Introduction to Rare U.S. Coins

Rare coins are breaking record after record at auctions. ASI and Douglas Winter, the world’s leading expert in pre-1933 U.S. rare gold coins, have some of the most astute clients in the world. Rare U.S. gold coins are the next step to achieving the same benefits of portability, privacy, market performance and currency protection as precious metals. Rare coins are an asset class not correlated to other mainstream, traditional assets and therefore largely unaffected by volatility and downturns in other markets.

Rare coins have been collected and used as a store of wealth for centuries. Nobody can go back to Philadelphia in 1915 to strike more $10 Indian Head coins, or return to New Orleans in 1843 to strike new $2.5 Quarter Eagles. These rare collectibles are a commodity like few others, and there is a limited supply available. Rare coin prices are determined by what is sold around the world and rises as investors and collectors pay more for theses increasingly rare items.
