American Bullion Gold Eagles Vs Pre 1933 Coins

I my opinion I would invest in pre 1933 gold coins. But certified ones. There is a lot of fakes out there.

Gold is gold, no matter what year they are from, but the pre 1933 coins also bring interest from a numismatic stand point. If you need to sell at some point, in my opinion your pre 1933 gold coins have a better chance to appreciate in value then modern coinage.

Modern coinage will follow the bullion market in the most part as they are available for anyone to buy when they want and high grade coins are also easily located.

Where a pre 1933 gold coin will also follow the bullion market, but will also follow the collectible market because they are not as easily located. I must also say, condition and high grades are a better investment for pre 1933 coins as this adds to there rarity.

Enjoy the hunt!

I buy pre 33 gold coins as well as modern government bullion and have very few that are graded. I don't buy gold as an investment, it's just another place to put cash as I get little to no return on my savings in the bank. I buy for the gold content not the coin and I buy as close to spot as possible.

All that being said, gold just took a $100 nosedive so be diligent in your research and choices. You probably will not get rich investing in gold.
