Vintage Gold Coins

Most of the world was on a gold standard up until the early 20th century. Throughout this era, gold coins were the backbone of commerce, banking, savings, trade and investment. Millions of gold coins were minted as currency prior to fiat.

Vintage gold coins are comparable to modern gold coins, but offer some additional benefits. These gold coins have survived for many decades since their original minting and are often available with significantly lower dealer premiums than newly minted coins.

Many of these coins survived the confiscation and melt that occurred in 1933. Today, these coins are a great investment option that typically has the lowest premiums over spot gold price than modern bullion coins. These coins have survived through decades of changes in the world and today represent a true store of wealth.

"The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit."
