We live in very unsettling
financial times. It seems that people in the USA
have forgotten what made this country the greatest
place in world history and are increasingly leaning
toward more and more socialism. This flip over to
socialism is having a great impact on our investments.
More socialism = less prosperity. Less socialism
= More Prosperity. My goal is to not debate socialism
but to illuminate how this is all affecting our
rare coin and precious metals investments. We at
US Rare Coin Investments have had the best year
ever and it appears that there's greater and greater
reasons for people to own gold, silver and other
precious metals and especially Numismatics which
just may be the last bastion of private and free
enterprise left in the country.

with questions, take a look at our inventory which
I believe you will find is in the top 3 or 4 best
rare coin inventories in the country. So whether
you are just getting started in rare coins, collect
or invest in gold coins, or are a seasoned collector

best material, the highest quality rare coins, at

Coin
Portfolio Outpaces Stock Performance By David

For some 30 years, this
is the season to look back on a market basket that
gave important, symbolic meaning to the rare coin
market and set coin investment aside as a growth industry.
In the process, it attracted Wall Street to rare coins
as an alternative investment vehicle.
Newsflash that a market
basket had been established by the white shoe investment
banking firm of Salomon Brothers came in 1978. The
tip-off came when the economic review publication
of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston published an
academic article calling attention to an annual study
being prepared under the aegis of R.S. Solomon, a
managing director of the firm looking for new investment
vehicles.
Salomon was looking at
stock and bond prices - the Dow Jones industrial average
had gone from 831 in 1977 to 816 in 1978, then up
to 839 the following year - and sensing that there
had to be investment vehicles that made better rates
of return than a then-stagnant market.
Rare coins were coming
into their own as an investment vehicle; there were
some SEC filings for limited partnerships. There was
also a push from larger firms who outreached to collectors
with telemarketing. There was a lot of direct mail
that was geared toward a program of investing in numismatic
product.
