Thanks to the internet, buying gold coins either as investment or collectible coins has never been easier. You can find great coin deals at KrugerrandGoldCoins.com with gold prices below what is offered at retail stores specializing in selling gold bullions and gold coins. If you save 5-10% at KrugerrandGoldCoins.com, it means you are getting one free gold coin with every 10 coins purchased. Talking about smart investing…

But you also want to have a pleasant and save experience with your online purchase. Read the tips below and you would never have to worry about your gold coin purchase again.
1. Always look at feedback number, higher number means more confidence in a seller. You can find this number after the seller name in parentheses.

2. Look at feedback positive % as well. Seller might have large feedback number (meaning a lot of items sold), but if feedback percentage is 67% - you might step into issues with seller. A good rule of thumb is feedback percentage should be 90% or higher.

3. Buy from Power Sellers. They are well established and care about their reputation and customers.

4. If you decided to buy not from Power Seller or a seller with feedback number higher than 200, you have to check latest items sold (are they related to gold coins?) and the length of his membership. Looking for a seller who has been around for a while.

5. Try to find gold coin auctions with “No reserve price”. In this case you know you do not have to bid up to “reasonable” price on the coin, and actually may land a very good deal on a gold coin.

6. Look through auction listing and find Return policy. You want to make sure seller gives you 7 to 10 day to evaluate coin and decide if the coin was advertised correctly. I had few times a bad experience with coins when seller advertised coin as MS-65, where it is really MS-60.

Follow these tips and you will have a pleasant experience with buying gold coins online at KrugerrandGoldCoins.com.

Gold coin collectors everywhere are celebrating the soaring gold prices that have been seen in recent times. Coins and collections that were once valuable are now very valuable. For 2008-2009, gold coin collecting will remain strong.

Proof gold coins are expected to be strong performers through 2009, as are rare date and early gold. With rare date and early gold coins, the better they look, the higher their value. Proof gold coins are rare by definition and those in F.D.C. (fleur de coin) condition are going to have the highest value.

The Saint Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin is still one of the most beautiful, popular and sought after gold coins on the market, and will remain so for a long time. Saint Gaudens proof coins, and those with no motto (without In God We Trust) on them are more rare and therefore more highly valued.

Newly minted 24-kt Jackson’s Liberty First Spouse gold coins, both proof and uncirculated are going to be strong for the coming months. Other gold coins that are remaining high in popularity are the $10 Liberty and the $5 Liberty, the $5 Liberty Half-Eagle (with or without motto), the Commemorative US gold coins – 1988 Olympic (uncirculated) and 1986 Statue of Liberty, British Sovereign gold coin – King Edward 1902-1910, Canadian Maple Leaf, and the Australian Lunar gold coins – 2005 1 oz Gold Rooster and 2004 1-oz. Gold Monkey.
