collecting gold coins?
I was thinking about starting to collect coins as a hobby and as an investment, however they can be quite expensive. Do they lose their value on initial purchase and then appreciate in value over the years? It's just that If I do collect them then I would not like to know that they are worth less than I paid for them. What should I look out for? Which appreciate in value best? any useful help appreciated.
Actually I was thinking of getting the coins new from the Royal mint rather than melting them down. Thanks anyway everyone.
Since you said Royal mint then I believe you live in the UK. You will be paying more than the coin is actually worth. Depending on the price it may take many years to get your money back, plus make a profit. Here in the States people are buying up the gold bullion coins at prices way over it's gold value. Dealers buy those type items for a percentage less than spot value of gold and sell for more than the spot price of gold on the day you buy or sell. Most gold coins from the mints of the world are way over priced. Coins as a hobby is fun and I have done well over the years, the reason is, I don't consider it an investment. I also learn about each series so I know more than the dealer, but never let on that I do. I can get rare varieties of coins for common prices that way. Unless you are very wealthy and don't mind waiting a long time for a profit, leave the gold alone. The Royal mint as well as the U.S. mint make special proof gold coins that are priced way over their gold value. Do to that fact sales are not so good some years and that date becomes rare and the price goes way up. Doing this one takes a chance that he picked the right year to buy. Hope this helps.
