<p>[QUOTE="jbb23, post: 1995679, member: 72297"]You can invest in gold bullion coins like the American Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf, Krugerrand, etc. These have a face value, however they are sold and valued by their gold value and gold weight, not their face value. I think that's what Ginger is referring to as 'rounds'. They are equivalent to assayed gold bars and available in sizes ranging from 1/20 to 1 oz.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other option is numismatic coins, which are gold coins that were legal tender and are now valued higher than their gold content because of their rarity. If you are merely looking to buy gold for an investment and hold the metal, bullion coins or bars are the least expensive way to do so. If you like to collect things for their collectible sake, then numismatic coins might appeal to you. Check out PCGS.com for information on all kinds of gold and silver coins. They specialize in grading numismatic coins and have charts with price values for the most common collectors coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
