I have to say I'm very happy that I did. The first set I bought was my best purchase to date. The thing is with gold coins, if you buy a rare or collectible coin, it's value will increase more that the spot price of gold. My coin set has gone up in value about 115% Feb - Dec 2008. This was a luck because I got one of the last sets available. Even if the price didn't go up by that much I'd still have the gold content which I'd still be able to sell at the daily spot price. I like the coins and will buy more, but I need some more money invested in mutual funds as well. I need to diversify some more............ Hello

I started buying gold coins a few months ago after speaking to someone about buying gold. I have to say I’m very happy that I did. The first set I bought was my best purchase to date. The thing is with gold coins, if you buy a rare or collectible coin, it’s value will increase more that the spot price of gold. My coin set has gone up in value about 115% Feb – Dec 2008. This was a luck because I got one of the last sets available. Even if the price didn’t go up by that much I’d still have the gold content which I’d still be able to sell at the daily spot price.

I like the coins and will buy more, but I need some more money invested in mutual funds as well.

I need to diversify some more…………

One point to note is that e-gold is in a kind of legal limbo, and if one wanted the safe-haven attributes of gold it might not be the best choice as its future is uncertain. Also, you didnt mention gold certificates, the most popular of which is probably <a href="http://www.goldassets.co.uk/perth_mint_certificate_programme.php" rel="nofollow">the perth mint certificate programme</a>. This is a great way to get exposure to precious metals at a reasonable cost, since there is no storage costs (which is problematic for longer term investors), yet does not have the counterparty risks associated with ETFs (the recent stopping of trading of many AIG backed ETFs is a good example of this).

But if you were really bullish on gold, then trading gold CFDs would give you even more leveraged exposre to gold than buying gold stocks on margin. personally, I think that would be too risky I own some gold bullion and some shares in a couple of gold mining companies/diversified mining companies.
