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 are 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.
