Investing in Rare Coins

Bank notes and coins are an ideal diversification for your investment portfolio. As more rare coin collectors are gaining interest and the supply is lesser in comparison to demand, gold and silver bullion can be a great channel of investment for investors seeking long-term gains. However, if you are seeking short-term high returns then putting money in coins is not the way to go. Coins are rare items which cannot be reproduced therefore their value increases with an increase in demand. As a collector, besides the medals and silver eagles, you may also consider the gold eagles (be sure that they are authenticated and certified) as well as ancient, rare, and commemorative coins.

Silver Eagles

Commemorative coins come in two varieties – uncirculated and proof. Proof are high quality specially made to have a mirror finish that is first-rate and contrasts with the relief frosting (the raised part of a coin), and hence have a higher value. There are also commemorative error coins which have flaws that occurred during the process of minting and which fall under the rare coins category hence fetch prices that are much higher. Since numerous coins were minted in every era making collection of all impossible, a collector ought to concentrate on a specific subject, theme, or era.
