Once the national bank system was established, privately issued bank money was declared to be illegal. Ever since US government money was issued it has retained monetary value. However, it is not the same case with the obsolete old bills from closed banks and this is the prime reason why these banknotes are worth finding. Actually private banknotes from the 1800s have remained an interesting item for collectors throughout the centuries.

Rare Coins

By Kent Pinkerton

One good form of investment is to buy rare coins that over the years have grown in value. This type of coin, particularly in the United States, boasts extraordinary value presenting a wonderful opportunity for rare gold coin collectors. With prices at nearly five year lows, coupled with the availability of the choicest coins in the market, this it is the best time to collect rare coins. Rare gold and silver coins are in demand especially among investors, since they provide the needed balance to stock portfolios thereby reducing over all risks and generating a large amount of profit. Financial analysts recommend placing a 10-20% of discretionary funds in precious metals like rare coins even for those who own gold mining stocks.

Rare coins are very good performing financial assets in their own right. A recent market analysis of rare gold and silver coins conducted by Coin Universe shows that $1,000 invested in U.S. rare coins during the 70�s would now be worth on the average nearly $58,000. If we review history, paper assets like bonds, stocks and treasury bills lose value while gold, platinum and silver rare coins appreciate in value. Having rare coins in your portfolio will dramatically reduce its volatility and protect your investment from economic uncertainties such as inflation.

Rare coins that can only be traded should be certified and graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service and the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, two leading independent grading firms. They should come with a complete money-back guarantee. Some firms specialize in finding the right rare coin to suit the buyers� needs and budget. Others carry rare coins at an affordable price.

Snippets Of Numismatists News

Does it pass the silver coin ring test? Silver coins have a distinctive ring when held on the tip of a finger and tapped with another coin. Be careful doing this test, though; you don't want to ding or damage the coin, or drop it onto a hard surface, so use some judgement. The ring test can be helpful when all other easy methods of checking are inconclusive. Remember, if something ever feels "wrong" about a silver coin, don't buy it! Trust your instincts! And if you've already bought it, send it back!

As collectors' items, banknotes have distinct advantages over stamps and coins: They have a much larger surface area, creating more room for interesting information and attractive artwork. Compared to a coin, a banknote is extremely lightweight and thin, making a large collection much easier to store and transport. Over the postage stamp, the banknote has the advantage of having two sides, and again, a much larger surface area.

When it comes to hand lenses, four or five powers of magnification seem to be the norm for many collectors. At these powers, an entire coin may be viewed all at once, which is especially useful when grading. Nevertheless, unless you are an experienced numismatist, you will not be able to see characteristics such as metal flow, die doubling, and counterfeit diagnostics on many coins when using minimal magnification. The micrograph shows the head detail of a genuine 1861-O CSA Obverse Seated half dollar. This view is close to what you would expect to see when using a 10� hand lens.

It is pretty evident that a lot of old money has significant value nowadays. It is true that casual collectors cannot afford to have any authentic old money and notes from the 1800s and early 1900s as their value and consequently price are too high. That's how collecting souvenir cards are becoming more and more popular. Having them you can collect a piece of history without actually paying a high price for it.

Today, like all investments and commodities, the price of gold is ultimately driven by supply and demand, including hoarding and disposal. Unlike most other commodities, the hoarding and disposal plays a much bigger role in affecting the price, because most of the gold ever mined still exists and is potentially able to come on to the market for the right price. Given the huge quantity of hoarded gold, compared to the annual production, the price of gold is mainly affected by changes in sentiment, rather than changes in annual production.

Before you buy gold or silver, always know the spot price of gold. You should expect to pay no less than the spot price of gold for popular gold bullion coins and bars. If the item is selling for a lot less than the spot price of gold, that is a big red flag. Why? Ebay is a relatively efficient market these days, especially as gold becomes more and more popular. If an authentic coin is selling at a steep discount to spot, you can buy it and sell it back to someone else for spot price and get an immediate profit (this is called arbitrage). In an efficient market, arbitrage should not happen. If you see a steep discount and it looks to good to be true, it probably is. Proceed with caution in that case.
