INCREASED COIN SALES COULD SUPPORT GOLD

January 30, 2012

The price of gold was essentially flat trading at $1729.00 per ounce at 7:20 a.m. Pacific Time on the New York Spot Market with silver lower at $33.50 per ounce.

Investors concerned over Europe pushed the euro lower as Greece and its creditors failed to agree on terms of a debt agreement prior to a key summit in Europe. EU leaders are expected to agree on a balanced budget rule as they sign off on a permanent rescue fund for the euro zone on Monday. Greece’s Prime Minister appealed to Greek party leaders on Sunday for the unpopular budgetary reforms that could be necessary to save the embattled country.

Despite the uncertainty in Europe, high demand among coin investors may lead the precious metals markets to fresh highs. Coin sales are often an early indicator of increasing interest in precious metals and a possible rally for gold, said Nick Moore, the head of commodity strategy at the Royal Bank of Scotland.

"It looks like the retail buyers have it right, taking advantage of gold's fall from its peak. People have a general feeling of being caught out, and I would expect to see a lot more interest from the professional end of the market as a result," Moore said. Retail investors "have seen the good value gold is offering."

You should review Goldine's Account Agreement along with our risk disclosure booklet, Coin Facts for Investors and Collectors to Consider ®, prior to making your purchase. Goldline has a spread or price difference between our selling price, called the "ask", and our buy-back price, called the "bid". That spread varies depending on coin or bar you acquire. Spreads on 1 oz bullion coins, 90% silver dimes and quarters, and one ounce and larger bullion bars are 13%. All other coins have a spread of 28%. There is also a 1% liquidation fee when you sell your coins back to Goldline. The market must go up enough to overcome this spread before an actual profit is achieved. Precious metals and rare coins can increase or decrease in value. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Coins are a long-term, three- to five-year, preferably five- to ten-year investment. We believe precious metals are suitable for 5% to 20% of the average investment portfolio though others may recommend a different percentage.
