What you should do to make sure that you get the greatest financial gains from the Mandela rare coins is to complete entire Mandela sets. You should then place these away as long term investments and benefit from the extraordinary financial growth that these coins have. The best way that you should accumulate sets of these coins is to try and compile sets of these coins in the highest grades that you can. The sets that have the highest grades will also have the highest rates of growth. Not only will these sets make you a great deal of money there are also other advantages that the sets will also give to you that few other investments can. The sets and the individual coins are valued in US dollars which gives you hedge against a future fall in the value of the rand should that happen. But the second most significant factor that makes these rare coins a must have for your investment portfolio is the fact that the profits that you make from these coins are totally tax free. That means that if you are fortunate enough to make a million rand profit from these coins then that is what you will place into your bank account with no deductions whatsoever. What a pleasure to have a totally tax free investment! Just the fact that these coins are tax free should be incentive enough to get you to place a meaningful amount of money into these coins as an investment. If you have krugerrands you should also consider swapping some of these into the Mandela rare coin sets. Krugerrands are also good investments but they do not ever give the high returns that can be gained from rare coins. The profits that you get from krugerrands are also taxable on their sale. Krugerrands are an excellent form of immediate cash as they can be sold straight away. However when held over a long term period they are never able to equal the investments that are made in rare coins. Gold is a more commonly available commodity and it is this reason that precludes gold from ever have the higher returns of rare coins which are very limited in number. Since the very beginning of coin collecting people have always compiled complete sets of related coins. Today all well educated investors and collectors still do the same. The main reason for the compiling of sets is that all coins actually belong to a group or set that can be interrelated to a time period, leader or other similar factor. When a complete set is compiled it is always worth more than an individual coin or an incomplete set of the same coins. The collecting of coins was initially seen as a way to preserve the history of the past. Today as well as preserving history and providing collectors with an avenue to spend time, rare coins have become a multi billion investment sector providing some of the most attractive investment returns in the world. We expect that the market capitalization of all of the Mandela rare coins to increase to over one billon rand in the future. What this means that as more and more investors and collectors globally start to compile these sets their values will just go higher and higher with time. If you have already bought the individual Mandela proof or uncirculated rare coins then what you should do is to start to build sets around the coins that you have. The greater the number of sets that you are able to form the better the overall growth that you will get from the coins. The finest known of these sets are going to sell for millions and millions of rands in the future. They will also most certainly sell for in excess of one million US dollars in the future. A select few will be lucky enough to have the very finest sets. However the benefits of these coins appreciation will be felt by all investors and collectors that participate in the market. Whether you have the finest known set or one of the most common sets everyone should see stellar financial returns. |
