The Greatest Gold Deal EverWe live in uncertain times, and I fear that those who listen to the government will find themselves in trouble. While we enjoy great new technologies, our current economic environment is not the same as it once was in America.

Today, we live in a world where government intervention controls virtually every aspect of our lives. We see massive government spending, burdensome regulations on businesses and individuals, high taxation, manipulated interest rates, and massive money creation from the Federal Reserve.

The government has made more promises than it will ever be able to fulfill just with Medicare and Social Security alone. Meanwhile, our current economic status is one of bubbles and busts, a seemingly continuous cycle from the Fed’s constant tampering with the money supply and interest rates.

We will probably continue to see cycles of booms and busts. Some of them will be more severe than others. But overall, I still see a trend of inflation. It is the path of least resistance for politicians and central bankers, and it is easier than cutting spending or raising taxes.

Unfortunately, when you talk to the average investment advisor, most are only mildly concerned about inflation. They might recommend some TIPS — bonds that are supposed to return a higher percentage with higher price inflation. Or they may just say having stocks is enough of a hedge against inflation.

If you are lucky, you might find an investment advisor who recommends that 5% of your portfolio be put into gold holdings. This is certainly better than nothing, and it is better than those advisors who recommend no gold, but it is still not nearly enough protection for you.

Most people — economists and financial advisors included — go to your typical public school that teaches some form of Keynesian economics. They hear it in college, and they hear it from the media. Some may get some exposure to free market economics, but it is not usually enough to teach them anything in depth about central banking and fiat currencies.

But if you study real free market economics and history, you will see that central banking and fiat currencies are a great danger to your finances and your standard of living. In some ways, they are a great danger to civilization.

You can look at extreme examples of hyperinflation, such as the German hyperinflation of the 1920s. Many South American countries have experienced extremely high inflation in the last few decades. And Zimbabwe is a recent example of hyperinflation, even though it was not an advanced country to begin with.

I am not predicting hyperinflation. But what happens if we hit inflation such as what was seen in the 1970s? What if prices are going up at a rate of 15% or more?

This will do some major damage to your investment portfolio if you are not protected. There is no guarantee that stocks will go higher during high inflation, let alone actually keep up with the inflation.

So you need to protect your portfolio against it.

If you get a 5% return on your investments but prices increase at 15%, then you actually have a decline of about 10% in purchasing power. Imagine if this compounded on itself over the course of a few years.

I recommend a permanent portfolio for at least a majority of your financial investments, including 25% in gold and gold-related investments. This protects you against inflation and against losing purchasing power. When price inflation gets bad, or even when there is just an anticipation of high price inflation, gold will tend to go up at an even greater rate.

While you can invest in gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and gold certificates, I always recommend that everyone have at least a small portion of their gold holdings in physical gold. You should be able to physically touch this gold and know that you own it. It is not just a certificate that says you have gold stored somewhere.

Holding Physical GoldI generally recommend that your physical holdings be in coin form. Coins tend to be more recognizable and harder to counterfeit. You may pay a slightly higher premium to buy them, but you will also command a slightly higher premium if you ever decide to sell.

While it is certainly acceptable to own some larger coins (one ounce), I believe it is also a good idea to own some coins with a lower denomination. It is the same concept as having one-dollar bills in an emergency.

If there is a hurricane and you find a store that is open and has a bottle of water left costing $3, what will you do if you only have a $20 bill and the store doesn’t have any change? You can’t use a credit card or a debit card. Are you going to pay $20 for a bottle of water that should only cost you $3? And what if you only have a $100 bill?

The point is that it is a good idea to carry around some smaller denominations.

I don’t consider myself a “prepper” in the way the term is used today, but I do believe it is a good idea to be prepared. Whether you hit an emergency or just a time when you need some extra cash, it is a good idea to have access to some smaller denominations. This includes both cash and gold.

