For the past couple of years, I have sat here and watched my stocks plummet as the market has quickly gone downhill. Technology, communications, consumer goods and other stocks that used to perform well are now at all time lows. While I took the time to mope over my losses, I did not realize that I was literally sitting on top of a gold mine.
Rather than family members giving me presents around the holiday season that they knew I would never use, they instead gave me gifts of gold and silver coins. I have to admit that there were times that I complained a little about the choice of gifts, but I have since stopped complaining.
Gold and silver coins are not only one of the hottest current investments, but they are also getting excellent returns. The gold coins that I complained about a few years ago are now being sold for well over a thousand dollars per coin! Getting in on this great investment is quite simple.
Gold Coins
There are three major types of gold coins that investors are going crazy for. The first and most popular is the American Gold Eagle coins. Each coin has a face value of fifty dollars and is one ounce of 22 karat gold. The other two popular gold coins are the American Gold Buffalo and the Canadian Maple Leaf. The American Gold Eagles and the American Gold Buffalo can be purchased directly from the United States Mint. At this time however, there is a shortage but production is set to soon begin again.
Silver Coins
While silver has not shown as great of a return as gold over the past few years, the prices are steadily increasing. When I first received silver coins as gifts in the late 1990’s, they were only five to six dollars per coin. The price per ounce of silver today has gone up to over fourteen dollars per ounce! Even my best investments over the years have not survived quite as well as my silver coins have.
Recent information predicts that the price of gold and silver is going to continue to rise over the next several years. If you are looking for a way to diversify your portfolio and invest in something that will give you the return that you’re looking for, gold and silver coins might just be the way to go. I am certainly glad that I held on to what I once considered boring holiday gifts.
