In 1933 President Roosevelt issued an executive order to confiscate private gold collections to help stabilize an American economy in decline. The majority of these gold coins were melted down, however many minted denominations escaped the melting process and have been a collectors items ever since. You can find these coins here at BGS Bullion in Quarter Eagle, Half Eagle, Eagle and Double Eagle denominiations.

Investors looking to diversify their bullion portfolios should seek pre 1933 US gold coins not only for their gold market value, but also for their scarcity and historical significance. Not every piece of precious metal comes with a rich history. Pre 1933 coins are a great addition to new and existing bullion collections no matter how small.
