The good thing about the First Spouse coins is it&#039;s still possible to buy them close to spot because there is little collector interest right now (don&#039;t chase these for larger premiums though).&nbsp; Buying close to spot reduces your risk.&nbsp; In my opinion, if you hold them for 10+ years, the extremely low mintages (around 10,000 or less coins on some of the types) could give you a potential rarity kicker.&nbsp; The operative word here is &quot;could&quot;.&nbsp; &nbsp; No guarantees on this ... they may always remain a bullion coin, as the series is currently being pretty much ignored by collectors.&nbsp; I personally like the 4 first spouse coins in the &quot;Liberty&quot; subset (esp the Jackson, Van Buren, and Buchanan), those coins use a design on the obverse that was used in American coinage -- which i think could increase demand down the road since coin collectors will recognize the obverse design.&nbsp; Some of the other (non liberty) spouses, have uncirculated mintages around 3,000 which is crazy low in the modern age.&nbsp; (Just a note that the First Spouse Gold coins are all 1/2 ounce).</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"></span><span style="color: #000000"><img src="http://mindstar.com/FirstSpouce_VanBurenLiberty.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </span><img src="http://mindstar.com/FirstSpouce_JacksonLiberty.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"> </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">In any case, I do agree that the American Gold Eagles do trade better (very liquid) because they are so popular, however they will never be rare. I think the series mintage on AGE&#039;s is over 15 million right now.&nbsp; </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Another&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; coin to consider is the American Buffalo Gold coin, they also trade fairly close to spot, but the series mintage is less than 1 million so far.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">If you feel hesitant, just go with the Gold Eagles (a pure bullion coin play). Sometimes the simple play is the best play, especially if you are just starting out.&nbsp; In terms of pure visual appeal, it&#039;s hard to beat the American Gold Eagle.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
