The Best Information on five dollar gold coins

Among my top five worst coin investments are modified coins, such as genuine U.S. Mint products that have been altered by adding holographics or coloring. These coins are generally considered "damaged" by serious coin collectors, and you will only get the bullion value when you go to sell them, if that. I have heard of dealers discounting them because of the added impurities that the paint and other crap applied to the coins adds to the metal.
According to many experts, the best type of investment coins are rarer, key date coins issued by the United States, in the best grade you can afford to buy them in. If you can't afford to shell out $2,000 a coin to buy key dates in high grades, then buy common coins in the finest grades you can. Lower grade, common coins have historically not appreciated as much in value as key date coins do, so they are probably not a good investment choice (although they're great for filling up the holes in albums, especially with kids helping out!)
Buy Krugerrand gold coins.

An added benefit of your gold investment is it will hedge you against inflation, the savers worst nightmare. Inflation means the dollars you have saved for your down payment are worth less each day. As inflation rises, however, gold will appreciate in value to help counteract the lower value of your dollars. This is very similar to how oil stocks provide a hedge against higher gasoline prices. This is a more advanced investment topic and should not be your primary concern but is worth consideration. If you're only buying one coin, it's not going to provide a huge amount of insurance against inflation but it's nice to know you have some protection. Most importantly, it's a great feeling to know that luck is on your side. Buy a gold coin and you will start noticing good things happening in your life. Buy a gold coin and you will quickly save enough money for your mortgage down payment on the home of your dreams.