Imagine a situation of a government-imposed bank holiday or some kind of bank crisis. Let’s say they are closed for a few days, and you can’t access your money. If you have gold coins, you at least have the option of using them — either directly for payment or by selling them for cash.

If you go to a local coin dealer with a one-ounce gold coin, he may not have $1,200 to buy it from you. Or you may not want that much money. It is a good idea to have the option of selling a smaller coin for a few hundred dollars instead.

We all hope we will never be in a desperate situation of having to sell gold quickly, but it is better to be prepared in case the unforeseen occurs. Since you are buying gold anyway, you may as well own

some smaller denomination coins.

Gold ConfiscationSome gold investors are concerned that the government may try to confiscate gold holdings. It is certainly not without precedent. In 1933, there was an order issued by Franklin Roosevelt to seize gold shortly after he became president. It is hard to believe, but it was illegal to own most gold for over four decades in the U.S. In this sense, we are freer today than we once were.

I think the chance of a gold confiscation today is low. The U.S. dollar was still tied to gold in 1933 when Roosevelt issued his tyrannical executive order. Americans redeeming gold was inhibiting the central bank’s ability to inflate the money supply as rapidly as it wanted. The confiscation of gold was a government tactic to enable the politicians to spend more and run deficits with the help of the Fed.

We obviously have no gold backing today. However, gold does still pose a threat to the Establishment, as it can be a benchmark for the Fed’s actions in wrecking the currency. It puts the declining value of the dollar on display. Gold will be even more of a threat in the future if people start using it more as a form of money in place of dollars.

While I don’t think a confiscation is likely, you never know what might happen in a major economic crisis. In a national emergency, it would not be out of the question for Obama or some future president to attempt to seize the gold owned by Americans.

So even though this is not a likely scenario, it is still something we should consider when buying our gold.

NumismaticsFor the permanent portfolio that I recommend, your gold holdings should generally track the price of gold. If you want to invest in gold stocks, this should be done outside of the permanent portfolio — in your speculative portfolio.

With that said, at some point we will enter into a gold bull market again. With economic turmoil becoming more evident again, we may see another round of so-called quantitative easing, or digital money printing.

When the Federal Reserve creates money out of thin air, this eventually leads to higher prices. If it gets bad enough and the perception is that it won’t end anytime soon, then commodities will usually follow. Gold tends to go up in a time of loose money and artificially low interest rates.

If the Fed starts up another big round of money creation in an attempt to support the economy, then this could be the start of a new bull run in gold.

Interestingly, it is during these times that other hard assets tend to be profitable, including collectibles. This could include fine art, stamp collections, and baseball cards. But I am not here to recommend any of those things right now.

Another beneficiary of this is likely to be numismatics or rare coins. You will pay a premium when you buy rare collector coins, but those premiums will likely go way up during a bull market in gold. It is not hard to imagine a scenario where gold doubles in price and rare gold coins are going up five- or tenfold.

The good news is that some of the older rare coins have not been attracting a lot of attention or investment money lately. Where others aren’t looking, I see great opportunity.

Due to the last few years being down years for gold, and due to the lack of attention to collector gold coins, the premiums on many of these coins are extremely low right now. You can pay just a few dollars more than you would pay for a regular gold coin and get the opportunity of much greater returns.

Coins to Cover All BasesThe good news is that there are gold coins that can help us solve all of these potential problems and opportunities in one shot.

Now, there are two collector gold coins that you should buy today to cover all of the bases discussed above: the British Sovereign and the Swiss 20 Franc.

The Swiss 20 Franc should not be confused with Switzerland’s currency. It is also referred to as Helvetia, which is printed on the coin.

A British Sovereign gold coin contains 0.2354 ounces of fine gold. A Swiss 20 Franc gold coin contains 0.1867 ounces of fine gold. In other words, they are smaller denominations as compared to your typical one-ounce gold coin. So for the criteria of having smaller denominations, these coins fit the bill.

