Gold, Silver & Platinum Products

We Offer The Following Quality Numismatic and Bullion Products

For most investors, gold coins represent the most desirable form of gold ownership. This has been true throughout history. The portability and liquidity of gold coins continues to attract investors. Only if they appear to have been tampered with, do they require additional assaying cost when sold. Their value is based primarily on their gold content. The four most popular gold coins all contain exactly one Troy ounce of fine gold, although their total weight will vary based on gold fineness. Fineness represents the purity of gold. A 24 Karat coin is pure gold or .999+ fine. Less pure gold is perfectly acceptable in gold coins as long as the total weight and fineness of the gold content is indicated. Of the four most popular coins the Maple Leaf is the only pure gold or .9999 fine coin. However, all four contain exactly one Troy ounce of gold.

The most popular coin is the American Gold Eagle. The American Eagle weighs exactly 1.0909 Troy oz. with a diameter of 32.7 mm. The Canadian Maple Leaf weighs exactly 1 Troy oz. with a diameter of 30 mm. The South African Krugerrand weighs 1.0909 Troy oz with a diameter of 32.6 mm.

Double Eagles

(1877–1907) The $20 Liberty gold coin was designed by James B. Longacre. Beginning in 1877, the reverse of the double eagle was modified by an insignificant “cleaning up” of the design, but the major difference was the complete spelling of the denomination so that no one could have any doubt that this was a $20 gold piece. This type (Type 3) was produced at Philadelphia, Carson City, San Francisco, Denver (1906 and 1907 only), and even New Orleans (1879). This is the same design as the preceding issue except that the denomination is now spelled TWENTY DOLLARS.

(1907-1933) The $20 Saint-Gaudens gold coin, designed at the request of President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905 by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens and first released in 1907, is arguable the most impressive of all regular United States coinage designs. The Saint-Gaudens Twenty is not only one of the all-time favorites with numismatists, it is also one of the best known U. S. coins in foreign countries. Most major European and Far East banks make an active market in these coins.

Standards for both: weight, 33.436 grams; composition, 90% gold / 10% silver and copper; diameter, 34 mm. This equates to 0.9675 fine ounces of gold in each coin.

Old English Sovereigns (1887-1932) The old English Sovereign (one pound coin) is the most widely traded gold semi-numismatic gold coin in the world. There is constant and excellent liquidity in dozens of countries. For the person looking for a small gold coin (.2354 ounces fine gold content) and the potential for the premium (numismatic value) to rise, this is a good place to put your gold bullion money.
