Three Main Reasons Why Investing In PCGS, NGC and CAC Certified Coins Make Sense

First, certified rare coins store real wealth, protect against 3rd party intrusion, and are fun.

Second, certified rare coins are private, historically important and easy to buy or sell.

Third, certified rare coins are popular, easily stored and many are undervalued.

THE BEST RARE COINS & THE RARITY VERSUS DEMAND SECRECT

Which certified rare coins should you consider for long-term investment? Choosing rare coins which interest you is usually a great start. Early type, colonial coins, patterns, or better date silver dollars can lead to treasure and personal satisfaction. And remind yourself that while rarity is a good start, linking rarity with demand is a better approach. This important “link” pushes the price dynamic.

WHICH GRADE IS BEST? AND WHAT ABOUT EYE APPEAL?

It is important that your certified coins are graded by PCGS (The Professional Coin Grading Service), NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), or CAC (Certified Acceptance Corporation). This enhances liquidity and evaluation. Rare coins are graded using the Sheldon Scale from 1 to 70. The higher the number the better the condition. As rarity increases so does price. Look for a balance between rarity and affordability. At the same time “eye appeal” or what makes the coin “attractive” is important. Some coins barely make the grade while others are so nice they were almost given a higher grade. Understanding how this dynamic works will make your investment job more successful. And keep in mind that California Numismatic Investments (Golddealer.com) is an authorized PCGS, NGC, and CAC dealer, here to help answer your questions.

INTERESTING STORIES ARE IMPORTANT

Certified rare coins with an interesting stories make better choices because their history bring these treasures to life. The more compelling the story the better the opportunity to build valuable holdings and the more satisfying the ownership. To understand this insight consider a series of books which are no longer in print but can be found on eBay called The Numismatist’s Companion – edited by Q. David Bowers. These small books present a wonderful look at the eccentric people, hidden treasure and turbulent times which created today’s rare coin business.

CONSIDER MARKET CYCLES & LOOK FOR VALUE

The price history of certified coins will tell you where in the cycle you are and provide clues which lead to good decisions. Collectors and investors who have a strategy will develop a long-term plan which takes advantage of “up” and “down” markets. Some rare coins today can be purchased for less than their old highs which might suggest a value buy. On the other hand there are coins which are trading at all time highs but their extreme rarity attracts your attention. Identifing both sides can lead to a better informed choice.

The “50 year rule” will also provide focus. If a rare coin is not at least fifty years old it will likley not have an established price record making the judement of where you are in the price cycle more difficult. Building a powerful collection creates value and requires patience. Read a few rare coin books along the way and increase your knowledge base. There is an old adage which says “buy the book before the coin”.  Yeoman’s Guide Book to United States Coins is a classic. It presents a concise introduction, explains grading, offers pricing and includes the history which makes US rare coin investing fascinating and historical. Also worth noting is that we actively buy, sell and trade material everyday. If you have certified rare coins and are looking for a cash offer.
