Gold & Silver Coin Bullion Info

One of the reasons there is such a disparity between what the average consumer expects, and what the coin dealer actually delivers when it comes to buying coins from the public is that coin dealers see vast amounts of common "junk." By "junk" I mean common date wheat pennies, circulated Buffalo Nickels and Mercury Dimes, worn Washington Quarters and circulated Franklin and Kennedy Halves. Coin dealers are offered so much of this type of material that many of them get tired of seeing it. They give such material the cursory once-over and offer low-ball prices for it based on long experience. Usually people have already pulled out the more valuable coins, leaving the "junk," (or at least the the dealer must assume so.)
Buy gold coins.

In 1775 American colonists issued paper currency for the Continental Congress to finance the Revolutionary War. The notes were backed by the "anticipation" of tax revenues. Without solid backing and easily counterfeited, the notes quickly became devalued, giving rise to the phrase "not worth a Continental."

Old gold coins should never be cleaned. But it's not just excited treasure hunters that make this mistake. Even archaeologists working with ancient coins come under fire for the practice of restoring ancient coins, although in their case it may be necessary in order to see the coin well enough to properly date and categorize it. Those coins will not end up in most collections. But then again, archaeologists are not trying to preserve numismatic value.

Gold is a tremendous holiday gift and I encourage you to give gold and silver coins to your loved ones this holiday season. There are two high level reasons I like this idea so much. First, gold is an appreciating asset and store of value. By giving a gold coin, you are giving a loved one an investment that has intrinsic value. Second, in this day and age, gold is not a familiar concept to many people. By giving a gold coin, you are opening up a new investment idea to your loved ones. Perhaps they have not considered investing in gold before. Upon holding their first gold coin, they will most likely be extremely interested in learning more. Your gift could provide the perfect starting point to start mentoring and teaching your loved ones all about your passion for gold.

Snippets Of Numismatists News

Sometimes banknotes soar in value due to some historic or newsworthy event. For example, various European banknotes greatly increased in value where they were replaced with the new Euro currency. Hong Kong notes doubled or even tripled in value around the time of the Chinese take-over. Many alert collectors and investors anticipate these rises in value and realise big profits be buying up the notes before they rise in value. Remember the recent volcano in Monserrat? One month, Monserrat notes were just as desirable as any other East Caribbean State banknote. As soon as the volcano rendered the island uninhabitable, shrewd dealers and collectors world-wide bought every Monserrat note they could obtain, knowing that it was unlikely that any more would be printed.

Gold bullion coins usually come in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 and 1/20 oz. sizes. Most countries have one design that remains constant each year; others have variations each year, and in most cases each coin is dated. A 1/10th oz bullion coin is about the same size as a U.S. dime. A 1 oz. gold bullion coin is about the size of a U.S. half dollar.
