American Eagle Bullion Gold Coins - How to Buy and Invest

By Matthew Chang

American Eagle Bullion Gold Coins are an excellent way to begin and diversify any investment portfolio. Before you buy any kind of investment, however, it is important to know about what you are buying.

First, the bullion coins are 22 karat gold coins, made by the U.S. Mint, and is fully backed by the US Government. Originally introduced in 1986, the coins have become and excellent way to get into the gold market.

The reason that gold currently is a good choice for investing is the rapid increase in value, thus partly due to the decline in value of the US Dollar, and the overall scarcity of the metal.

All American Eagle gold coins, including the bullion, are made with gold that is from the United States only.

In general, all Gold Bullion coins can be quickly sold for cash at coin and precious metal dealers throughout the world. Technically, these coins are legal tender in the United States; the 1 oz. gold bullion coin, for example, has a face value of $50 yet, given the fact the coin is worth almost twenty times that amount based upon the market price of its gold composition, this is basically a symbolic gesture.

For the new investor, there may be some confusion about the difference between the Gold Proof coin, and the Gold Bullion coin.

* Gold Proof Coins: According to the U.S. Mint, are collector edition coins. They are minted through a special process that 'begins by manually feeding burnished coin blanks into presses fitted with special dies. Each coin is struck multiple times so the softly frosted, yet detailed images seem to float above a mirror-like field'. All Gold proof coins come packaged with a certificate of authenticity in a protective case and mounted in a satin-lined blue velvet case. They are originally available for sale directly from the Mint.

* Gold Bullion: These coins are not purchased for their rarity or age. They are purely meant as a way to acquire a position in gold as a precious metal. The gold market dictates the price they will sell for at the time of purchase. Unlike the proof coins, the American Eagle Gold Bullion coins must be acquired through an authorized dealer.

When investing in gold bullion coins, fitting the Gold Bullion Coins into a portfolio is typically done as a hedge against inflation. During the 1970's, a time of historic inflationary pressure, for example, an investor would have been much better off had he owned a portfolio consisting largely of gold. However, throughout the 1990's bull market, however, gold bullion was an under performer and would have resulted in sub-par returns on a compounded basis for the decade.

Currently with the US economy in recession, and inflationary pressures on the horizon, the timing for gold investing appears to be positive.

Finally, American Eagle Bullion Gold Coins can legally be purchased through an IRA account. It is advised to check with your financial advisor for details.

Gold & Silver Coin Bullion News

A bad investment are "spurious set" coins. This is another popular TV shopping show product, plus they're found in magazines and swap meets quite often. "Spurious sets," by my definition, are sets that are put together out of lower grade and/or common coins according to some kind of theme. The coins are usually placed in fancy plastic holders, with nice quality packaging, and then you pay $38.99 for a set of five coins that are worth $2.99 just because they were all minted during World War II, or the Vietnam War, or because they're from around the world and commemorate Marilyn Monroe or some sort of cartoon characters. Such coins are usually genuine, and will probably appreciate in value, but they probably won't be worth what you paid for them anytime during the next five generations! These are a favorite of dealers like Littleton.
