There are various forms of gold and silver, but the first thing to know is that YOU WANT BULLION, not numismatic/collectible coins that are hyped on radio and TV. With bullion, you pay the smallest mark-up over the current value of the gold/silver content. In short, you get more metal for your money. The commonly-promoted numismatic/collectible coins on radio/TV easily carry premiums of 30% to 50% and sometimes two to three times the value of the gold/silver content. Gold bullion comes in two forms: bullion coins and bullion bars. GOLD 1-oz. American Gold Eagle bullion coins Gold bullion coins are produced by various government mints, including the U.S. Mint, the Royal Canadian Mint, Australia’s Perth Mint and the Austrian Mint. 1-oz. Canadian Gold Maple Leaf 1-oz. American Gold Eagles are the world’s most popular gold bullion coins; they also come in ½-oz., ¼-oz. and 1/10-oz. coins. Because Gold Eagles are alloyed coins, 91.67% pure (22-karat), they weigh slightly more than their stamped weights. Be assured that a 1-oz. Gold Eagle contains one ounce of gold, and a ½-oz.

  • Wealth Insurance,” Because Physical Gold and Silver Create Stability in Your Portfolio
    WEALTH INSURANCE Protect Portfolios with Precious Metal National Gold Consultants Global Financial NetworX, LLC (800) 674-3145 360 Bloomfield Avenue Suite 301 Windsor, CT 06095 https://globalfinancialnetworx.com [email protected] Introduction National Gold Consultants (NGC) is committed to creating portfolio resiliency in a precarious economy. We are financial-advisor focused because we understand the tremendous responsibility of asset management. NGC assists advisors in fulfilling their fiduciary duty and believe tangible, precious metals have a place in every portfolio. Above all, we believe responsibility, integrity and knowledge are paramount when placing clients' wealth in gold and silver. Wealth management always comes down to clients. Precious metals belong in every portfolio, but navigating gold and silver purchasing without guidance is dangerous. Whether you are investing your IRA or non-qualified Funds, NGC assists you in creating resiliency in your investments. NGC has created gold and silver investment models designed to protect your wealth in all economic seasons. NGC branded the term “wealth insurance,” because physical gold and silver create stability in your portfolio. For the most effective “insurance,” NGC recommends allocating 10% of your portfolio into our non-qualified Pre-1933 gold and silver models that you would physically possess. This model ensures the best privacy, performance and ease of liquidity. When Non-Qualified funds are unavailable, we help clients supplement with our qualified gold and silver models. These offer less privacy and performance, but still maintain portfolio protection as well as easy liquidity. In this packet you will find four pages dedicated to greater explanation of each model specific to gold and silver.
