It is believed that back in 550 BC King Croesus of Lydia (an area that is now part of Turkey) had the first gold coins struck. But even before his time gold was used in jewelry by the Egyptians dating back to 5000 BCE. Gold jewelry was worn by both men and women in the Sumer civilization around 3000 BCE and gold chains were first produced in the city of Ur in 2500 BCE.
In the recent past, gold was often implemented as part of a monetary policy within and between nations, but gold coins ceased to be minted as a circulating currency in the 1930s, and the world gold standard was abandoned for a fiat currency system after 1976. The historical value of gold was rooted in its relative rarity (only about 183,600 tonnes is in existence above ground), easy handling and minting, easy smelting and fabrication, resistance to corrosion and other chemical reactions (nobility), and distinctive color.
Of the new gold minted, 40% of it is used in the production of coins, bars and other tangible precious metal products.
“Gold bullion coins are among the world’s most versatile and liquid, legal tender. Minted only from gold in American mines, every American Gold Eagle minted since 1986 is guaranteed by the U.S. Government for its weight, content and purity. American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins are congressionally authorized and offer gold investors and collectors a convenient and cost-effective way to add physical gold coins to their investment portfolios.”
Equally important are certified gold coins, specifically the purchases of Certified Mint State American Gold Eagles.
Certified Coins by PCGS or NGC provide these benefits:

(1) All statements, opinions, pricing, and ideas herein are believed to be reliable, truthful and accurate to the best of First Fidelity Reserve's knowledge at this time. They are not guaranteed in any way by anybody and are subject to change over time. First Fidelity Reserve disclaims and is not liable for any claims or losses, which may be incurred by third parties while relying on information published herein. Individuals should not look at this publication as giving finance or investment advice or information for their individual suitability.
(2) All readers of Coin Market Advisory are advised to independently verify all representations made herein or by its representatives for your individual suitability before making your investment or collecting decisions.
(3) Coin collecting and investing are only meant for those who are personally and financially suited. First Fidelity Reserve does not recommend financing any purchase or spending more than you can afford to lose if your investment goes down in value. First Fidelity Reserve does not recommend customers pay a penalty for early withdrawal from any investment to purchase coins. Numismatic purchases are affected, in part, by economic and market conditions. While First Fidelity Reserve's competitive pricing, margins and market strategy approach the market with specific attention to the areas we recommend, we impress upon the customer to perform his or her own due diligence in deciding on the amount and type of their numismatic position and independently verify all representations.
(4) As with all investments, the value of the coins could go up or down. First Fidelity Reserve and its representatives do not offer any implied or assumed promises.
(5) First Fidelity Reserve considers coin collecting and investment to be a mid to long-term investment. As with all investments, past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Further, you understand the coin market is speculative and unregulated and you could lose money if you have to sell these coins in the short run, say a year or two. First Fidelity Reserve recommends a hold time of five to ten years or more. While offering no guarantee of growth in any time frame, First Fidelity Reserve wants the customer to understand that holding numismatic coins shorter than the recommended hold time could result in losses, while longer holding periods, such as 5-10 years or more increase the chances a coin's value can rise. First Fidelity Reserve strongly encourages you to view informational videos at FirstFidelityReserve.com including "Choosing the Right Dealer and Understanding Coin Pricing."
(6) Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee is: If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, you may return it in its original packaging within thirty (30) days of receipt for a full refund except on special orders or bullion orders. Specific exceptions to the thirty (30) day return privilege must be approved by management in writing.
(7) Other returns of numismatic items outside the thirty (30) day return privilege may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 20% or repurchase at First Fidelity Reserve's buy price at the time of return.
(8) Our policy is that payments for refunds on coins received and confirmed for liquidation will be processed in 10-15 business days unless specified otherwise by management in writing.
(9) Although many areas of numismatics lend themselves to third party grading and authentication, third party certification does not eliminate all risks associated with the grading of coins.
(10) Arbitration: First Fidelity Reserve strives to resolve customer complaint issues directly with customers in an expeditious manner. In the event an amicable resolution cannot be reached, you and First Fidelity Reserve agree to accept binding arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to transactions between you and First Fidelity Reserve shall be resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules in Jefferson County, Texas and judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. It is understood you and First Fidelity Reserve waive any right to a jury trial. YOU AND FIRST FIDELITY RESERVE agree THAT ALL CLAIMS SHALL be brought in the party's individual capacity and not as a class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
(11) In order to stay abreast of changing market conditions, YOU AUTHORIZE First Fidelity Reserve TO contact you from time to time by phone or TEXT regarding items of interest.
(12) All phone conversations between you and First Fidelity Reserve are recorded.

CST Monday through Friday and speak with a manager regarding any issues or complaints that you may have. The toll free 100% Customer Service Standard Hotline is 877-877-2256.
(15) Some experts recommend that in typical times, a diversified investor's portfolio contain a rare coin and precious metals component of 5% minimum to 25% maximum. Customers should not look at our written materials or our recommendations as giving personalized legal or investment advice.
(16) You understand pricing of coins may vary based upon quantity and quality of coins purchased, type of coins purchased and other factors. You understand payment terms may vary based upon dollar amount of transaction, type of coin purchased, advertised offers and other factors. You understand all advertised offers are subject to inventory limitations of advertised product. You understand delivery time may vary based upon payment methods used.
(17) Coin values are constantly changing and estimated verbal indications of value may vary due to multiple factors. The company cannot be responsible for any indications used for valuation and purchasing of customer coins unless its offer is in writing and confirmed according to the company's policies and procedures.
(18) You understand and acknowledge all transactions between you and First Fidelity Reserve are processed in Jefferson County, Texas.

default on payment or if you default on any other act required of you,
you agree that you have full responsibility to First Fidelity for any
Market Loss plus a $30 cancellation fee. You will also be fully responsible

subject to our Market Loss Policy plus a $30 cancellation fee. When
you speak to the manager regarding the cancellation, any market loss
will be calculated and added to the $30 cancellation fee. The cancellation
fee and any market loss will be charged to your credit card. Any market
gain on cancelled orders shall belong to the company.
30. When you choose to pay for an online purchase by using wire transfer,
we require a credit card on file to enforce our Market Loss Policy,
cancellation fee and to verify your identity.
31. Force Majeure. If First Fidelity is unable to perform any obligation
hereunder as a result of any event beyond its control, First Fidelity’s
delay or failure to perform such obligation shall be excused and First
Fidelity shall not be liable for any damages as a result of such delay
or failure to perform.

with First Fidelity, including, without limitation, the existence of
any disagreement or dispute and the existence and terms of any resolution
