It is difficult to argue that precious metals investing is a legitimate economic trend, as countless individuals have benefited from consistent gold price increases, since 2001. Experienced investors know that the gold price for any given investment-quality bar or coin is based on the “spot” gold price, which represents the cost of one troy-ounce of pure gold. Bullion items like 24-karat, one-ounce, and ten-ounce bullion bars, and coins like 22-karat American Eagles, carry premiums that hover slightly above the spot price, while rare gold coins like Double Eagles, command much higher prices. Double Eagle rare gold coins are widely considered to be superb long-term investments, and one-ounce, $50 face value, American Eagle bullion coins are globally popular short-term diversifications.

$20 Lady Liberty, and $20 Saint Gaudens, 22-karat rare gold coins are also commonly referred to as Double Eagles, and their numismatic value far surpasses that of their substantial precious metal content, which is nearly a full troy-ounce of pure gold. Numismatic value is notorious for long-term appreciation throughout unstable economic interims, so trend savvy investors are protecting this inherent value through official “mint state” certification. Only the PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), and/or the NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) are recommended for official numismatic certification, with mint state grades that range between 61, and 66.

As always, investors are advised to thoroughly evaluate their finances, and individual financial needs and expectations. These investors can also avoid paying felonious retail prices for their American Eagle bullion, and Double Eagle rare coin by contacting one of our friendly specialists, who offer institutional discounts on bullion, and rare coin to household investors like you.

The price of gold bullion bars, coins, and rare coins, all originate with the current gold spot price, which represents the cost of one troy-ounce of pure gold. In a nutshell, bullion items like 22-karat American Eagle bullion coins, and 24-karat bullion bar brands like Engelhard, generally carry prices that hover a little bit above the current gold spot price, because bullion contains no “numismatic value”. This inherent value is what substantially separates the price of gold coins like Double Eagles, which are rare, 22-karat $20 Lady Liberty, and $20 Saint Gaudens, 22-karat gold coins, from their bullion counterparts. This inherent value is historically prone to exponentially appreciate throughout sluggish economic cycles, making them widely sought, long-term investments for financial safety.

The price of gold coins like certified Double Eagle coins increases as each coin’s “mint state grade”(which designates each coin’s numismatic value) increases. Typical investment-quality rare gold coins usually carry mint state grades that range between 61, and 66, out of a possible 70. Investors are sternly encouraged to avoid entrusting their costly, rare investments with any other rare coin numismatic assayer than either the PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), or the NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation). Rare coin assayers of lesser-known stature generally receive secondary consideration from gold traders when the time comes to liquidate. As always, prospective investors are encouraged to complete their research. They are then encouraged to contact one of our friendly specialists, who offer institutional discounts on American Eagle bullion, and Double Eagle rare coin to household investors like you.
