On my personal "do not buy" list are coins issued by the National Collector's Mint. The U.S. Mint has issued warnings about this company's misleading advertisements in the past, particularly its "Freedom Tower" coins. National Collector's Mint ads imply that Freedom Tower coins have meaningful amounts of precious metal in them when they do not. In addition, despite the perception they often give to the contrary, nothing this "Mint" makes has any association whatsoever with the genuine U.S. Mint, and it is my opinion that the coins they sell are, and will remain, virtually worthless as an investment collectible.

The $20 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin has been considered by many to be one of the most beautiful coins ever created. In addition to its beauty, investors privately acquire this gold coin which has outperformed gold bullion.

Collectors And Coin Dealers Article Of The WeekValue of Gold Bullion Coins
By Misha Kerogazov
Bullion coins by definition are the coins minted for investments and not for circulation. They are valued for their precious metal content rather than for their numismatic value.
The value of gold bullion coins in its essence is the gold value of a coin plus the premium. The gold value varies with the time of course but it is what it is on the gold market, which is around $30 per gram at the present. The premium on the other hand is a very subtle subject and can be affected by many factors. And we're going to have a look at some of them.
One of the most usual factors is the coin grade. This one can be split into the coin finish and the coin grade itself. The finish for gold bullion coins can be either brilliant uncirculated or proof. Proof coins usually have higher premium than their brilliant uncirculated counterparts. The grade of a coin is basically its condition. And of course, better condition means higher premium. The grade can vary from PO-1 (pure) to MS-70 (perfect) for normal coins and from PF-01 to PF-70 for proof coins.
Another factor that can affect the value of gold bullion coins is the coin mintage, or the number of coins issued in any particular year or in total. This one is not as crucial for bullion coins as for normal ones because usually bullion coins are minted in great number, but for some coins and for some years it can be significant. It is not an issue of course for the coins that either don't have a year (which is quite rare) or have some set year in the past (like Mexican Pesos or Austrian Ducats).
And the last factor that can affect the value of gold bullion coins is actually the size of a coin. It may sound odd, but smaller coins usually have higher premium.
The first modern gold bullion coin was the South African Krugerrand minted in 1967 and weighed exactly 1 troy ounce (31.10 g). The value of the coin was basically its gold value plus very small premium (3-5%). As the coin proved to be very popular, other countries started minting their bullion coins and at the later years started producing coins as fractions of the troy ounce - half ounce, quarter, tenth, and finally twentieth, which is just about 1.5 g. The premium of the latter one can be up to 50% of the gold value. So, if you're planning on investing into gold bullion coins, consider buying bigger ones.

Your gift could provide the perfect starting point to start mentoring and teaching your loved ones all about your passion for gold.

Gold coins were one of the oldest forms of money. This was later followed by silver coins. Gold coins were in circulation in the United States from 1838 to 1933. The design was the Liberty Head bust but this was only made until 1907. The design was then changed to the Indian Head and Saint Gaudens motifs and was used until 1933 when the Great Depression began. This prompted the recall of gold coins which makes them very difficult to find today.
