Recommendations on How to Build a Fantastic Gold & Silver Investment Portfolio

 

by: Michael M. Pennington

Knowing WHAT to buy . . . WHEN to buy . . . and HOW to buy precious metal coins is the secret to building a world-class portfolio. But incredibly, only a handful of people even the so-called “Experts” know the real inside story.

Let’s face it, today’s rare coin market is blazing hot . . .new investors are entering the market everyday looking to safeguard their assets AND earn above average rates of return. Today we are witnessing rare coin collectors and investors expecting 15% to 25% appreciation from their rare coin investments (and sometimes much, much more than that) annually.

The really BIG gains in rare coins (like 100% to 200% or more) come from owning the finest examples of certain types of gold and silver coins. The key to big appreciation is knowing which coins to buy . . . and how much to pay for them.

The biggest mistake I watch people make is buying coins with the “pig in a poke” theory. This theory often works well when markets, be they stocks, real estate or coins, are in major market upswings. But a far better strategy, I think, is buying coins which carry all three of the fundamentals that should be applied when evaluating a potential coin acquisition: Rarity . . . popularity . . . and historical significance.

If you apply common sense to your acquisitions and measure your coins against rarity, popularity and historical significance standards, then you will most likely enjoy the greatest appreciation in your collection . . . AND . . . most likely have ready buyers, whatever the market climate is, at the time you choose to sell.

The following are my “TOP PICKS” for 2007 and beyond, rarities that I believe more than meet the standards for rarity, popularity and historical significance . . . AND . . . also have above-average potential for significant price appreciation in the months and years ahead. I encourage you to browse through these recommendations, and then either contact me or go directly to the “Coins Section” and review current availability and pricing of the items for which you have the greatest interest.  RECOMMENDATIONS

1.    2007 PLATINUM EAGLE 4 COIN PROOF SET – Worldwide, platinum prices have steady increased to where they are now at historical highs. The 2006 Platinum 4 coin set appreciated 100% twelve months after it’s release. I am confident that the 2007 set will experience similar appreciation one year from now. The coins are rare, beautiful and historically significant. What more can you ask for?

2.    2006 SILVER EAGLE 20^TH ANNIVERSARY 3 COIN PROOF SET –There were only 250,000 of these sets minted so they definitely meet our rarity criteria. In addition, collectors flock toward anniversary type coins because they commemorate a special occasion. This meets our historically significant criteria. They also contain the beautiful Reverse Proof Silver Eagle, the first of its kind.

3.    $20 Liberty & St. Gaudens Gold Coins –$20

Liberty and Saint Gaudens $20 Double Eagle gold coins are avidly sought by smart gold investors looking for extra leverage to the market. With true scarcity and collector value, they can appreciate in a rising gold market much faster than common coins or bullion. And unlike modern bullion coins, they offer complete financial privacy and exemption from possible government confiscation.
