Question by : American Eagle gold coin?
I was looking for an American Eagle gold coin from 1956 for a gift. I'm finding out that the US didn't mint any gold coins during that era. Is this true?
Can someone suggest an alternative coin from 1956? I prefer it to be an American coin but I will consider all alternatives I really want a gold coin but a silver dollar may also work & be a lot less expensive.
It needs to be at least the size of a silver dollar so that it can be seen if displayed on a desk or credenza.
Grade doesn't matter as it's a gift not really for an investment.

A web site where I can purchase such a coin would be appreciated.

Thank You
John

No gold coin minted in 1956 and no silver dollar minted in 1956 by the US Treasury.

The set is not complete, missing some dates, so you wouldn't get anything extra beyond the value of the individual coins. Only the 1996 has much value beyond the silver, and if silver keeps rising, that extra premium will shrink. If you sold them to a dealer, you'd be offered current spot market price to one dollar per coin over (what dealers in my area are paying). They are beginning to get a little expensive for some collectors, but silver bullion buyers are snapping them up at $ 38 to $ 40 each.

A premium over spot price is standard practice in the Bullion Market. The amounts you describe are alittle high for gold but good for silver.
Premiums depend on several factors:
Supply & Demand
Amount of bullion purchased
Brand of Mint (Silver & Gold American eagle's versus a no-name Mint)
Current Market Conditions(Hot/Cold)
New bullion or Circulated

You can get like 90% silver coins for as low as $ 0.50 over spot.
Gold American Eagles around $ 45.00 over spot. Silver Eagle's $ 2-$ 3 over spot.

Answer by maria.
I don't have silver American Eagle flats but I have two other American Eagle flats. One of them is made of this fake leather material and the other one is made of some kind of cotton. They're pretty but they are both actually very uncomfortable and aren't made for trips like that. Sometimes the back of the shoe hits the back of my foot and scrapes some skin off when I walk (for both shoes). I suggest just using a pair of Converse or something of that sort.

coin shop but be careful, if he says " not much I'll give you a dollar"

RUN do not walk

go to the library they have coin books

I just sold siver medals at $ 30 oz but the price is closer to $ 45 an oz and rising

1933 has collectors value.

Question by : Investing in silver. Tips and advice?
Hi, i'm 17 years old and i want to get into buying silver. I have done a lot of research and am fully convinced that its what i want to do. Id rather put my money into my future rather than clothes or electronics. I don't have much money right now so gold is out of the question. I have enough money right now for about 3 or 4 ounces. Im thinking of starting out with American Silver Eagles or Canadian Silver Maples. Any tips on where to buy from? Gainsville coins seems like they have a good deal on 1 oz coins. Apmex is slightly more expensive but that can add up. Also, any tips on books or websites where i can learn more? Thanks in advance!

Best answer:

Answer by Brian
I use APMEX to buy precious metals. They do not require a minimum purchase and they usually have American Eagles and Canadian Maples on hand. Some other sites will have your items on backorder for over 3 months because they do not have the silver on hand.

Gold and silver are good investments to make but don't expect to make much money on them right away. They are a safe investment and will always have the same value in terms of buying power regardless of factors that effect the value of the dollar such as inflation. These metals are used more as a safeguard against economic crisis.

It seems like you know what you are doing. If you are going to buy do it as soon as you can. The price will only go up over time.

Question by : What gold and silver stocks would you recommend at this time?
I would like to invest $ 20,000 in them. What stocks would you recommend at this time? I
also would like to buy some physical gold and some physical silver. In physical silver, which
is a better investment Pre (1964 90% silver coins) or( American Silver Eagles .999% pure silver).
Pre 1964 coins do have numismatic value in them but less silver content. Finally, what percent would you invest $ 13,000 in gold vs. silver stocks. THANK YOU/ THANK YOU for taking time to read and answer my questions. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Best answer:

Answer by S
GLD ETF for gold and SLV ETF for silver. Both track the move of their corresponding metal. Would avoid numismatic coins for they have a too wide spread on them. You can buy the Gold ETF GLD through your stock broker that is selling for 1/10 of the price of gold per share or around $ 135-138 per share and also the SLV ETF through your broker.

You can buy non-numismatics type gold coins such as American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, South African Krugerrands, China Panda, etc. through a reputable coin dealer. You can check the current spot price via http://www.kitco.com/charts/livegold.htm… and then call the dealer for a quote on the coin to see if their spread is wide or narrow.

If buying silver non-numismatics coins from a coin dealer, check http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.h… for the current spot silver prices before just calling the dealer for a quote on that 1 oz. silver coin. Silver coins can be American silver eagles, Silver Chinese Pandas, Canadian Maple Leafs, Australian Kookaburras, Koalas, and Lunars.

The percentage allocation is your personal preference. You may want to buy them over time as prices for both are at their highs and you do not want to buy all at the peak.
