Even investors who have recently made a wide berth to play precious metals, are becoming increasingly common with the idea to create a supply of physical gold. This is unwise given the fragile financial system quite well. Additionally, those who still brings a sense of aesthetics, the land of gold coins quickly - especially at Christmas.
A basic distinction is between collector coins and bullion coins. Collector coins are only produced in small numbers. A large part of their value lies in the rarity. Similar stamps they require special skills and an enthusiasm for the subject. For the normal retail investors are therefore more investment coins. Its value is defined largely by the material used and not uncommon. The smaller the coin, the higher the premium over the intrinsic value.
The most popular gold coin, the Krugerrand from South Africa. She is the oldest of the moda legal tender. The value is measured here depends on the prevailing gold price. Besides the one-ounce coin (31.1 g), there is also tenth, quarter-and half-ounce coins. By the addition of copper gives the Krugerrand its distinctive reddish color.
The Canadian Maple Leaf was at its introduction in 1979, the first bullion coin with a gold fineness of 99.9 percent. He is now the largest circulation coin. In addition to the denominations of Krugerrands are the Maple Leaf, a twentieth-ounce coin. Besides the gold coin, there are also some silver, platinum and palladium.
The American Eagle is the U.S. counterpart to the Maple Leaf. Much like the Krugerrand, it consists of an alloy. The gold is mixed with copper (5 percent) and silver (3 percent). Thus, the coin is more resistant to scratches. It exists in four standard sizes between one tenth and a whole oz
Popular European bullion coin is the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra from Austria. The coins have a nominal value € 10-100, but it costs in view of its material value multiples. The Vienna Philharmonic exist in four standard sizes. The most popular silver coin in this country is the 10-euro silver coin. It's official currency, and until recently had the charm, the face value and that was at the same sale price of 10 euros, almost synonymous with the material value of the processed silver. Due to the significant increase in silver prices, this has changed. Therefore, there are two different versions in the future: "The" basic version, which still costs ten euros is the future of a copper-nickel alloy. It is therefore no longer a serious investment.

Please note that you pay VAT on the acquisition of real silver. The rate differs between silver bullion (19 percent) and silver coins, which also serve as legal tender (7 percent). When gold is no VAT. Therefore, in my view are silver coins to you only as a slight admixture precious portfolio.

In most cases you can pay there unnecessary premiums. Be sure of collecting coins and commemorative coins, which are advertised from these sellers.
