I think the Sacagawea are very handsome coins and pay nice tribute to our native Americans but its the premiums that drive me away and I have small confidence in gold numismatic face value coins despite their beauty and despite the current gold madness.
The exception being some of the Euro-Empire numismatics with interesting mintage years but even they take a long time to accrue investor interest and even then on a case by case preference, usually depending on the Sov represented. Lately it seems their value has been their price vis a vis their melt value and any old gold coin has that. If anything the many are hard to unload due to their defiant eccentricities.
Of course there are exceptions, most of all Yank and Brit ones but Ive seen some fine French, Spanish, Italian, and other gold Sov's that are lovely enough to have more interest then they have had. I think likely its the Kraaazy prize of gold driving this madness.
But it is what it is and there are many 1/2 oz gold coins out now that spark value in the stacking communitydue to low premiums. The
Bullion Exchange, which I vouch for, has 1/2 oz Philharmonics for $1,707.74 which equate to $3,415.48 an oz. . A full oz going for $3,363.65 and a premium of $26.29 per coin which ain't bad considering gold is on an upswing.
It put 1/2 oz bullion coinage back within reach of the working stiff thru an established and popular gold coin. Even 1/2 oz Gold Eagles have stayed below insanity at $1,727.90. Lunch money above the Philharmonics.
I dont own 1/2 oz'er and am kicking myself for not buying Phil's at the dip tho even still theres a case to be made for them. They are handsome coins indeed.
