Picking coins for Investment


When picking coins as an investment, there are many factors to consider before making a purchase. Buying hard assets, just like any other investment class, is a combination of being informed and buying at the right time. Each one of our coins is hand selected and we feel each will give you the best possible out come when making a purchase. There are no guarantees of future performance for any asset class, including collectible coins as an asset class.

There are several reasons why we believe the Russian 2008 190th Anniversary of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Goznak" 1818 Approval of Paper Currency as Legal Tender - 5oz Silver Proof has good investment potential.  First, to point out the obvious, the mintage is very limited, as only 1,500 coins of this issue were minted during its release in 2008.  Secondly, the Bank of Russia rarely produces coins with gold gilding, let alone 5oz silver coins with gold gilding.  In addition, the theme of Russian currency has always been and continues to be one of the most, if not the most popular, non-animal, themes in Russian coins Furthermore,  the coin sold out very quickly when it was issued in 2008.  Finally, the coin is beautiful and commemorates an important event in Russian financial history.  Remember, when buying collectible coins or any asset class, there are no guarantees and past performance of a coin’s return is Not indicative of future results.
