Gold has attracted us to it’s shiny gleam, rich feel as well as its investment potential for centuries. The gold of the Mayan’s attracted the Spanish Conquistadors to conquer that civilization, the Pharaohs of Egypt we buried with elaborate gold trinkets and masks and treasure hunters today still scour the seas for lost ships carrying caches of gold resting at the bottom of the ocean.
Coin collectors and investors alike have become the modern pursuers of gold coins, gold bullion and other objects that contain this most sought after of precious metals. The gold coin market in the United States is especially hot now as the US economy starts to crumble due to incredible greed, mismanagement of mutual and hedge funds and let’s not forget the ineptness of Congress, the Treasury department and of couse the President of The United States, Barack Obama.
As our leaders continue to dig us into an ever deeper hole of debt we can never climb out of gold coin investing and collecting looks like a more promising place to put your money. Many people think of gold as more of a storehouse of wealth than an investment that will earn you great returns. As the US dollar slides and becomes worth less (not worthless, at least not yet) gold will only increase in value thus preserving your money. And at this point in out nation’s history, preserving your wealth may turn out to be very important.
