CONSIDER THE NUMISMATIC ADVANTAGE
A Checklist of Differences
1. Profitability
While gold bullion has had an impressive record of profitability since the mid-70's, there really is no comparison with investment rare coins. An $1000 basket of gold mint state rare numismatic coins -- from 1970 to today -- is now worth a stunning $57,977. (Based on the CU Guide at PCGS.com) 
2. Privacy
With some forms of gold bullion, a 1099 form must be completed. Not so in the case of rare investment coins where there are no reporting requirements whatsoever whether you buy or sell. You'll enjoy a degree of privacy simply unsurpassed by any other investment.
3. Confiscation
Because gold is the “asset of last resort” it could again be subject to government confiscation as it once was in 1933. With the stroke of a pen the government has the ability to confiscate your gold bullion.
