Buying Gold Coins

By Paul Abbey

There are various reasons why a person would choose to start buying gold coins. One reason is they see them as a good investment whilst another person may choose to buy them because they see the way gold actually increases in value. Even today you will find that there is an extremely high demand for people who collect coins to buy those that are rare.

Certainly which ever reason a person chooses for buying gold coins they know that is one of the safest ways for them to invest any additional money they have. Simply because they no over time these coins are unlikely to lose any value rather they are actually going to be gaining it.

When it comes to buying any kind of coins the first thing you should be doing is looking for a reputable and honest coin dealer. If you can choose one who is a member of the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) or Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Unfortunately if you choose to use a dealer who is not a member of these associations then you are risking losing your money as they will often sell you coins which are in fact counterfeits.

After finding your dealer you will then need to decide just how much gold it is you want to buy. This is very important as the price of gold is constantly fluctuating and by knowing how much it is you have available to spend will help you to buy at the price at which it is currently set more easily.

As well as knowing how much money you have available to invest in your gold coins you need to learn about what gold coins are available and which are the best ones to invest in. Today gold coins are normally separated up into three different categories. Ones that are rated as standard gold bullion, those that are classed as rare and those which are collectible.

With standard gold bullion coins you will find that these are actually sold and brought for the value of the amount of gold within them. Whilst rare and collectible coins their prices actually fluctuate immensely and certain factors will need to be taken into account in order to place a value on them. Along with how much gold is contained in them, the age and how rare the coin is will determine what price these types of coins are brought and sold for.

Also when you are going to be buying gold coins it is important that you understand a little bit about the grading and evaluation process. This will then help you to better understand the rare coin market as well as help you to possibly spot a bargain when one arises.

You hear the same advice time and time again: Diversify your portfolio. Today I'm going to make the case for something new in the world of diversification, taking the concept to the next level. I propose that you should not only diversify you overall portfolio of assets, but look at your gold bullion coin portfolio as its own world. Within this world of gold bullion coins, I suggest diversifying like crazy! Make sure you have all the popular sizes (tenth ounce, quarter ounce, half ounce, one ounce) and also popular styles (American Eagle, American Buffalo, Canadian Maple Leaf, South African Krugerrand, with a few more thrown in too).

Several changes have been occurred on U.S. paper money in recent years. The changes have been implemented during the redesign of denominations of U.S. Federal Reserve notes (with the exception of the $1) beginning with the $100. Several features have been added to protect our money from counterfeiting include:
1. An enlarged portrait placed off-center to accommodate a watermark visible when the note is held up to a light.
2. A polymer security thread embedded vertically in the paper. The location of the thread varies depending on the denomination.
3. Fine line printing patterns behind the back illustration.
4. Microprinting on different areas of the notes.
5. Color-shifting ink that appears black when the front is viewed at an angle.
6. A low-vision feature on the back, lower right corner for easier identification of the denomination.
7. New Federal Reserve indicators including a universal seal and a letter and number below the serial number identifying the issuing Federal Reserve Bank.
8. A unique combination of eleven numbers and letters that appear twice on the front of all notes.
