It’s always beneficial to be abreast of the latest spot gold prices, since today’s volatile economic atmosphere seems to be capable of virtually anything. The last few years have been particularly destructive for traditional investors in stocks and bonds, and more and more of these investors are lending momentum to the current gold investment trend. This dramatic influx on gold investors into the precious metals market has resulted in repetitive record setting spot gold prices throughout the past four weeks. Experienced precious metals investors have been preparing for the current trend since 2001, with diversifications between rare coins, for long-term financial safety, and bullion bars and/or coins, as short-term profit-taking vehicles.
Bullion bars carry the premiums that are closest to the current spot gold prices, due to their uninspiring form and absence of numismatic value. Reputable brand names for bullion bar 24-karat purity include Johnson Matthey, Engelhard, Credit Suisse, and PAMP Suisse. Bullion coins like 22-karat American Eagles are only slightly costlier than bullion bars, and 24-karat bullion coins like Australian Kangaroos, and American Buffalos are a bit costlier still. All of the aforementioned bullion items can be used as hedges for rare Double Eagle coins, which are proven safe haven investments throughout long-term economic crises like today’s. Double Eagles are $20 Lady Liberty, and $20 Saint Gaudens, 22-karat rare gold coins, minted from 1850 to 1907, and from 1907 to 1933 respectively. Investors can receive institutional discounts on their American Eagle bullion and Double Eagle rare coin by contacting one of our friendly specialists, who offer these discounts to household investors like you.
