FOREIGN GOLD

Foreign gold coins contain precious metals that generally move up and down with the spot price of the precious metals but also contain additional value above their precious metal content. There is a premium for these coins based upon such factors as demand. Semi-numismatic products currently do not require a SSN upon liquidation.  Additionally, these coins are potentially exempt from future confiscation if the government follows the precedent set by President Roosevelt’s 1933 Executive Order. The 1933 Executive Order, which barred private ownership of gold until its rescission in 1974, allowed Americans to continue to own gold coins which had special value to collectors.
