Thinking of Making my first gold purchase..........

tougregt

Hello, Merry Christmas.
I am thinking of making my first 1oz golden eagle purchase. Your thoughts on a pcgs slabbed 1 oz golden eagle, or a new uncertified golden eagle. This is strickly for investment terms.
thanks.

Personally, I would recommend the bullion, unless you want to go the rare coin route - then that goes beyond gold melt value, often by a long way. Collector values can rise and fall, much like bullion values.... but depending on rarity, can be much more stable than bullion. Many variables here.... I am sure there will be a great deal of advice coming soon on this thread....Cheers, RickO

gold eagle is an excellent choice. If buying strictly for bullion value consider a certified MS69 - not much more cost than raw yet it is certified as authentic.

Also, what is the best place to purchase a certified one?

100% agree. not the "w" either, straight MS-69 PCGS 1 oz eagles. can't go wrong.

Sadly with all the coin and slab fakes in the market, I would stay off Ebay until you learn more about what you are buying.

I would make the first buy from either Heritage or David Lawrence. Both move a lot of bullion type stuff at close margins and would provide a better layer of protection until you have some more experience.

I'd be a little bid more patient before making any gold purchase. Trying to catch a "falling knife" can be painful. Cash is KING.

A 2013-W Proof AGE from the Mint, in original gov't packaging with certificate. Several factors would support this choice.

True, but we have 4 times as many Kings in the money supply as we did in 2008!

Buy 1oz AGE no more than $60 over. I usually can get better buys at coin shows but timing/market don't always fall on coin show weekend

Get one, feel REAL money GOLD in your hands You jus may keep on stacking them AGE's!
