Coin Collecting – Why Keep Coins Away From The Cleaning Products ?

When I’m asked if you can buy rare American coins, world gold coins, silver eagles, or bullion coins with a credit card, the simple answer is “yes”. But there are only certain dealers or venues that will accept your card. So, it is possible to buy coins with a charge card, if you shop at the places which accept them.

While silver has steadily increased in its commercial use in electronics and the demand for electronics will continue to increase, there is a surprising increase in coinage. With the demand increasing heavily in silver coins and metals there is bound to be price spike like we have never seen before. Why is that? Well instead of just a few private investors purchasing silver as a store of wealth and a company purchasing it for their products there has been a vast influx in private purchase by average citizens. Silver is now an internationally purchasable commodity that can be bought through world-wide coin dealers, on the internet and even at your local coin dealer Summerfield.

Once you are comfortable you can then take the next step into precious metal coinage such as the American Silver Eagle and Gold American Eagle. The cost of these coins actually fluctuates with the cost of the precious metals as they are minted 99.99% pure by the U.S. Mint.

As for coins, the problem is that they are bought on very large premiums to the spot price, they are sold at substantial discounts to the spot price, and they leave you with all the domestic storage problems which wealthy people try to avoid. I keep six gold coins, three Sovereigns and three Liberties (I like the feel of the Liberty “Buffalo” best). I expect they’ll eventually be lost or stolen or I’ll have to leave them to someone when I die. But there’s a tiny chance they’ll be useful before then!

Coins have several different values that we should define before we start. The first value is what is referred to as the face value and what is stamped directly on the front of the coinage. An example would be quarters (25 cents), dime (10 cents), and a penny (1 cent).

Absolutely not. If you could, then anyone who used a clever keyboard logger to find out your password could move your savings away from you. On BullionVault you have a permanently linked bank account which can only be changed by duplicated requests from yourself and your new bankers. It cannot be changed on-line. This is what I mean about BullionVault storing value. When you want to pay people use a payments system. DGC’s are pretty good, so are checks, and cash, and credit cards, and PayPal. We don’t compete in the payments system space.

Coin shops are plentiful in most states. Generally your local area or city will have coin shops which you can visit to see if they have the coins available that you want to add to your collection. Most of these coin shops are located in the larger town or cities. Better yet, use your local phone book and start walking those fingers through the pages to find out where the nearest coin shop(s) is located…

Coin collecting is a wonderful, inexpensive family activity that you and your child can enjoy together for years. The math learned along the way is just a wonderful side benefit.

Note: Apex Gold Silver Coin does not buy pennies or nickels (including wheat cents, Indian Head and large cents, Buffalo nickels and war nickels) unless they are a rare date and already graded. Here’s why.
