Some investors have decided to buy certified gold instead of gold bullion in recent years, although PCGS and NGC certified coins are not a wise investment for everyone. Besides the value that certified gold coins have for collectors of rare and unusual pieces, these hermetically sealed rarities are also highly sought after by gold investors who desire physical possession gold for a planned holding period of 14 months or more.
If you would like to own a type of gold that was historically deemed non-confiscatable by our government during national financial distress, you may want to consider rare gold coins such as the ones that have been certified as being in Uncirculated Mint State condition by PCGS and NGC. President Franklin Roosevelt declared that gold coins that hold value to collectors of rare and unusual coins were not subject to government confiscation, and his decree would likely hold up in the event of another gold bullion confiscation.
Although some investors have been able top score some quick profits with physical gold bullion investments, the fact that bullion bars and coins can be seized by our government to back up US currency leaves many investors unsure about bullion investing. If you plan to maintain physical possession of your gold for 14 months or longer and you would like a non-confiscatable type of gold that has historically been more profitable than raw bullion over the long-term, you may want to consider PCGS and NGC-certified specialties like the $20 Saint Gaudens gold coin and the $20 Lady Liberty gold coin.
