About Coin Investments

Coin investing is driven by the same supply and demand equation of stocks, markets, currency and real estate, but the price of coins is in inverse relation to the stock market. This means that when the stock market plummets or the financial markets are performing poorly, the price of coins typically rise to record levels. Coins are subject to supply and demand so their value does not necessarily increase or decrease with the spot price of gold and silver, making them a separate highly liquid asset.

Rare coins, or collectibles, are the ‘most liquid’ of all types of coins simply because you can sell the coins on the market for cash. If you want immediate payment for your asset, you can take your coins to a coin dealer or antique auction house and sell your asset on the open market. Since the supply of coins is diminishing at a rapid rate, the price of rare coins will only increase as demand increases.

The different types of investment coins to consider include:

Key Date Coins – coins issued by the United States that have a high appreciation value
Bullion Coins – gold, silver and copper coins that are traded in the world markets
Foreign Coins – Krugerrand, a South African gold coin, is one of the world’s first gold bullion coins and continues to appreciate in value

Types of Gold Coins

The most popular styles of gold coins available on the market include:

American Eagle (22 karat gold) – only bullion coin backed by the United States Government
American Buffalo (24 karat gold)
Canadian Maple Leaf (24 karat gold)
South African Krugerrand (22 karat gold)
Vienna Philharmonic (24 karat gold)
Chinese Gold Panda (24 karat gold)
