On the 29th September 2008, Wall Street went into a tailspin, recording the biggest recorded drop in it’s history (up to that point anyway!) and wiping a reported 1.3 trillion dollars off the boards. If you had shares then and still have them, then your wealth is considerably less today than it was at the close of business on Friday 26th September 2008, and probably will remain so for years to come! Gold on the other hand, stood firm and has continued to do so while the world wallows in recession. It’s times like these when gold proves it’s worth as an investment and wealth preservation vehicle!And as one news report stated – as countries print money to try to get out of the mess, the value of currencies is eroded. However, the maker of gold isn’t making any more of it!

One of the easiest ways of investing in gold is to buy gold coins. Gold coin prices fluctuate along with gold coin values which depend on a combination of factors including the gold coin “brand” (e.g. Kruger rand, American Eagle etc), the purity of the gold used to make the coin, and the actual weight of the coin – in other words the amount of gold used in making the coin.In some instances, the rarity factor will also add to the value of a gold coin.
