OUR
PHILOSOPHY
Buying rare coins can be a rich and rewarding
endeavor . We strive to select only quality coins with outstanding eye
appeal for our customers. Since not every coin is truly rare, we select
coins with a fundamental reason to rise in value based upon supply and demand
factors. Every client may be assured of the highest level of integrity.
Our company attempts to immediately instill in each client a Master Plan:
that he or she is a single, but important "depository" for the immensely
valuable coins of the future. That a collector who paid $20.00 for a rare U.S.
Silver Dollar in 1970, and $1,500.00 in 1990, will be desperate to obtain that
coin in the next decade at $5,000. The Source, the "depository" will be our
investors: YOU!
Let us mention that integrity and commitment can be
just words. They must be defined by the demonstrable actions of the company who
claims them. We have worked with thousands of individuals like
yourself since 1989, placing over $100,000,000 dollars in of valuable
rare coins in the hands of avid collectors and sophisticated
investors. Let Park Avenue Numismatics show you a level of
professionalism that is unequalled in rare coin industry.
Invest Your Money
- In Money
Park Avenue Numismatics believes that the right coins held for
investment over the long term can be financially rewarding. Planning for
the future requires serious insight and stern resolve. Investors can no longer
be certain that the stock market and other traditional forms of investment will
offer the safety and security of the past. No investor can guarantee
today how many dollars will be required in the future to "live well."
Most investors have not made plans to survive a possible rupture of the
American paper money system, global economic system, or a potential disruption
of the present bank and finance system.
Many investors have all their
assets tied to the present paper money system. They have no "hard asset"
investments. It is Park Avenue Numismatics' opinion that rare coin investing,
as a hard asset, should be one of the basic cornerstones of any
portfolio.
Investors should plan to hold a prudent reserve (3 to 6
months of present income is a minimum) outside the paper money system. Park
Avenue Numismatics believes that rare coins are the superior hard asset choice
because of their features of portability, privacy, liquidity, profit record,
world desirability, and their absolute trustworthiness in time of economic
stress.
Park Avenue Numismatics was founded to assist
individuals from all walks of life to purchase rare coins safely and
easily. We sincerely want to demonstrate this to you. Park Avenue
Numismatics will deliver. . . quality rare coins; the information to back up
our choices; and the deep commitment we have demonstrated to total, absolute
customer satisfaction.
If you are considering various investments
based on appreciation alone, you'd probably buy rare coins just based on long
term past performance. The results have been unequalled. But rare coins offer
other advantages, many of which cannot be matched by other investment vehicles.
"The U.S. rare coin market offers outstanding growth potential in the
future"
Safety and Stability . . .
The Collectors Base Underpins the
Market. Rare coins don't have dramatic sudden price movements like
stocks, gold and other commodities. That's partly because of the huge collector
base underpinning the coin market. There's an estimated 35,000,000+ coin
collectors/investors who buy sell and trade coins regularly. In the 1950's,
there were an estimated 1,000,000 coin collectors. New collectors enter the
market every day and many continue for a lifetime.
The collectors have
little thought to ever selling their holdings back into the market. They often
become part of large collections and are passed on to the next generation.
Collectors form a solid base and create steady, consistent demand for the coin
market. They seldom sell because their collection is their hobby, not their
investment. And, since the coins are fully paid for when you buy, and you take
physical possession, there are none of the destabilizing forces at work as
there are in other markets. There are no coin futures traded, no leverage
purchases, no short-term speculation or margin calls.
The Supply and Demand Equation
How it Works for
You. Of all the rare U.S. coins ever minted, it is estimated that about
2% still exist. And the existing supply is consistently being reduced as
collectors buy more, hold them longer, and withdraw them from the
market.
Contrast this to the supply situation of "traditional"
investments, where new issues of stocks or bonds are constantly coming to
market, or more gold deposits are discovered, or new real estate projects
developed.
With almost all investments, there is a steady stream of additional investment
product coming to market. And as demand increases, promoters create more
product to satisfy the increased demand, so demand never gets very far ahead of
supply. In this manner, there is no rarity factor to push prices up. With
coins, however, there will never be any more. So, as demand increases, prices
rise, since supply cannot.
The demand side of the equation is
also very positive for investors. By the year 2015, experts believe that there
will be some 100,000,000 coin collectors/investors, an increase of over triple
that of today's market buyers. Since there will be no more new coins available
for these new collectors, prices should rise dramatically to meet this
increased demand. As the demand increases and supply decreases, prices
rise-Economics 101!
Liquidity
The Surprising Facts.
Of all hard assets and collectible investments, coins are certainly one of the
most liquid. Since there are no new supplies of rare coins, all demand must be
supplied from collections owned by investors or collectors who decide to sell.
With over 35,000,000 buyers and sellers in the market, and annual estimated
sales of more than $5,000,000,000, there are abundant opportunities to
liquidate your coins when the time comes.
Investors should understand,
however, that though you can liquidate your rare coins surprisingly quick, they
are not meant to be speculative vehicles or short-term investments. They do not
have the instant liquidity of the stock market or bond market and investors
should look upon them as a medium to long-term investment, with a holding
period of 5 to 7 years or longer. Of course the longer one holds his
investment, the better the investment is likely to perform.
Gold Bullion vs.
Rare Coins. . .
What You Probably Didn't Know. Over the long term,
rare coins have consistently out-performed gold and silver bullion by
substantial margins. According to past survey's, the annual appreciation of
rare coins averaged nearly 25 percent over a 20 year period, while gold
averaged under 5 percent annually during the same period. As you can see, the
performance of coins more than tripled that of bullion in periods of declining
gold and silver markets, coins have done exceptionally well too, showing
a far more modest decline than bullion prices.
And don't forget what
happened in 1933. The Federal government banned private ownership of gold.
Taxpayers were required to turn in all gold coins to the government. With one
exception. Coins struck before 1933. And today, the President still has the
power to ban private ownership of bulk gold coins (such as Kruggerands or Maple
Leafs). But by law, private ownership of rare U.S. coins struck before 1933
cannot be prohibited.
Rare U.S. Coins
Simply the Best Long-Term
hard-asset Investment . No other investment vehicle performs better. The facts
speak for themselves. Surveys show that rare coins averaged a compounded annual
return rate of over 21% over the last 30 years. A $10,000 investment in select
U.S. rare coins 30 years ago would be worth over $100,000 today!! No other
investment vehicle has ever come close.
We are firmly convinced that
we a currently in the early stages of another medium to long term upward cycle
of rare coin prices. And, if the prediction of many economists are to be
believed, we maybe entering another bull market for coins in the next 12-18
months. Certainly, U.S. coins should be part of everyone's overall investment
portfolio .
Consider Privacy...
An investment in rare coins has
more benefits simply not available in conventional investments. There are no
reporting requirements to any federal, state, or local authorities when you
make a purchase. Your name or social security number does not appear on any
government computer as a result of your purchase or sale of a coin. (Purchasing
gold bullion or bulk silver coins require reporting to the IRS.)
Consider
Portability... Tens of thousands of dollars in coins could fit into a small
box. Since coins are in bearer form, they can be transferred quickly and
confidentially. . . .
Consider Simplicity...
Coins are
a management-free investment. No daily buy/sell decision. No complex forms to
fill out, or monthly statements to decipher. No need to worry about interest
rates, GNP, balance of trade deficit, and hundreds of other economic problems.
The long term trend of coins is up.
Here's
one basic decision - whether or not to invest in coins. Once
you've made that decision, the coin market will take care of the rest.
