Collecting
Insights and Perspectives

The numismatic market today is the strongest it has been in over 20 years. Most experts attribute this not just to high metal and gold prices, but also to the advances in Internet auction sites, where collectors can easily view images of coins before bidding.

Numismatic coins, especially the pre-1933 U.S. gold coins are highly sought after by astute collectors and investors for more than their pure gold content. The Saint-Gaudens, the Liberty series, and the Indian Head U.S. gold coins are admired and collected worldwide for their historical significance, beauty and rarity.

This 1912 coin from the Indian Head eagle series sold for $80,500 in January 2007 at the Signature Coin Auction in Orlando, Florida.

Although there has historically been a demand for rare coins that exceeds supply, causing substantial increases in value, there is no guarantee that this will be the case in the future. Demand for coins of a particular area, issue or type may be affected by regional or world trends and tastes.
