GOLD COINS

Gold is real money. Gold is the king of money.

The first gold coins were struck by King Croesus in Lydia during his reign between 560 and 547 BC. Gold coins have continued as legal tender since that time. Bullion coins and small gold bars offer private investors an attractive way of investing in relatively small amounts of gold. Gold bullion coins range in size from 1/20 ounce to 1000 grams. The most common weights are 1/20, 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 ounce. The market value of bullion coins is determined by the value of their fine gold content. Bullion coins should not be confused with commemorative coins, whose value depends on rarity, design and finish.
