U.S. gold coins in common dates are a superb way to buy gold. Although called "common dates," these classic U.S. gold coins are actually quite scarce. Of the many millions originally minted, almost all were heavily used in circulation during the 1800s and early 1900s. Only a small fraction survives today in the grades we recommend.
Better than bullion
In our opinion, common date U.S. gold coins are better than bullion for bulk gold buyers. Their true scarcity can mean higher premiums during periods of increased demand. Unlike most forms of gold bullion, they are exempt from broker reporting requirements. They offer all the benefits of gold bullion plus extra benefits like limited supply, collector demand, complete financial privacy, and extra premium potential because of scarcity.
AGE offers highest-quality U.S. gold coins at low prices. All of our certified U.S. gold coins have been graded and authenticated by NGC or PCGS, the most widely trusted independent coin certification firms. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
