Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. xi, 212 p. : chiefly col. ill. ; 28 cm. ; ICBN 9780794839734, 0794839738 OCLC 865791648 ; LCCN 2012376251 ; LC CJ1834 .M69 2014 ; Dewey 737.4973/075 ; pictorial brown boards ; no dustjacket ; To create this book, Moy has drawn on a lifetime of interest in coins and precious metals, leading up to his 2006 confirmation as director of the U.S. Mint. Under his tenure, demand for American gold bullion coins multiplied more than fivefold, from less than 330,000 ounces in 2007 to 1,800,000-plus ounces in 2009, and counting. The U.S. Mint went from a major producer to the world's largest producer of gold, silver, and platinum coins, with bullion coins accounting for the majority of the Mint's revenues. ; "OCG collecting guide"--T.p. verso ; Designed to appeal to investors who believe in precious metals hoarding as well as coin collectors and dealers, this book deals exclusively with US gold and platinum bullion coins and is written by the former director of the US Mint. The book looks at the aesthetic aspects of coin collecting, such as the artistic and historical designs of coins. It also looks at the history of US gold and platinum bullion programs, and investing in precious metals through owning US bullion coins. The book's design mimics popular Time-Life educational books, with photographs and sidebars. A long chapter looks year-by-year at the cash value of gold and platinum Eagle coins. The frontispiece is a glossy color portrait of Ronald Reagan. ; Edmund C. Moy, retired director of the United States Mint. Since 1986 the hugely popular .9167 fine American Gold Eagle bullion coins have been collected by numismatists, stockpiled by investors large and small, and treasured by gold buyers throughout the United States and around the world. American Platinum Eagles were added to the Mint's bullion offerings in 1997, and today are a best-selling way to add .9995 fine platinum to investment portfolios, in addition to being collectible themselves. Now, no less an expert than Edmund Moy-director of the U.S. Mint from 2006 to 2011-shares his unique insight and perspective on these beautiful pieces of Americana. To create this book, Moy has drawn on his experience directing the Mint during a turbulent period of unprecedented growth, when silver, gold, and platinum bullion sales skyrocketed during the Crash of 2008 and the Great Recession. He takes the reader behind the scenes at the U.S. Treasury Department and into the back rooms and offices of the U.S. Mint. He lays out the history of America's gold and platinum bullion programs; explores the foundations and nuances of investing in precious metals; and shares his insight on fascinating topics like the Langbord family's 1933 double eagles, the recently proposed $1 trillion platinum coin, and the Mint's 2009 Ultra High Relief gold masterpieces. Edmund Moy brings together diverse elements-artistic as well as technical, some steeped in history and others inspired by the latest news headlines, appealing to investors as well as collectors-to make American Gold and Platinum Eagles a valuable addition to every American's bookshelf. "Just counting the one-ounce American Gold Eagles, collectors and investors have purchased more than 15 million coins since 1986," said Whitman publisher Dennis Tucker. "Add to that millions of the smaller fractional-ounce gold coins, and the Mint's Proofs and other collector formats, plus the platinum series with its historical designs. American Gold and Platinum Eagles is the world's first book-length study of these popular coins." ; Contents: Chapter 1: The Gold Rush of 2008. Meetings with Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson. The surge in bullion demand. Uncharted territory. The Mint's leap into high production -- Chapter 2: Bullion Coin Investing: The Basics. The different values of gold. 21st-century specie. Making the investment decision. Ways to hold precious metal. Allocated vs. unallocated holdings. Types of bullion coins. What is coin grading Etc ; FINE. Book.
