Early date gold coins offer an investor far more than just a rare coin. Early date gold is a true part of U.S. history and very much, early American art. These early coins were minted using a hand press and offer the investor an area of coins that is undisputedly in one of the  highest demand sectors of all coins. This demand is very important when looking for a coin to increase in value. It also makes selling your investment very easy. As everyone desires this area of the coin market and why not, some of these pieces are more than 200 years old! They are the very definition of “rare coin” by their nature. You do not have to be a coin expert to figure out that people will want one the first gold coins ever made as legal tender. This category of coins has shown the best investment results time and time again without fail. The only draw back is cost. These coins are not available in the lower price ranges like later date gold pieces. This initial investment amount is well worth it however.  If you want a rare coin that has rarity built in and has consistent demand, there is really nothing better. What I mean by “built in” rarity is this. You can purchase any coin in an early type and it will offer you true rarity simply due to the fact that there are so few total coins for the entire type, or coin design, to choose from. All dates for theearly date types become rare simply due to the lack of total coins found. Here is an example to clear that up. $5 Draped Bust Large Eagle is the name of a design of coin that was minted from 1795 to 1807. Using the population reports that tell me how many coins for this type have been graded, you find that the entire design has only seen approximately 2500 coins. This includes all grades and all dates for the type!!!! What this means is that any date you buy in this early type is rare by virtue of the over all rarity for the type or design itself. There are simply very few choices and with such high demand, all dates in these early types tend to go up in value very consistently. Also, by taking out some of the really super rare dates for the type, it further narrows down our true available choices. Leaving only 7 dates available to purchase that won’t require you to take a second mortgage on your home. The safety that these early gold types offer is what drew me to them in the first place. They are just so simple to understand and so popular, but unfortunately very hard to acquire. I am never concerned that this area will not do well! The pictured coin has a population of 315 total coins found in all grades for the date, only 14 coins found in MS61, and only about 50 found finer. The entire type has only about 2500 total coins ever found! To put this in perspective, lets look at the $5 1908 Indian. This design has a total population for the type of 60,615, with the population of the 1908 date, in MS65 condition of over 160 coins for that grade alone. In MS65, this coin sells for about $29,000.00. The 1803/2 is in a much rarer type with only 2500 total coins found. By comparison the total population of the entire Draped Bust Large Eagle design has seen, in MS65 condition, only 7 coins. (this is for all dates from 1795 to 1807). In fact, in MS61 grade (Like the coin pictured) there are only 146 total coins ever found in all dates, from 1795 to 1807. For an investor who has some coins but is looking to get the most out of their coin investment, the addition of an early date rarity will be the deciding factor as to how the set is perceived an thus bid on.
