Privacy

An Investment Straight from the Days of “Mind Your Own Business”

Financial privacy used to be an American virtue. Now it's an American memory. Except in the case of premium coins. In a world of full financial disclosures, extensive reporting requirements, and constant monitoring, investment coins are a refreshing throwback to the days of individual privacy.

Gold American EagleRare U.S. coins and some bullion coins are one of the few remaining investments today that can be accumulated privately and confidentially. Their purchase does not require the disclosure of personal information such as name, address, and social security number. There are no 1099B forms or other items filed when you “Buy or Sell” your pre-1933 investment coins or some bullion coins. As such, they are the least visible form of wealth. By investing in them, you are not revealing a single thing to the world at large.

In contrast, banks and brokerages require the extensive disclosure of client information to governmental agencies. Today, it's even been proven that both brokerages and banks have been marketing the most intimate details about your account and mortgage — without any knowledge or consent of yours. Even those firms that pledge to protect your privacy sometimes fall victim to hackers and identity thieves.

Investment coins and some forms of bullion are absolutely free from this kind of intrusiveness, which is what makes them such a reassuring investment. You'll enjoy a degree of privacy simply unsurpassed by other investments.

Precious metals and coins may appreciate, depreciate, or stay the same depending on a variety of factors. Lear Capital, Inc. cannot guarantee, and makes no representation, that any metals purchased will appreciate at all or appreciate sufficiently to make customers a profit. Lear is a retail seller of precious metals and its buyback (or bid) prices are lower than its sell (or ask) prices. Metals must appreciate enough to account for this difference in order for customer to make a profit when liquidating the metals. Lear does not provide financial advice or retirement planning services. The decision to purchase or sell precious metals, and which precious metals to purchase or sell, are the customer’s decision alone, and purchases and sales should be made subject to the customer’s own research, prudence and judgment.
