 1990), gold prices have more than doubled from around $400 per ounce to close to $1000 per ounce as of this article’s writing. Moreover, gold is considered to be one of the safest investments you can make due to the fact that it often follows the general expected inflationary trend of the economy. With other investments, like stocks or bonds, you’re betting that the interest/dividends you receive will beat inflation. But the gold prices often track and exceed that of inflation. Couple that with the fact that coins made of gold are collectors’ items, and it’s not to hard to see why these coins will almost invariably just increase in value.
It’s imperative that any person diversify their portfolio as much as possible and gold coins represent an excellent way to do that. Having physical gold on hand is not only great to look at, but it also represents a level of security that certificates of gold or other gold investments can’t bring. The gold is in your hands and the coins themselves will become increasingly rare. You’ll belong to a sort of elite club of collectors and that will be something of which you can be proud!
