The collectors’ choice of gold coin.

My eyes nearly popped out when a small headline obscured by other news attracted my attention. The headlines further lead me into the body of the news that said the coin collectors eagerly collect the Indian $2.5 gold coins.

The face value of this better-preserved gold coin is $2.5 but the market price is valued at $323 to $340.

Thus far I believed that the rarer the coins, the higher its price. This ancient preference is now changed. Coin collectors prefer uncirculated coins that glitter.

Of course, the coins date should be as old as it can be but they should hold all their shine and sheen.

The U.S. Gold bureau sells a large collection of rare and certified coins and the bureau is also the authorized dealer for the U.S. Mint. Naturally, you can buy authentic gold from them.
