If anytime is a good time to buy gold, it’s probably now. There are many kinds of gold coins for sale to fit any kind of budget and investing and collecting style. You can buy new American Gold Eagles, the new St Gaudens Ultra High relief gold coin, Buffalo Gold coins and of course all of the older and more collectible coins with high numismatic value.
Today’s economic times are concerning everyone mainly because most, including our government leaders all the way up to President Obama, have no idea how all of this is going to turn out. The government seems to be on a fast track to spend as much money as possible in the shortest time they can do it in which will lead to nothing but economic disaster. Since the stock market is down from the high of over 14,000 a couple of years ago and the general trend is downward, people are looking for alternative investments and gold as well as other precious metals are gaining in interest.
The trend for gold in the last couple of years has been upward. In general, precious metals are usually up when the stock market is down and vice versa. But another trend that’s causing people to look at gold is the rising national debt and the inability of government to stop spending money. This has caused the lack of trust in traditional financial markets essentially making people look towards gold as an investment.
One of the more popular gold coins for investments today is the 2009 Ultra High Relief St Gaudens double eagle. This coin is the original double eagle as designed by Augustus St Gaudens back in 1907. The 1907 ultra high relief coin was only minted for a short time because a combination of the relief being too high and the edges being too thin caused the coin be unstackable and bankers didn’t like this so the coin was discontinued. The edge has been thickened a little taking care of the stacking problem and now the 2009 copy of this coin is hugely popular amongst collectors and investors.
There are many other kinds of gold coins for sale but this is one of the most sought after at the present time.
