Get Rare Coin Prices Directly With Rare-Coin.org
Rare coin prices have beat the Dow Jones industrials substantially over the last 40 years. The CU 3000 index, a hypothetical basket of rare coins, is based upon a $1,000 investment in rare coins in 1970 and the same investment would be worth over $60,000 today. Certified rare gold coins typically outperform gold bullion during difficult economic times and hold their value better during price corrections of gold.
Rare coin prices vary according to the rarity and state of preservation, the grade, of the coin. For example, a PCGS certified 1880 Gold Stella $4 gold piece has a $36,000 asking price while a 1850 Liberty Head Double Eagle, grade 30, can be had for as little as $2,100. The Gold Stella is a very rare coin, minted on a trial basis and rarely in circulation, while the Liberty Head Double Eagles were a currency work horse, used in purchase after purchase as the fine details of the coin wore away.
Rare coin prices vary with the market, thus it is wise to deal with a reputable dealer in rare coins with connections to the nationwide rare coin market. Rare coin prices are most predictable and typically highest with certified rare coins because of the certification of authenticity, rarity, and state of preservation that is the certification process.
Whether the investor wishes to deal in the more common, easier to find rare coins such as Saint Gaudens Double Eagles or try to buy the extremely rare King of American Coins, 1804 Eagle, a reputable dealer in the rare coin market can find the coins an investor wants at fair prices.
