Many investment experts believe that adding precious metals to your portfolio may improve its performance. That's because the forces that determine metal's price usually differ from, and in many cases counter, the forces that determine the price of many financial assets. Investment advisors often suggest that this relationship may help to reduce portfolio volatility. American Eagle Bullion Coins are the easy, convenient and affordable way to add precious metals to your portfolio.

Historically, silver has been the most affordable precious metal. Gold offers the same diversification attributes, but is available in four denominations of higher value. The diverse values act as building blocks for precious metals investment. They increase your portfolio's diversity by bringing balance, because their value often moves independently of stocks and bonds. In this fast-paced world of electronic investing, American Eagles are tangible investments whose beauty and artistry you can literally hold in the palm of your hand.

One measure of an investment is liquidity: how easily can it be converted to cash? American Eagles, with their unique U.S. Government backing, can be sold for cash at most coin and precious metals dealers worldwide. They're also legal tender. Their face value is largely symbolic, because precious metal's market price - which is reported in the market pages and web sites of major news outlets - has historically been higher.

Buying American Eagles from PFG is easy. We sell at the market's prevailing market price, plus a small premium to cover coinage and distribution costs. Because silver is typically the lowest-priced precious metal, Silver Eagles are affordable for nearly every investor. As an alternative, Gold Eagles are available in four convenient denominations of higher value.

American Eagle Bullion Coins are America's only official investment-grade bullion coins. They're the world's only bullion coins whose weight, content and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government. So like the dollar, American Eagles are welcome in major investment markets worldwide. You can even include them in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

Bullion is available in 32.3, 100, and 400 oz ingots. Bulk sales upon request. Coins are 1/10th through 1 oz in all international denominations. Delivery is available anywhere in the world through an insured delivery system. Payment options are all forms of credit cards and bank wires.
