U.S. Rare Gold Coins
The rare coin market is dominated by U.S. gold coins minted for money in America from 1809 to 1933. By volume, rare gold coins are the largest single segment of the rare coin market – and by far the most important. As a part of the rare gold market heats up, the whole rare coin market gets warm. A rising rare gold market brings capital into the entire rare coin marketplace and creates profits for investors and collectors alike. Allowing a piece of tangible assets to rest comfortably into your portfolio, giving you a peace of mind.
The Story of United States Gold Coins
Until 1933, the United States produced gold coins for use as our form of money, both within the United States and with our overseas trading partners. Mintages ranged from a few hundred of some coins to millions for others.
U.S. gold coins were issued for circulation in six denominations: $1.00, $2.50 (Quarter Eagle), $3.00, $5.00 (Half Eagle), $10.00 (Eagle), and $20.00 (Double Eagle). The total mintage of U.S. gold coins exceeded tens of millions from eight separate mints. However, not many of these coins remain today. Many have been lost, melted or mishandled. It is estimated that upwards of 95% of the original mintages are forever lost to mishandling, collector hoarding, or melting.
Rare U.S. Gold Coins: What Happened to Them All?
Two times in our nation’s history, gold coins were melted by the government. These two government meltdowns transformed U.S. gold coinage from common monetary units into excellent long-term numismatic investments.
The first melting occurred in 1834 when the gold content of U.S. coins was reduced, and nearly all gold coins minted from the period 1795 to 1834 were melted because their intrinsic value exceeded their face value.
The second melting occurred in 1933, when 90% to 95% of all U.S. gold coins held by individuals, banks, and the Treasury were recalled, thrown into huge melting pots, and poured into 100-ounce and 400-ounce gold bars, which is now the official language. How convenient much the gold coins found their way to France and other European nations? These coins are now being recovered back to America through the big gold houses who sell them through T.V. as rare collectable pieces.
Dwindling Supply: Increasing Demand
U.S. gold coins are America’s most popular collector coins, being used as collateral and stored as a place of stable value. Because of the important coins that have become available through famous collections and from European bank vaults, few other areas in all of U.S. numismatics have been studied more than U.S. gold.
Due to the popularity of U.S. gold coins, the rarest coins within this area generally tend to appreciate the most over the long term. Serious collectors and professional coin dealers want items that few or perhaps even no other collectors could own. The best performing coins are those which are not easily obtainable because they require relatively small increases in demand to drive prices higher.
~What Determines the Value of a Rare Coin?~
As with any investment or collectible, the value of a rare coin is established in a free marketplace by investor and collector activity supply (inventory) and demand. The size and intensity of that activity is influenced by three major criteria: an issue’s rarity, the demand for a coin or set of coins, and a coin’s condition or quality.
> Rarity
The rarity of a particular coin helps to determine its value. Because many collectors and investors prize the scarcer issues and target them for acquisition, they naturally bid up the prices of those coins.
> Demand
Demand comes from two primary areas: (1) collectors – who build lifelong collections of coins with no intent to sell, and (2) investors – who buy coins in order to earn a profit. Some important factors that can create strong demand for a coin include: rarity, historical significance, quality, and a successful investment track record.
> Condition
The overwhelming majority of minted U.S. coins have been circulated. Many coins were lost and others were damaged by use, thus eliminating any potential for numismatic value. The few surviving uncirculated coins are in a much more pristine condition.
Investment quality coins are primarily those coins rated in the 11 uncirculated grades, 60 and above, on the American Numismatic Association’s 70 point grading scale. A coin’s grade is a measure of its condition or state of preservation. The higher the grade, the better the condition.
Uncirculated coins fall into two broad categories: Proof (PF or PR) and Mint State (MS). Mint State coins were originally meant for circulation but never were circulated, so they remain in the same condition today as when they were minted. Proof coins were never meant for circulation, therefore they received very careful handling and were specially struck at least twice on highly polished planchets.
The beauty of a coin can attract collectors as well as investors, which increases the demand for a particular coin or set. Increased demands result in rising values. Eye appeal is affected by several factors including the beauty of a coin’s design, the minting process used, the fullness and sharpness of its strike, the toning, the brilliance of its luster, and the amount of wear and number of blemishes on the coin’s surface.
