Ever wonder why pirates are always searching for gold coins in movies? You might not be able to go into a store and buy something with gold coins, but that doesn't mean they aren't valuable. Here are some reasons why you should consider investing in gold coins:
- Gold offers financial security
- Gold doesn't corrode
- Gold can be passed down generations

While gold is usually admired for its beauty, it's worth much more than that. When the value of the U.S. dollar goes down, the value of gold goes up — between 1998 and 2008, the price of gold almost tripled due to inflation. What's worth more, gold doesn't corrode, so you can count on your gold coins to be around for a long time. Of course, because of these benefits, gold can be expensive.

If you're looking for a valuable investment that's not quite as costly as gold, silver coins meet the bill. In just the last year, silver has gone up by 70%, proving that silver is more than just "a poor man's gold." Perhaps you already knew this and invested in some gold and silver coins a while back, and now you're looking to sell them. Either way, you're going to need a reliable silver coin dealer dealer like the SLP Gold Silver team.

Gold and silver coins are valuable because of the metal they're made of. Numismatic coins, on the other hand, are valuable simply because they're collectible. Unlike bullion coins, numismatic coins aren't produced yearly — their rarity is what makes them special. Examples of numismatic coins include:
- Peace silver dollars
- $10 Eagle coins
- British Sovereigns

Do you have a historic, one-of-a-kind coin? Our team is always looking for rare coins to add to our collection! If you're a collector yourself, don't worry — we also offer numismatic coins for sale.
