Brief Numismatists News

Occasionally, someone will come up with a new (and usually foolproof) method for coin restoration, whether dipping the coins in ketchup or vinegar or Coca-Cola. What these methods usually involve is dipping the coin in a very weak acid to restore the surface. Most of the time, they can ruin the toning (that's what acid does), causing a valuable coin to lose most of its value.

While obsolete gold coins are primarily collected for their numismatic value, gold bullion coins today derive their value from the metal (gold) content - and as such are viewed by some investors as a "hedge" against inflation or a store of value. South Africa introduced the Krugerrand in 1967 to cater to this market; this was the reason for its convenient and memorable gold content�exactly one troy ounce. It was the first modern, low premium (i.e. priced only slightly above the bullion value of the gold) bullion gold coin. Bullion coins are also produced in fractions of an ounce � typically half ounce, quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce. Bullion coins do not carry a meaningful face value, as their value is mainly dictated by their troy weight and the current market price of the precious metal. (If a face value is minted on the coin, it is done for legal or other reasons and it is nearly always significantly less than the actual value of the coin.) Gold has an international currency code of XAU under ISO 4217.

Make sure to store your coins in a very safe place. You've worked so hard to own your diversified collection of gold coins. The last thing you want to happen is lose your collection due to fire, theft, or some other unforeseen issue. Make sure to store your coins in a very safe place so you can sleep sound at night knowing your assets are protected. I highly recommend a safe deposit box at your local bank. Also, there are third party safe houses that specialize in storing gold and precious metals. Taking the diversification theme to the next level, why not spread your collection (once it gets big enough to warrant doing so) among multiple safe deposit boxes and locations. You'll sleep better and night knowing your collection is safe and sound through a diversified storage strategy!
