Vintage gold coins are a great investment. They are widely recognized and have a known purity and mintage, which makes them a cheap gold investment with regard to dealer premiums.
Dealer premiums on vintage gold coins are often lower than those of modern gold coins. Great examples of low-premium gold coins include Mexican Gold Pesos, Gold 20 Francs, Gold Sovereigns and Pre-1933 US Gold Coins.
Fractional gold offer an incremental store of wealth in a physical asset that is only available with precious metals. They are a safe haven, trusted, reliable and generally accept alternative store of value
Historically, fractional gold coins have been used for barter, trade and commerce. Fractional gold coins were in regular circulation in the United States up until the government confiscated and seized all gold from citizens in 1933. Some that defied the Presidential Order and hoarded gold coins were prosecuted as felons as a result. Cryptocurrencies already face risk of seizure by the government. Recent headlines and prosecutions show that government regulators are being very aggressive in trying to control alternate currencies.
Having a stack of fractional gold coins at home makes it easy have quick cash available when the sudden need arises.
You can feel the heft of the gold when you hold a half ounce coin in your hand. Fractional half ounce gold coins are generally between 26mm to 27mm in diameter. Some stackers chose to buy a 1/2 oz gold coin from each paycheck to have a savings at home. Following this strategy, buying two coins per month you could easily acquire 12 troy ounces of gold within a year. Buying the cheapest half ounce gold coin closest to spot price each month will help keep premiums to a minimum.
