Gold, An Ancient Form of Investment
By Josh White
Gold�s value dates back to ancient times. Gold has a history of fascination, obsession and even tall tales. Gold has shaped human history through its assigned value dating as far back as the Egyptians. Even today gold is still considered a standard for monetary exchange in many countries.
Gold still has a sense of mystery. But to find gold, it isn�t necessary to scavenge the bottom of the ocean or �head west�. Although there is gold found in �them there hills�, the easier way to invest in gold is by buying it. There are different formats you can choose from to invest in gold. You may choose one or all of them � and remember all gold investment, like any investment is a risk.
So what are your choices?
1.Gold bars or gold coins: Do you like holding your own gold? Buying gold bars is cost effective and a specialist or gold dealer will give you a good purchase price for a bar. In some countries you can easily buy gold bars over the counter and they come in 12.5 kg or 1kg size.
Coins are also a popular way to invest in gold as they are easy to buy and sell. Gold bullion coins are priced according to their weight. The most popular bullion gold coins are the South African Krugerrand, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, the American Gold Eagle and American Gold Buffalo. Each of these coins are exactly one troy ounce each. BullionDirect.com�s Nucleo Exchange makes it easy to buy and sell gold and night. The exchange handles the entire transaction process including the trading, authentication, storage, insurance, order fulfillment and distribution of products.
2.Gold Certificates: A certificate of ownership can be held by gold investors. Having a certificate allows you to buy and sell gold securities without having to store the actual gold.
3.Accounts: Gold accounts or statements are obligations of the issuing institute to deliver upon demand a stated quantity of gold. Gold accounts are typically backed through unallocated allocated gold storage. Different accounts have varying levels of intermediation between the client and their gold.
4.Gold Stocks: Gold exchange-traded funds or GETF�s are traded like shares. A small commission is charged for trading gold stock. The upside is gold stock represents a way to avoid the sales tax that would apply to physical gold coins or bars.
5.Gold Mining Shares: Here you aren�t investing in the gold directly but in the mining companies searching for the gold. The appreciation potential of a gold share is depending upon the future price of gold. Do your homework though; many mining firms sell their future production years in advance. With gold mutual funds your risk is more diversified. Some funds offer a broad mix of international mining stock.

Preserve gold bars and bullion coins in the original mint packaging. Since it is soft, mint-fresh gold is easily subject to scratches from rough surfaces. Careful handling and preserving can go a long way in getting the best price during a resale.

The hobby of collecting old paper money is still much less widespread than stamp and coin collecting, although interest is growing every year. Many stamp and coin collectors are now considering banknotes as the promising new collecting frontier. The hobby holds many of the same pleasures as stamp and coin collecting: One gets the same thrill at finding that elusive item to fill a gap in a series or a set. There is the same reverence one feels for owning something that has been preserved in perfect condition for a hundred years. There is the same satisfaction of travelling to a collector's fair to hunt down bargains and meet fellow enthusiasts and develop one's knowledge.

The Kangaroo gold coin was first produced in 1986. The Australian Gold Nugget/Kangaroo coin is one of the most popular coins created by the Perth Mint in Western Australia. Perhaps the most diverse of any nation's bullion coinage, the Gold Australian Nugget/Kangaroo is minted in eight different sizes from 1/20th of an ounce all the way up to 1-kilogram. The design on the reverse originally depicted natural Australian gold nuggets (example right), with different designs for various sizes. The design theme changed in 1989 to feature the most recognizable animal in Australia, the kangaroo (example above). For this reason, the coin is referred to both as an Australian Nugget and Kangaroo.

Although at a quick look, gold bars may often seem the cheapest way to invest in physical gold, experts point out that there are some drawbacks. Often the price for a single one ounce bar is the same as for a single one ounce krugerrand.
