Gold coins are available at very close to their underlying intrinsic gold value, they are a very convenient and sensible way to invest in gold. In our opinion, gold coins are the best way to invest in physical gold. Because gold is a valuable metal, and because of its other desirable properties, gold is an obvious choice of metal to use when producing commemorative coins. In the past, special sets of coins were issued to mark coronations and other important state events, and these often included sets of gold coins. Much of the gold reserves held by many central banks used to be held in the form of gold coins. Because gold coins are generally no longer used for circulation, this appears to have declined in recent years. Most of the pages on our site list gold coins for sale.

Gold coins are very nearly universally recognised, they are also easy to resell. By “premium”, we denote the percentage over and above the current gold value at which an item trades. In the past (the 1960′s), we have seen the premium on gold sovereigns as high as 40%. The exact prices and premiums depend on the market factors at the time, and can change from day to day or hour to hour. It is more likely for us to pay a premium for “older” gold coins such as sovereigns than “modern” coins such as krugerrands. For large purchases, typically  100 or more krugerrands or  1,000 sovereigns, the premiums can be very close to those on gold bars. Small changes in percentages can make sovereigns, krugerrands or bars more or less desirable. These changes are the result of changes in supply and demand.

Gold coins are an overlooked but extremely promising sector of today’s gold market. We recommend them as a superior alternative to modern bullion coins for bulk gold investors. Minted mostly pre-1935, these classic gold coins from many nations offer all of the benefits of modern gold bullion coins plus additional benefits like extremely limited supply, constant collector demand, and complete financial privacy. Also, because of their fundamental scarcity, classic gold coins have the potential to gain faster than bullion during a rising gold market. But best of all, they’re relatively cheap today, trading at modest premiums to their intrinsci gold value, in most cases.

Gold coins are a type of asset that can be given and held in trust for a lifetime. The coins that you purchase for your children, even if they are in your possession at the time of death, are still the property of your children and not subject to inclusion in your estate.
