Why Collect Now

The Federal government began minting gold coins for commercial usage in 1795 and did so continuously until 1933, when a Confiscation Decree was issued by Congress and minting ceased.  Despite the Decree, with threats of fines, imprisonment or both, it is estimated that about 1% of pre-1933 gold coins survived.  They are scarce, rare in some instances, and are highly prized by collectors and investors alike.  According to many numismatic experts, “prospects (for investment) in rare coinage are very bright…thousands of new collectors have discovered the rich history of U.S. gold coins…the sharp rise in gold bullion will probably translate into many new collectors and investors entering the market”.¹  There may never be a better time to acquire U.S. gold coins.

U.S. silver coins are a popular area of numismatics as well, especially the Morgan Silver Dollars minted from 1878 to 1921.  Millions of these coins survived meltings, and other forms of destruction, yet few are of truly investment quality, too few to meet the demand put upon “the most beautiful silver coin ever minted”.  Top quality uncirculated, proof and prooflike specimens are immaculate in their size, eye appeal and affordability.  We suggest these coins and U.S. gold coins as an investment mixture for long term appreciation.

Brighton Capital LLC’s recommendations

include the following starting points for your portfolio:

·         Modern gold bullion coins such as American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, South African Krugerrands, Austrian Philharmonics and other weighing from 1/10 ounce to 1 ounce.

·        Fractional bullion pieces such as Mexican Pesos, French Francs, English Sovereigns, Dutch Gilders and many more are highly traded items as well.

·        .999 gold bars (ingots) from 1 troy ounce to 10 troy ounces

·        Modern silver bullion coins minted, for the most part, by those who mint the gold bullion coins mentioned above.

·        .999 Silver Bars from 1 ounce to 100 ounces; the weight, purity and manufacturer will be stamped onto the bar.

·        Bags of junk silver coins.  These are the dimes, quarters and half dollars minted by the U.S. government dated 1964 and earlier.  They were taken out of circulation when their melt value became more than the face value.  Circulated Silver Dollars fit this category although they trade at a premium due to slightly more silver and their rarity.

·        Rare U.S. gold and silver coins both circulated and uncirculated.  These semi-numismatic to numismatic pieces have out-paced nearly every investment for decades.  Building sets of these coins has always been enjoyable and can be incredibly profitable as well.  Ask your Brighton representative for advice regarding this accumulation approach.
