To answer this question we must first define numismatic<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Numismatic is defined by Wikipedia as the study or collection of currency, including coins, tokens, paper money, and related objects.\u00c2\u00a0 The government defines numismatics as gold coins<\/a> having a recognized special value to collectors.\u00c2\u00a0 This is the definition that is important when acquiring gold coins for your portfolio.\u00c2\u00a0 This definition tells you what is and what isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t subject to confiscation, which brings us to the question in the title of this blog.<\/p>\n

People in the industry sell certain coins under the name of semi-numismatic.\u00c2\u00a0 They claim that these coins have some recognized collectible value (even though they are quite common) and therefore would be excluded from confiscation should it occur.\u00c2\u00a0 It should be noted that no one knows for sure if they would actually be excluded if the American people are subjected to confiscation again.\u00c2\u00a0 On the other hand, many would agree that graded rare coins again would be excluded.\u00c2\u00a0 Semi-numismatic coins have high bullion content and are older coins.\u00c2\u00a0 These types of coins are typically gold Swiss francs, British sovereigns and French francs.\u00c2\u00a0 The gold content is close to a fifth of an ounce.<\/p>\n

The reason that people prefer them is that they are more affordable than graded rare coins and they are smaller in size.\u00c2\u00a0 You can pick up a gold Swiss franc for around $275-$300 today depending on the dealer.\u00c2\u00a0 I personally don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think that investors prefer them; they are just more affordable than an ounce of gold or a rare coin.\u00c2\u00a0 They have not performed as well as graded $20 Liberties and $20 Saint Gaudens over the long-term, so to say that investors prefer them would be a false statement (if you agree that investors always want the best rate of return).\u00c2\u00a0 These coins are more approachable to new investors in the gold market and therefore are sold as such.<\/p>\n

I personally feel that it is important to establish your goals and objectives and acquire the right coins for your portfolio.\u00c2\u00a0 If that means gold Swiss francs are a right fit then so be it.\u00c2\u00a0 But don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just buy them because they are more affordable or the sales person tells you to.\u00c2\u00a0 These coins are very easy to check prices on so do your research.\u00c2\u00a0 Some companies sell these coins for far more than what they are worth in order to make huge profits.\u00c2\u00a0 As with everything do your research and make sure you acquire gold for your portfolio that supports your goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
