Holders of substantial, long-term wealth know that rare gold coin prices are so high, because they pay for more than just the value of their precious metal content. Rare gold coins are completely private, liquid assets, that have been used to store large sums of wealth for centuries, and their inherent numismatic value has enormous potential for dramatic appreciation, particularly during long-term economic recessions like our present one.

Modern nomenclature for rare coin investing means officially certifying the numismatic value of rare gold coins like Double Eagles, with “mint state grades”. These grades are based on a 70-point “Sheldon Scale”, with higher grades correlating with higher rare gold coin prices. Investment-quality coins typically carry mint state grades that range between 61, and 66, and buyers should only trust either PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), or the NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), for their rare coin certification.

The aforementioned Double Eagle coins are $20 Lady Liberty, and $20 Saint Gaudens, 22-karat gold coins, and are widely considered to be the ideal long-term investment for their rare gold coin prices. They contain nearly a full troy-ounce of pure gold, but their numismatic value is why trend savvy investors choose these coins for long-term wealth protection. Investors are encouraged to research websites like www.pcgs.com, or www.ngccoin.com, to better understand the benefits of numismatic certification.

Those who have completed their research are also encouraged to contact one of our friendly specialists, who offer institutional discounts on Double Eagles, and many other gold coins to household investors like you.

It seems as if more frugal, long-term investors will benefit from gold’s recent spot price plunge, as the cost of one troy-ounce of pure gold sank to $1093.90, as of around 4:00pm, EST. Today marks the first time that the spot price has sunk below $1100 per troy-ounce since November 6th, but stealthy precious metals investors are confident that our dollar has once again been temporarily bailed out, and that its’ simply a matter of time before gold prices rebound. Historically, gold prices and dollar values share an inverse correlation, which means that one typically gains value when the other loses value. The recent $10 billion Dubai buyout may have meant a significant difference in many individual’s holiday consumer confidence, but the party has to end sometime.

Holiday economic denial has hit all of us in varying degrees during our lives, but January 1, 2010 could be a frightfully cold, and stern wake-up call for a grossly financially “hung-over” United States populous. Those who are taking a hands-on approach to their financial protection are purchasing Double Eagle coins, which are rare, $20 Lady Liberty, and $20 Saint Gaudens, 22-karat gold coins. These coins’ numismatic value has increased exponentially during past economic struggles, and today’s long-term investors are making Double Eagle coins are their first line of defense against a long-term inflationary cycle. Investors can avoid paying exploitive retail rare gold coin prices for their Double Eagle coins by contacting one of our friendly specialists, who offer institutional discounts on Double Eagles, as well as many other rare gold coins, to household investors like you.

November 12, 2009 – Rare gold coin prices have recently been updated on the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) price guide at www.PCGS.com, and these updated numbers reflect the gold spot price’s rise to $1102 two weeks ago. Since that time, the Commodities Exchange (COMEX) gold spot price has risen to a record-high $1124 reached just this morning, so www.PCGS.com will most likely update their rare gold coin prices again in the near future.

Rare gold coin prices fluctuate along with the gold spot price, but they also maintain a numismatic value for their historic value and rarity. Like most antiques, this worth tends to grow with time, but we all know that it is also possible for antiques to lose their market. Regardless of the numismatic appeal of rare gold coins like the $20 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle, these coins contain pure American gold that cannot be confiscated by our government like non-numismatic bullion bars and coins. Because of the privacy of PCGS-certified rare gold coins, they vastly outpaced the 5.8% gain seen in gold bullion prices in September. PCGS-certified rare gold coins averaged a 12.7% gain last month, and they have outperformed gold bullion two-to-one over the last decade. Accompanying the potential profits that can be had with certified rare gold coins, they also offer complete privacy. If you want to privately secure and grow your personal wealth with physical gold, now may be the right time to take your position in the gold market. Economists have called for the gold spot price to rise 12-18% next year, and the market for rare gold coins is showing strong potential upside as well.

Rare coin is a very specialized area of gold investment, which is why there may be some confusion over rare gold coin prices, among novice gold investors. The last few years has shown a dramatic shift in retirement and investment dollars, from stocks and bonds, into precious metals. A great many investors made the transition into precious metals, by initially purchasing gold bullion, or online investments, called ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds). Now that investors have gotten their feet wet with these types of purchases, they are beginning to explore the various avenues of gold diversification, and rare coin investment is a growing consideration among many. As I’ve stated, rare coin is a very specialized area of gold investment, and the following is a brief overview of rare gold coin prices.

The most common distinction among rare gold coin prices is whether or not a given rare gold coin is certified. Seasoned investors are usually willing to pay the slightly higher premium that certified coins command. Certified rare gold coins are widely believed to be the top of the line precious metal investment, as they are guaranteed for their authenticity, mint state grading, and precious metal content. Coins certified by either the PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), or the NGC (Numismatic Guarantee Corp.), are universally recognized, and readily bought, sold, and traded in over 120 countries worldwide. Each certified gold coin also comes sonically sealed in a plastic “slab”, with its’ own serial number, and assay of authenticity.
