Investment Grade Gold

Over the last decade, rare investment grade gold coins have shown investors returns of over 300 percent.

WHAT IS A RARE INVESTMENT GRADE GOLD COIN?

A rare investment grade coin is any coin that is no longer minted by the country and government that produced it. These include both U.S. and European coins such as the Saint Gaudens, Liberty Head, Indian Head, Swiss Franc, British Sovereign, and French 20 Franc. Rare investment gold coins are highly sought after by investors and collectors alike. With limited availability, these coins tend to have a much longer hold period than bullion coins.

Furthermore, Pre-1933 U.S. rare coins are exempt from government gold confiscation laws. Rare coins are also non-reportable investments that do not require owners to pay capital gains taxes. This is a significant advantage that makes rare coins attractive compared to many other investments.

INVESTMENT RETURNS

Rare gold coins, such as the $20 Liberty Head and $20 Saint Gaudens have significantly outperformed gold bullion over the past 10 years. Unlike gold bullion, rare gold coins are available in limited quantity. Since rare coins are no longer minted and circulated in the marketplace, high demand chasing limited supply makes them a valuable investment. Furthermore, because of their limited supply, the value of rare coins tends to outperform the spot price of gold, as is evidenced by the charts below.
