Secrets of the Coin Experts
Time has proven that collectors tend to make the most money in rare coins
because they search out "undervalued coins" and buy during
market lulls. Buying in today's market climate offers you superb upside
profit potential.
Put Rare Coins in Perspective
Rare coins have an extremely limited, fixed supply which has
historically increased in value when demand overwhelms availability. This
fact is documented in the enclosed "Dow-to-Gold Report." It clearly shows how rare
coins go up as well as down in price with varying market cycles. We believe the most
successful Rare Coin portfolios were built in down markets by systematically assembling a
variety of choice, rare, and desirable coins, with a three to five year, or
longer, holding period in mind.
Have a Precise Focus on the Coin Market
Thousands of coins have been issued over the past 200 years.
Very few collectors are experts on more than a few types of coins.
For that reason alone, it's important to build a relationship with a firm
that employs a team of knowledgeable Rare Coin Specialists and Numismatic
Experts that are recognized as pillars of authority throughout the industry. Together, we can
help you define your areas of interest, your investment goals, and our team of specialists can
then guide you to a specific area of U.S. Coins designed to be both profitable and extremely
enjoyable.
Four Factors for Success in Rare Coin Collecting
To build a profitable portfolio that's balanced and diversified, you
need to consider these factors before entering the U.S. Rare Coin Market:
1) Focus on Areas With Strong Collector Appeal
- We recommend U.S. Rare Coins that have a
broad base of both active investors and collectors. The more wealthy, sophisticated, and avid
the base of buyers in an area, the more successful your portfolio should be in the long run.
2) Insist on Quality - We recommend U.S. Rare Coins of the highest quality for the
date that you can afford. These are always the hardest to find, most desirable collector
coins and have historically been top market performers. In our opinion, these coins are
always in demand by serious collectors and investors. We feel they will be the easiest coins
to liquidate and turn the best profits.
3) Look for a Strong Performance History - Take the time to review
the price history of any rare coin you purchase. Rare coins that have a
good history of 200% to 300% price increases during recent bull markets,
usually offer you an excellent profit potential in the next hot
market. While past performance is no guarantee of future value,
undesirable coins are losers in any market. It is of utmost importance to
remember that each rare coin must stand on the value of its own individual
merit related to grade, price, eye appeal, and rarity.
4) Search Out Rarity - Finally, we recommend you acquire a selection of
Genuinely Rare United States coins. There are fundamentally two ways to
determine a coin's rarity. That is "Condition Rarity" and
"Absolute Rarity." Condition Rarity is a coin that
is rare in higher grades. Some coins are common in worn, circulated
grades, yet there could be only five coins known to exist in higher
mint-state grades of MS-63 to MS-65.
Absolute Rarity is a coin that is rare
in any grade. These are truly desirable gold coins that are hard to
locate and acquire in all grades. These few coins that are Absolutely Rare
in any grade are the "Blue Chip Recommendations" of the U.S.
Rare Coin Market.
We hope this overview and these guidelines will assist you building a
valuable collection of United States Rare Coins that will prove to be both
fun and profitable in the long run.
