Iraq Gold Investing And Iraqi Coins

Besides those who are looking to invest in Iraqi dinars, there are those investors and collectors who are looking to either collect Iraqi Gold and Iraq coins or invest in them if they can be found. Because of the recent price increase of gold and gold bullion to record levels of over $1,200 an ounce, any gold, whether it be from Iraq or any other country, seems to be a good investment.

However, after scouring eBay and other sources, there seems to be little Iraq gold available anywhere. Maybe that's due to the fact that it is extremely hard to get it out of the country because Iraq itself obviously needs the gold or maybe there are other factors I'm not aware of.

As far as old Iraqi coins or even modern Iraq coins, they are equally hard to find. There are a few Iraq 25, 50 and 250 FILS coins available, but they are in quite limited quantities. At the present time of this posting there are only 45 listings for Iraqi coins that include silver dinars, 25 FILS Palm Tree coins, and a few coins left over from the era of Saddam Hussein.

Gold Coin Investing

If you are interested in buying Iraq gold maybe you should consider buying other gold coins since they are in a much bigger supply. There are many thousands of US gold coins available on eBay, from local dealer shows and from many different websites in the net. One of he more popular investment coins that people like is the St Gaudens $20 Double Eagle minted from 1907 to 1933. These cons contain one ounce of high quality gold plus they have a numismatic value above that of the price of gold. Some rarer specimens bring exceedingly high prices fr enough above the current gold price that it is not even a factor in their value.

You can also find gold bullion examples such as the Gold Krugerrand from South Africa that are much more in line with the current value of gold. They are a great investment for those that want something which closely follows the current markets. And since they are so popular, they are easy to sell when you are ready to cash your in.
