Gold has been the ultimate store of value for 5,000 years.   Its portability, intrinsic value and its ability to be bought, sold or stored throughout the world make it the universal currency.
Knowledgeable investors consider  having 10% of their assets in gold as a prudent measure in today’s uncertain world.

     If you’ve decided to buy some gold or to add to your holdings,  you may be wondering wheather it is better to buy gold bullion or gold coins.  First of all, gold coins are also gold bullion but they have the added numismatic value due to their beauty, historical value and rarity.     Whereas bullion is valued only for the gold content and will increase only if gold increases, gold coins increase along with gold bullion but they can also increase in value due to collector demand.

     Which is the best way to buy gold?   It depends on your goal. If you are looking to buy a couple hundred ounces of gold and you want the most gold for the money, then 100 ounce bars are going to have the lowest cost per ounce.  But what are you going to do with a 100 ounce bar of gold?  If you really did need to use it for barter or simply wanted to sell a couple of ounces, you couldn’t.  Unless you are putting away hundreds of ounces of gold, then bars are not very practical.  Even if you are buying a couple hundred ounces, 1 ounce Kruggerands or 1 ounce Eagles will be the most practical form at the best price.  This is the best way to purchase a large quantity of gold at the lowest price per ounce, but even if you’re financially able to put away a hoarde of gold bullion, wouldn’t you also enjoy owning a type set of world gold coins?

     This is our favorite way to own gold.  A type set of world gold coins give you the security of gold ownership, an heirloom to leave your family and a beautiful collection that you can enjoy
owning and sharing with your friends.  Everyone is familiar with a Kruggerand, but how many people have seen a rare 20 franc Napoleon gold coin that is nearly 200 years old?  Or a coin with Queen Victoria or Czar Nicholas or a scarce gold coin from Serbia or Tunisia?  Very few people have seen these coins and everyone finds the coins and their history to be fascinating. After you get the coin you will probably want to know more about the coin, the history of of its origin and who may be on it.  This study in numismatics is what makes coin collecting so much more than just hoarding gold.

     Numismatic coins are not necessarily more expensive than bullion.  Investors have used 20 franc coins and sovereigns as bullion coins for decades and still do.   In Europe these are the coins of choice for bullion and they are recognized and traded throughout the world.  We price our coins not only to be the best numismatic deals on the internet but to also be competative with bullion coins.  Many of our coins sell for only modest premiums over their gold content.  If you are going to buy 100 ounces of gold, we can’t beat the 100 ounce bar price. Even 100 Kruggerands should cost you less.  But 1 Kruggerand or Gold Eagle will not save you that much money and if you buy 1/10 ounce or 1/4 ounce bullion coins we can meet or beat their prices for bullion! 

     See for yourself.  Get a price for the amount of bullion that you want to buy and then compare with our coin prices.  Check to see if they charge extra to use your credit card, add in their shipping costs and ask about their return policy.  Remember, we do not charge you extra for using your credit card, we ship all orders for only a $5.00 shipping charge and we guarantee your 100% satisfaction.  Return any order within five days for a full purchase price refund.
