Raw (uncertified) $5 Liberty gold coins in Almost Uncirculated (AU) condition Minted more than a century ago contain nearly a quarter-ounce of pure gold. Yet they trade for relatively small premiums over their underlying gold value, making them the perfect choice to capture privacy, performance and protection against confiscation. True scarcity, low prices Minted from 1866 to 1908, $5 Liberty coins (with motto) were produced by the millions but almost all were heavily used as currency or melted down during the gold confiscation of the 1930s. Precious few remain in AU condition. As these coins are not mass produced like the modern issue coins, during high peak periods the premiums can rise significantly. Although this can never be guaranteed historical this has been the case, they are exempt from broker reporting requirements. In our opinion, they're better than bullion for bulk gold buyers. PERFORMANCE..... These classic, scarce U.S. coins trade for relatively small premiums over their gold value today, making them an outstanding bargain for bulk gold buyers.
PROTECTION...... Relatively few exist in AU condition. This true scarcity can mean higher premiums during periods of increased demand.
PRIVACY...... Unlike most forms of gold bullion, they are exempt from broker reporting requirements.
