They weigh 33.44 grams and contain .9675 ounces of pure gold. To get this price you have to make an order of two coins or more.

In 1986 this coin was valued at $1,125 and in MS64 $2500. The highest price of gold in 1986 was $438 per ounce. So, in 1986 the $20 Saint Gaudens had a value that was over 2 ½ times its gold value. Today these coins are considered undervalued, being priced at less than 1 ¼ times the value of gold.

In the 1950’s William H. Sheldon came up with a coin numerical grading service that started with 1 the lowest grade and 70 the highest. MS60 through MS70 grades are uncirculated and are considered investment grade. PCGS and NGC have never graded a $20 Saint Gaudens coin MS70.

Gold: An investment for uncertain times

Investing in gold can help diversify one’s investment portfolio and may protect an investor from some of the impact of a market collapse. Gold’s value and demand is increasing as available resources are becoming more limited.

Gold may be used as a hedge against inflation. Gold prices tend to move in the opposite direction of stocks and bonds. Gold prices should increase when inflation increases. Therefore, gold may be a sound investment as a protection against economic instability.

Gold withstands weakening currencies. Gold can be used as a hedge against fiat currencies — paper money declared by a government to be legal tender. When the US dollar weakens, the price of gold often increases. The more paper money that gets printed, the less valuable the currency becomes. But there is a limited amount of gold, and more cannot simply be “printed”.

Gold can be used anywhere! Gold is the global standard and has been widely used for different currencies throughout the world. It is considered an efficient indirect monetary exchange, and the demand for gold is increasing especially quickly in countries such as China and India.

Are you concerned about the reckless and rapid pace that our government is printing money, and the growing United States debt? This can cause the US dollar to weaken, thus creating hyper-inflation in the future. Many financial advisors recommend their clients invest 5% to 15% of their investment portfolio in rare coins, and precious metals as a hedge against the weakening of the United States Dollar, inflation, and world instability. We also offer up to 15% commission on jewelry sales when you refer your friends or family. Please call Paul Albarian today at (818) 827-7152 to set up an appointment and get free information.

Choosing a gold dealer: transparency

Honest dealers are an important factor when it comes to selling your gold or personal items. However, with so many different gold dealers making certain claims, it may seem hard to distinguish between those who are honest and those who are selling you an item significantly higher than the actual value. Prior to seeking out a gold dealer, these tips may help you make a more informed decision:

Is your gold dealer in any of the following professional associations? There are a number of professional associations that provide membership to gold dealers. Each association varies in what they offer and represent. At Paul Albarian & Associates, we are a proud member and an authorized dealer of the following associations.

Does your dealer openly list their prices? It’s important that gold dealers inform you about how much the items are likely to cost. Whether it’s on their website or in a book they provide you, this can help you determine the likely value of your gold and reassure you that the gold dealer is providing you with an honest appraisal. Here at Paul Albarian & Associates, we list online the prices of our bullion coins, and our rare gold and silver coins that are certified by PCGS and NGC!

Are you, or someone you know, interested in diversifying their investment portfolio? Many financial advisors recommend their clients invest 5% to 15% of their investment portfolio in rare coins, and precious metals as a hedge against the weakening of the United States Dollar, inflation, and world instability. We also offer up to 15% commission on jewelry sales when you refer your friends or family. Please call Paul Albarian today at (818) 827-7152 to set up an appointment and get free information.

Rare vs “Going up in value because of rarity”

The decision to invest in rare coins depends on what exactly you’re looking for when making the purchase. Certain coins are beneficial to add to your savings as a way to hold value whereas other coins are simply rare and exist for the sake of collecting. As rare coins are becoming more scarce, the demand and value for them increases. There are correct and incorrect methods for buying rare coins and precious metals. Your best start is to meet with a qualified dealer like Paul Albarian for a free consultation. He will understand your goals and can tailor a purchase to your specific needs.

