Diversifying your portfolio with a carefully chosen selection of rare coins offers you financial insurance, as coins have traditionally increased in value when equity investments such as stocks and bonds are under sever selling pressure. Rare coins are selling at a steep discount to their 1980 s highs and given the cyclical nature of the rare coin market, may be poised for rapid price appreciation in the near future. The beauty of rare coins can be enjoyed much like any other work of art. In fact, world-renowned artists and sculptures designed many of our most popular rare coins. Rare coins are one of the few remaining investments that can be accumulated in private, and are not subject to government scrutiny common to other types of investments held in banks and brokerage houses.
Rare coins are easy to store and virtually indestructible.
A small safe-deposit box can hold a virtual treasure of rare coins. Rare coins represent truly portable wealth, which can be moved from place to place very quickly and easily. For example, shortly after the Second World War, thousands of citizens of Eastern Europe fled Communist rule with only the clothes on their backs and a few rare gold coins in their pockets. Few collectible investments are as liquid and tradable as rare coins. With the advent of independent grading services, U.S. coins have become the most liquid collectibles.
