The number one reason to own gold and silver coins is to counter-balance the declining value of the U.S. dollar. The US Dollar has already survived longer than any other un-backed paper currency in history, but unfortunately the buying power of the dollar is eroding.

In contrast, a gold coin today, will generally buy as much in goods and services as it did the day it was minted.

Also, the world wide annual supply of gold above ground is around 3500 tons, while demand for gold is expected to be over 5,000 tons. And, as China and India embrace aspects of 21st century life styles, this deficit will continue to expand. Simply put, the price of gold coins must rise significantly.