Rare coins don’t necessarily increase in value. While some rare coins increase in demand, not all rare coins appreciate in value over time. Some are simply beneficial to those who are looking to collect coins for their artistic value and are not interested in capitalization. Paul Albarian would be happy to provide you with free advice on investing or just collecting as a hobby.

For a collector’s item, choose a coin with the best price. Certain coins are exceptionally rare and make great additions to a collector’s display. When searching for these types of rare coins, try to find the best deal possible because your intention is to not profit from the coin but rather to have it as a keepsake. Many coin grading services help to establish the value of specific and authentic rare coins.

Is your rare coin expected to appreciate in value? Most rare coins appreciate in value over time and can be worth more in the future than the amount you initially paid for it. These coins can be an excellent way to make a small investment. To find the true value of your coin, it’s important to do research and find out whether the rare coin you are looking to purchase will actually have some increased value over the years.

Are you, or someone you know, interested in diversifying their investment portfolio? Many financial advisors recommend their clients invest 5% to 15% of their investment portfolio in rare coins, and precious metals as a hedge against the weakening of the United States Dollar, inflation, and world instability. We also offer up to 15% commission on jewelry sales when you refer your friends or family. Please call Paul Albarian today at (818) 827-7152 to set up an appointment and get free information.

Uses of gold

Long considered one of the most desirable metals, gold has often been associated with wealth and status. With its special properties, this precious metal is used in various ways, from jewelry to electronic devices. Being one of the easiest metals to work with, gold can be altered into different shapes and sizes.

Gold has long been used in jewelry and currency. Gold is a very popular metal when it comes to jewelry due to its ornate, shiny appearance as well as its different colors and karats. Gold is great for jewelry as it can’t be tarnished and is often combined with other metals to increase its durability. It’s also highly malleable which allows it to be transformed into different sizes and shapes. As far as currency, gold bullion are no longer commonly used for financial transactions; however they can be great items to add to your investment portfolio.

Gold is an excellent conductor of electricity. Gold is highly reliable when it comes to electrical devices due to its high conductivity and its ability to avoid corrosion. Often used in computers, gold helps to rapidly transmit digital information from one device to another. In aerospace, gold-coated polyester films are used in space vehicles to reflect infrared radiation and keep the temperature stable in the spacecraft. Gold also acts as an effective lubricant between the mechanical parts in the spacecraft. Astronauts also utilize gold in their visors, which are coated with a thin layer of gold to help protect them from the sun’s harmful rays.

Gold is symbolic of great achievements and high esteem. Gold is often used in medals and awards to recognize those who have made a great achievement. Often seen in the Olympics as well as in award shows, gold is the most sought after metal that people want.

Investing in gold: Capitalization vs. Insurance

There are two primary reasons for investing in gold: Investing for capital appreciation (to earn money), or as insurance against economic and world uncertainty. It’s important to understand the difference between both types of investing, so you can tailor your investment goals accordingly.

Investing in gold because you anticipate its price will rise. When purchasing gold for capital appreciation, you are buying with the expectation that the price of gold will increase in the future. Whether the price goes up or down depends on the market and the current value of your investment will fluctuate. The goal is that, in the future, you might be able to sell the gold for more than you paid for it.

Investing in gold as insurance against economic uncertainty. The value of currencies fluctuate due to inflation, weakening of the U.S. Dollar, and world instability. Investing in gold as insurance can protect you against some of the effects of economic and world uncertainty. Gold prices often increase as the dollar weakens, and therefore many see it as a sound investment to protect against difficult economic times.

Look into investing in authentic gold bullion. When deciding to invest in rare coins and gold bullion, make sure the item is authentic, and investment worthy. Many different advertisements attempt to sell you amazing quality gold coins at great prices, but most of the time these items are only gold-plated coins. Non-investment worthy rare coins and bullion almost never have a chance to appreciate in value over what you paid for them. Some coins are investment-worthy, but are sold for too much money over the market price. So, even if the price of gold goes up, your investment is supposed to appreciate in value, which it actually does not. At Paul Albarian & Associates, we make sure the gold bullion coins we provide you are 100% authentic, investment worthy, and at the right price.
