The
Tangible Advantage...
Top investment strategists agree that the key to a successful investment
portfolio is diversification. Through changing economic and political
conditions, through turbulent financial markets, and through periods
of fluctuating interest rates, investors can no longer rely on one
single type of investment to help them achieve their financial goals.
Today, diversification
is more important than ever. More financial advisors are recommending
that their clients place 10 to 20 percent of their investment portfolio
into tangible (hard) assets. Rare United States coins are renowned
for their long-term price performance, especially during periods
of high inflation, and can provide long-term stability to a properly
diversified investment portfolio.
Most conventional
investments have capital gains taxes which are calculated against
annual earnings or are assessed against an appraised or perceived
value. Capital gains on rare United States coins can only be taxed
at the time of liquidation. This allows your holdings to appreciate
on a true compounded basis. And, unlike more conventional investments,
there are no tax obligations on "like-kind" exchanges
which allow investors to trade their coins for other coins of equal
or greater value.
Rare United
States coins remain one of the most private of all investments.
Other than the reporting of any capital gains for tax purposes,
there are currently no federal reporting requirements pertaining
to the purchase or sale of rare United States coins. Investors can
take physical possession of their rare coins. They are easily transportable
and easily stored. Unlike gold bullion, rare United States coins
are considered collectibles and, by federal law, cannot be confiscated
in times of national crisis.
We often read
the stories of the multi-million dollar collections that are dispersed
or of the million dollar coin that is sold. But, these are exceptions
rather than the rule. Premium quality rare United States coins are
available in a wide range of price levels. Many excellent values
in quality rare coins exist today. Rare coins, whether they be made
of copper, nickel, silver or gold, are affordable to almost everyone.
