One of the most beautiful US gold coins on the market right now is the ultra-high relief Double Gold Eagle by St. Gaudens. This particular coin design has often been revered as one of the most beautiful on the market, and St. Gaudens’ graceful sculpture is as lovely today as it ever was. Here’s a bit of interesting history behind this gorgeous piece of American history and some information on where you might be able to find it.

When St. Gaudens first created the Liberty Walking design for the Gold Eagle coin, he intended for the design to be pressed into high relief in the coins. Basically, when a coin is minted, two carved mallets are smashed into a round piece of metal. To make a high relief coin, you have to have a thicker piece of metal and a specially designed relief mold. Plus, you’ll probably stamp the coin more than once to ensure that it takes up as much details as possible from the mold.

Buying gold bullion – or bullion of any other precious metal, for that matter – is a great way to invest your money into something stable and secure. You can build a solid basis for your investment portfolio by investing in bullion. One of the main problems with this process, though, is that you have to actually keep your investment secure, since you’re investing in something physical and inherently valuable. There are several different ways to keep your bullion secure, though, so here are some ideas.

One of the best and simplest ways to keep your bullion secure is to actually leave it in a precious metals vault. If you need to, check out the vault’s specifications to see what it does to keep your precious metals secure. With this approach, you have to pay a monthly or yearly fee for maintenance and security, but you won’t have to worry about these things in your own home.

How much is gold worth in America?  That’s the beauty of gold—it’s an international commodity.  It retains value all over the world.  In fact, the conversion of gold to the American dollar is not decided upon by the American government.  (America actually stopped the official gold conversion in the 1970s.)  What should you know about the price of gold?

Currently the price of gold is about $1,200 per troy ounce.  This is 75 times greater than the value of silver and most other precious metals.  The only exception to this rule is platinum.  However, gold is unique among the other metals in a financial sense; it actually increases in value during a recession while other metals (which are largely used for industrial use) decrease.
