Serving Investors and Collectors Since 1989...
Every important collection of United States rare coins began the moment a collector put away their very first rare coin. Often, it was a coin just minted in the 1800's or 1900's.
Today, we're thankful to those rare coin collectors with the foresight and finances to put away coins when they were brand new. An important part of our American heritage has been preserved by them and handed down to us from generation to generation.
For us, yesterday's new coins are now today's "rare" coins, especially those beautiful coins carefully put away and never worn in circulation. Recently, millions of American have started in the hobby of rare coin collecting with new Statehood Quarters or American Eagle gold coins, platinum coins, or silver dollars.
However, there is a big difference today. Quarters and modern coins are often minted by the Billions and its doubtful when they will emerge as investment coins. That's why you want the classic U.S. coins for serious collections and investment considerations.
COLLECTING PRE-1933 RARE COINS
There are many places to get started collecting the classic, older U.S. Rare Coins. Collecting U.S. Silver Dollars is very inexpensive and always lots of fun.
If you can afford it, we recommend you acquire Pre-1933 Liberty gold pieces and Saint-Gaudens gold coins minted from the early 1800's to 1933. Coins from this era have a long and proven track record in the Rare Coin Market. Today, we highly recommend serious collectors focus on Pre-1933 U.S. Gold coins over modern gold coins. Here's why:
• The Gold Bullion Mistake - In talking to new clients, we find that the single biggest miskate people make is holding too many American Eagles. Modern gold coins are minted by the millions and offer you NO secondary profit opportunity. Most American Eagles simply go up and down, dollar for dollar, with the price of gold bullion. However, Pre-1933 U.S. Gold Coins offer you substantial leverage over gold bullion alone.
• Complete Privacy, Portability - Pre-1933 U.S. Gold Coins are totally private and completely portable. We do not report your rare coin purchase or sales to anyone. As "Pre-1933 Rare Coins" they are, by law, specifically exempt from current gold confiscation laws.
• Better Profit Advantages - Historically, Pre-1933 U.S. Gold Coins offer significant profit potential above and beyond their gold value alone. Prices of select U.S. Rare Coins appreciated over 1,000% from 1976 to 1980 and 600% from 1982 to 1989.
• Limited Supplies, Growing Demand - The U.S. Mint reports over 60 million new coin collectors joined the hobby in the last 3 years thanks to the new Statehood Quarters Program. Many of those collecting are moving into rare coins and that new demand has been strong in some areas. As they become more comfortable investing in classic coins, the fixed and limited supply of Pre-1933 U.S. Gold Coins should become more and more scarce leading to a bull market for rare coins that could last for decades to come.
Building a comprehensive collection of Pre-1933 U.S. Gold Coins takes financial resources, expert advice from trusted Rare Coin Specialists, and it takes time. Whether we're building a $2,000 portfolio or a million dollar collection, it's important to know your goals, resources, and time frame early on.
That way, we can advise you on building your specific collection. Having detailed goals in mind before you get started adds tremendously to your success in the long run.
SPECIALISTS IN PRE-CIVIL WAR ERA GOLD
Austin Rare Coins has historically specialized in Pre-1933 U.S. Gold Coins that offer quality, value, and historical significance. Some were minted when Thomas Jefferson was President, while other coins we offer were struck before the Civil War.
In fact, our Austin Buying Trust is among the world's leading authorities on Pre-1865 gold coins from the New Orleans Mint, the Charlotte Mint, and Dahlonega Mint.
Our team of Rare Coin Specialists at Austin Rare coins will be glad to consult with you on larger portfolios. We meet with our Austin Buying Trust, consult our senior team and work closely with the President to personally recommend a portfolio to meet your goals.
Our goal is to locate and acquire for our clients the rarest gold coins we can find. We look for those coins we feel are currently undervalued and, given a three to five year holding period, should offer you superb upside appreciation. We consider the specifications for each coin and we carefully hand inspect each coin for great eye appeal. We then make recommendations to you considering the design, mint, rarity of the date, price trends, and collector appeal.
PERSONAL, INDIVIDUAL SERVICE
Our highly specialized sevice might seem unusual in this day and age of pushing a button and buying online. But, I can truly say that you have a small chance of building a successful and prosperous coin collection on your own without at least some expert advice.
Remember, rare coins can and do, go up and down in value, and they are not suitable investments for everyone. While no expert can guarantee you a specific level of profit in the future, understanding all of these facts before you begin is important to your success.
Knowing who you're buying from is even more important. Don't buy from strangers or small coin shops who deal in low grade collector coins. We recommend you avoid low quality, common coins sold in online auctions or at E-bay. Most of those coins are neither rare nor of investment quality. Many have been cleaned, misrepresented, and may be impossible to have certified authentic and graded by the leading grading services. A cheap coin is no bargain if you can't sell it later in the investor market.
