Rare Gold Coins
By Eric Morris
The desire for people to collect rare and valuable items is noticeable in today?s society. People go to many places, and sometimes travel great distances to obtain a particularly rare item to add to their collection. Rare gold coins are a particular interest for some collectors. From 1838 to 1933 the United States minted tens of millions of gold coins to put into circulation, both for use in the U.S. and for overseas trading.
However, very few of those coins still exist today. Most of these coins were either lost or melted down by the government. It is believed that less than five percent of the original gold coins produced during this time still exist today. Of the coins that are left today, very few of them are actually traded in the market. The majority of the coins have been hoarded by collectors for their personal portfolio.
Rare gold coins can come from any country, but the coins from the United States have been known to be the most popular among collectors all over the world. It is well known by collectors that the gold coins to come from the United States are higher quality, making them more aesthetically pleasing. Because of this, the gold coins from the United States are more likely to attract serious demand.
The main difference between buying gold coins and regular gold bullion coins is the amount you would purchase. Gold bullion coins are usually bought in bulk, mainly for investment purposes and not for collection. To purchase rare gold coins, people usually first consult a professional to recommend specific coins to you.
If you intend to start collecting rare gold coins, you must first do your research. Rare gold coins are graded by organizations such as the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). It is important that you only invest in coins graded by them. These two organizations are the leading grading services, and their standards are widely accepted around the world.

Much of the really interesting US paper money is now very expensive. The very striking notes of the 1800s and early 1900s are now out of the price range of most casual collectors. Some people collect travelers' checks, and stocks and bonds, which might not be considered as paper money. Souvenir Cards (printed by people like ABNC) are a good way to see the beauty of currency.

In November 2005, Rick Munarriz of Motley Fool.com posed the question of which represented a better investment: a share of Google or an ounce of gold. The specific comparison between these two very different investments seems to have captured the imagination of many in the investment commuity and is serving to crystalize the broader debate. At the time of writing, a share of Google's stock and an ounce of gold were both near $700. On January 4, 2008 23:58 New York Time, it was reported that an ounce of gold outpaced the share price of Google by 30.77%, with gold closing at $859.19 per ounce and a share of Google closing at $657 on U.S. market exchanges. On January 24th 2008, the gold price broke the $900 mark per ounce for the first time. The price of gold topped $1,000 an ounce for the first time ever on March 13, 2008 amid recession fears in the United States.

The hobby of collecting old paper money is still much less widespread than stamp and coin collecting, although interest is growing every year. Many stamp and coin collectors are now considering banknotes as the promising new collecting frontier. The hobby holds many of the same pleasures as stamp and coin collecting: One gets the same thrill at finding that elusive item to fill a gap in a series or a set. There is the same reverence one feels for owning something that has been preserved in perfect condition for a hundred years. There is the same satisfaction of travelling to a collector's fair to hunt down bargains and meet fellow enthusiasts and develop one's knowledge.
