Gold, Silver & Platinum Bullion Coins Provide Meaningful Holiday Gifts
ADDISON, TEXAS (Dec. 9, 2014)—Consumers looking for original or memorable gift ideas should consider buying precious metals coins for family members this year, suggests Dallas-based Dillon Gage Metals. The holiday season is one of the most popular times to purchase such items.
Many coins from various countries are true works of art with intricate engraving, holograms and even embedded Swarovski crystals—all representing a deep historical perspective of the individual nation. In some cases, these beautiful coins can also be used to create nest eggs for the gift recipients, due to their precious metal value.
In the spirit of the holiday season, Dillon Gage Metals, an international precious metals wholesaler, has provided seven helpful tips and trends for gifting coins:
1. An unexpected drop in gold and silver prices late in 2014 has made individual coins and collector sets a more reasonably priced gift choice.

2. There are many options as to where to buy coins and collector sets, depending on the product and availability. In some cases, gift givers can buy directly from well-known sovereign mints such as the U.S. Mint or Royal Canadian Mint. Another option is to buy from a reputable precious metals dealer. Whatever your decision, be certain to do your homework before making any purchase.

3. Prices vary widely. Silver coins are most often produced in one-ounce sizes, while gold and platinum coins can be purchased from 1/10 ounce up to one-ounce varieties. This offers plenty of flexibility for buyers regardless of the precious metal selected.

4. Gold and silver coins depicting almost any interest can be found including sports categories, historical events/achievements, places, historical figures, commemorative events and even beautifully stamped scenes of nature.

5. Don’t underestimate silver. It’s a reasonably priced and beautiful precious metal. Because its price is substantially less than gold, consider larger quantities or multi-coin collection sets.

6. Hot items 2014: Three popular Royal Canadian Mint products include colorized coin sets (such as an entire Canadian NHL Series), Superman™ and MapleGram.

7. Gold and silver coins are a popular grandparents-to-grandchildren gift presentation, as many in the elder generation see this gesture as an intrinsic investment for their younger family members, perhaps sparking future interest in collecting, investing and numismatics.
Be inspired to start or continue a tradition of gifting coins, adding to the excitement of the holidays.
