Most gold dealer’s websites list excellent reasons for owning gold, such as diversification, protection against currency devaluation, and profiting from capital gains. Many of these companies, however, are more interested in profiting from selling you a “product” than in giving you the critically important information you need to make an informed decision. Mint State Gold wants you to have these vital facts before you make your first gold investment . . . .

Most Americans want to retire with a secure nest egg (IRA) full of conservative investments with a track record of appreciation. Precious metals (Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium) have historically appreciated faster than traditional investments including Savings Accounts, CD’s, Bonds, Mutual Funds, the Stock Market, and Real Estate just to name a few. That said, there is an easy way to take your existing retirement account and invest it in Precious Metals with a Self-Direct Precious Metals IRA . . . .

Selecting the right gold product is very easy. That decision is primarily based on two factors:

• Timeframe
• Purpose for investing

Timeframes and investment criteria can vary from one individual to another. Ask yourself the following questions to determine which option gives you the most ‘YES’ answers. Then, scroll down to view the gold product recommendations for that option.

Since ancient times, no other substance on earth has been so desired, fought over, revered or mythologized as Gold. Gold has long been equated with power and beauty in virtually every culture. Gold has been written about in the biblical Book of Genesis and by Greek sage and poet Homer who warned of its allure. It is, perhaps, the only metal universally accepted as a form of wealth, long before the first coins were ever minted. 

Mythological tales have been passed down from generation to generation surrounding Gold. Greedy King Midas was cursed with the Golden Touch and everything he touched was turned to Gold, including his beloved daughter. Jason and the Argonauts searched for the fabled Golden Fleece against Herculean odds, a mythological tale rooted in reality. Ancient miners used a sheep’s fleece as a type of sieve to capture the tiny, but heavy, flakes of Gold found in water. After the fleece dried, it was gently shaken and the Gold flakes were collected. This method was even practiced by some miners in the California Gold Rush of 1849.
