Buying American Gold Coins for Investment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gold, It’s Simple!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Gold has been around for over 5,000 years. Gold is an established symbol of great
\npower and wealth that has withstood the test of time. Its history can be traced
\nback to 3,000 B.C., when the Egyptians linked the power of gold to the life-giving
\nSun God Ra. Greek and Roman temples were often decorated with gold, as an offering
\nto their gods. Ancient civilizations treasured this unique metal. It has been used
\nin religious rituals, been reproduced in the form of religious icons, adorned royalty,
\nand wars have been fought to possess it. Clearly, gold has ALWAYS been coveted because
\nof its established value; yet, it has not always been easy to acquire!<\/p>\n

Today, however acquiring gold is simple. when you are considering what to buy, you
\nwon’t be overwhelmed by the number of choices. There are basically three categories:
\nbullion bars, coins, or rare coins.<\/p>\n

Gold Bullion Bars and Coins <\/strong><\/p>\n

Commonly traded gold bullion bars can be counted on one hand. Commonly traded gold
\nbullion bars are minted and designated by their country of origin and generally
\ncomprise less than 20 varieties. The most commonly traded U.S. rare gold coins (See
\n“Eight Piece Gold Set”) are enumerated below and depicted in our color brochure.

    Rare Gold Coins <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Rare gold coins<\/a> come graded in a condition from 1 to 70 (see Rare Coin Grading), but
    \nthe most commonly acquired rare coins are uncirculated and range from a grade of
    \n60 on the bottom side to 70–a perfect coin–on the top side. What could be simpler
    \nthan that? Compare this to 7,000 stocks, 7,500 mutual funds, and 7,000 hedge funds
    \navailable for selection specifically within the U.S. markets.<\/p>\n

    Again, I emphasize the simplicity of the process for purchase! It begins with your
    \ndecision as to how much money you want to invest. Next, your ITM representative
    \nwill assist you with your coin selection. Upon completion of your coin selection,
    \nyou will be connected by a conference call to ITM’s trading department. All pertinent
    \ninformation–including the coins you will be acquiring, the designated name for
    \nownership of the coins, and the address for shipment of your purchase–will be verified
    \nvia the recorded conference call with our trading department and an invoice will
    \nbe generated. For your protection the coins will arrive registered and insured,
    \nand someone will need to sign for them.<\/p>\n