They are still worth quite a bit, but not nearly as much as a regular one-ounce coin. It is possible this could change one day in the future, but that wouldn’t be a bad thing if you own some.

When Roosevelt issued Executive Order 6012 in 1933 to seize the gold held by Americans, there were certain exemptions put in for jewelry and collector coins. Both the British Sovereign and the Swiss 20 Franc were part of this exemption. An American could legally own these coins and not have to worry about going to prison, as draconian as that sounds.

If we were ever put in this situation again, it is quite possible that a similar executive order could be issued as the one from over 80 years ago. The government would probably exempt certain collector coins this time around, too.

I hope you are never faced with a decision of whether to turn in your gold or face possible jail time for being caught with gold in your possession. But why take a chance? While I believe the chance of a confiscation is low, we cannot always foresee future events. Sometimes it is good to have a little insurance, and that is really one of the main reasons to buy gold anyway.

In addition to being exempted from confiscation, these coins also offer the benefit of more privacy.

There are no dealer reporting requirements, and the current interpretation of tax law and IRS regulations does not require that buyers or sellers report them. Again, another one of the main purposes for buying gold is privacy.

But let’s get to the real meat of this matter. Let’s say there is no confiscation in the future and there is no need for smaller denominations. Are these still a good investment? After all, we still want this to be profitable and not just a form of insurance.

The good news is that the British Sovereign and the Swiss 20 Franc offer something of a double play — they offer double the opportunity for profit.

Like any gold coin, you will have the benefit of an increase in the price of gold. Again, the Swiss 20 Franc contains 0.1867 ounces of fine gold, and the British Sovereign contains 0.2354 ounces. You will always get the appreciation in the price of gold.

You can even technically use these coins as part of your core holdings or, as I recommend, as part of your permanent portfolio. Just be sure to base the value of the gold content and not to include the extra premium as part of your core holdings. If you own five Swiss 20 Franc coins, then this will equal almost one ounce of gold.

Of course, the other profit opportunity with these two coins is in the premium. As I mentioned, if we hit a new bull market in gold and some of these collector coins start to garner some attention, as has been the case historically, then we could see the premiums skyrocket.

So not only would they be going up in value because of the actual gold content, but with increased demand, the premiums would be going up, too. This makes for a great high-profit opportunity, while still having the safety of knowing that they will always be worth at least the amount of gold in them.

Again, premiums right now are historically low, and this may not last long once the gold price starts to run up. So I strongly recommend picking up some British Sovereigns and Swiss 20 Francs right away.

In fact, because it’s so important for you to have your own stockpile of these two coins, I’ve worked a special deal with my connection over at Amerigold.

Fact Sheets

Swiss 20 FrancsThese beautiful coins (shown below) were minted many decades ago –and may well be more than a century old. They are the most sought after gold coins by investors who are concerned with privacy and potential gold confiscation issues. Under current tax law, and IRS regulation interpretations, these coins require no reporting whatsoever when you buy or sell them. They also were exempted from the infamous Executive Order 6012, issued by Franklin D. Roosevelt on April 5, 1933, confiscating the gold holdings of American citizens. Could a confiscation happen again in this day and age? Whether you believe so or not, in the final analysis, one must ask, “why accept an unnecessary risk,” when you can purchase these coins for around the same price as the modern bullion coins of similar size.

In addition, the world gold coins offer a double opportunity to profit. Naturally as with any gold bullion coin, the value increases as gold rises. But, investors can also profit handsomely as the premium over gold’s value rises. Historically, many of these coins have traded for as much as a 90% premium over their gold value. A good example is the Swiss 20 Franc, which tradedbetween 1972–1979 for an average premium over the gold price of 64%.

Because these coins are no longer minted, coin availability is subject to what can be found on the open market. From time to time we come across these coins which we offer to customers on a first come first serve basis.

Please call 1 800-574-0047 for pricing and availability.
