Gold Stocks v. Tangible, Investment-Grade Gold Coins
Gold stocks are not an investment in gold. They are stocks first and gold second.
This is an important distinction in gold coin investments for investors to recognize;
because, once it is understood, justifying gold stock ownership as a substitute for
gold coin investing alone becomes very difficult.
Owning gold stocks in the form of gold coin investments is not unlike owning other
types of stock. As a matter of fact, in the last three stock market crashes, i.e. 1929,
1935 and 1987, gold stocks also tumbled into the abyss, belying claims by
stockbrokers that they can serve as a hedge against disaster.
Gold is "Unlike" Any Other Commodity...
Gold trades on the commodities exchanges along with pork bellies and other
commodities, but here the similarity ends with all precious metals investing. Unlike
other commodities, which are produced strictly for consumption, gold is the only
commodity that is accumulated and saved - any gold coin expert will know that. It is
also the only commodity that is used as money to facilitate future consumption.
Most of the gold ever produced still exists today - many coin dealer specialists will
also have gold in the form of jewels, bullions and other forms. You cannot say the
same thing about pork bellies, soybeans or sugar. The gold you might someday
purchase from a rare coin dealer could very well have been part of the treasury of
Rome or used by Marco Polo in his first visit to China, or circulated as currency in the
Old West. This is why we especially appreciate gold commemorative coins -- they
depict certain times in history, and are our own historic little treasures.
Tangible, Investment-Grade Gold Coins...
There are many gold coin investments such as the gold commemorative coins,
that will by far out-perform any other gold product on the market today. Certified and
investment-grade gold and silver coins are not all created equal. We only deal with
the top two grading companies, i.e. NGC and PCGS. (WARNING: Don't get these
companies confused with other similar names, ensure that they are either the
Numismatic Guarantee Company or the Professional Coin Grading Service. We
warn you against these similarly named companies (they use similar names, for
example, instead of NGC they will call themselves NGI or NCI, and instead of PCGS,
they will call themselves PGCS in order to confuse you and to get your business.
Please know the quality is inferior in the industry. In other words, they will not be
worth half of the value of the NGC or PCGS, so it will appear as though you are
getting a deal when you are getting into inferior coins.) Again, these are the only two
companies that are recognized in the industry as "industry standard" and, thus, the
only companies that we do business with or will recommend.
This money (asset preservation) function of gold separates it from the commodity
complex and gives it a special place at the very top of the value scale. As such, gold,
whether in the form of gold bullion or investment-grade gold coins, otherwise known
as pre-1933 gold coins or other tangible gold coins is commonly referred to as the
"enduring" commodity.
Although I try to provide as much information as possible on this web site with
respect to investment-grade gold coins, I also try to keep it simple for you. If you
would like the specifics on anything, I welcome your call, and would be happy to
discuss any topic with you in depth. See The Value of the Dollar to learn more about
how tangible gold coins are money, not fiat money and not like any other
commodity.... or request a free copy of our ebook "Secrets to Economic Cycles" learn
more about how all gold is not created equal, along with the historical prices of gold
and how certain gold investments will out-perform all of the others "10 to 1" in the
next bull market.
Contact me via email, Yahoo messenger, or simply give me a call to request a free
gold coin quote, and I will be happy to sit down with you to discuss your current
investment needs in order to meet your future goals. Please know that there is never
any pressure, ever, in requesting information about gold coins. Upon your request, I
will provide my recommendations, and the rest is entirely up to you.
