How do you calculate for the value of an American Gold Eagle coin and How are the prices of Gold Bullion set?

Posted by admin as gold bullion

Same as the title. Thanks

Gold and silver are traded on the markets. So are platinum, palladium, copper, zinc, wheat, corn, and all kinds of commodities. The prices change constantly during trading hours as traders buy & sell these. It’s analogous to trading stocks on the stock markets, foreign exchange on the forex markets, etc. You can look up prices a lot of places, including Yahoo Finance, stockbrokerages, various gold trading outfits, etc. Most will have charts tracking prices over a period of time.

Gold coins typically sell for a premium over spot bullion, but again the prices are "set" by traders as they actively trade. When lots of people want Eagles, Kruggerands, etc, and supplies are tight, the premiums over spot bullion can increase sharply. Again, it’s like trading other commodities. When the world is short of wheat and people want to eat, the price can jump quite sharply. When there is a bumper crop, prices drop.

The Legacy Fund Launch - Providing Extremely Low Risk Investments and Consitant Double Digit Returns for 10-20-30 Years

Posted by admin as gold bullion

THE LEGACY FUND LAUNCH â?? Providing Extremely Low Risk Investments and Consistent Annual Double Digit returns in Excess of 20 â?? 30 Years!

Cabal Capital Management, LLC announces the launch of the Legacy Fund, a Special Opportunity Fund which provides special alternative investment opportunities into extremely low risk, and very high financial return Advanced High Income Generation Projects through direct investments.

This fund which is not a private equity fund and is Sharia-Compliant, is unlike all other investment pool funds, hedge funds, etc. that exist today by offering investments that are focused on both strategic and tactical investment opportunities into Highly Advanced Income Generating Project(s) producing crucial and vital, very high demand commercially valued product(s) that are being sold directly into the largest â??Majorâ? Consumer, Industrial and Governmental Universal Demand Markets in the world.  These investments allow risk adverse accredited investors the ability to participate in the revenues generated from these projects which allows for and achieves both capital growth and preservation, while providing the investor an extremely low risk opportunity with the benefit of dependable and sustainable alpha generation and the long term growth from these projects.  These fully integrated projects have been designed to last 40 to 50 years or longer (similar to their predecessors) for their life cycles regardless of the global financial and credit markets.

This fund is well positioned to effectively tap into these markets to the benefits of its investors.  The growth dynamics of the United States and Western Europe is based upon local, regional and domestic consumption of all the products these projects produce.  This fund is targeting routine and consistent annual double digit returns (15 â?? 21%) to investors un-correlated to all securities, commodities, currencies and the credit markets themselves since there will not be any exposure to these markets.  All project investments within this special investment vehicle have been specifically developed and designed to perform across various business cycles regardless of global economic conditions to include recessionary and depressionary environments as well.

Any tightening regulatory environment, the current global credit crisis, current stock market contractions and wild swings in the commodities markets does not and will not impact our ability to produce consistent annual double digit returns now or in the future for our investors since we will never have, need or rely on the credit markets to establish margin accounts or leveraged positions which most all hedge fund type investment vehicles require to operate.  We do not require nor will we ever utilize prime services which the large investment banks provide (Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, etc.). We do not rely on the stock, commodity or currency exchanges to generate income since we can not control any of the events occurring in those exchanges for our investors, thus we are totally un-correlated to all securities, commodities, currencies and credit markets. 

In the case of Deflationary and Inflationary Markets, they will have no real effect on these projects and the products they produce.  Coincidentally inflation will only increase the value of the products coming out of the projects. Deflationary markets will have very minimal impact on the products produced within these projects since these products are and always will be vital for any country to maintain a stable economy, thus they will always be in very high demand through out the world regardless of the global economic conditions. 

Risk issues are always addressed through risk management and the review procedures for each and every investment made.  Unlike most projects which have been developed, planned and master planned, every assumption for each project invested in has been tested, validated, verified and proven or itâ??s not incorporated into these project(s).  Each and every project is also backed up by a detailed Input / Output Financial Cash Model which is a detailed Program / Project Financial Blueprint that shows the quarterly inter-relationships of investments, operational production revenues, operational expenses at all levels, taxes, imposts and fees, special circumstances events, and financial obligations during the life of the Program / Project.

Since energy production and consumption is the key element to any industrialized country, and with energy consumption increasing globally at an annual rate of 5 â?? 6 %, energy is and always will be vital to both the U.S. and Western European Economies. Allocating to Energy and Bio-Fuels production are two major key areas of involvement and investments within our seven pronged program investment strategies approach, which consists of the following options available to us:  Energy:  Oil & Gas (Example Project to follow), Bio Fuels:  Algae Based Bio-Diesel and Jatropha Curcas {plant} direct fuel source.  Algae Based Bio-Diesel is a direct fuel source currently available and ready for full scale production and delivery {This is Direct Fuel Source and is not a blend for gasoline or other fuel sources!} Algae Based Bio-Diesel Fuel production utilizes proprietary photo enhanced, micro nutrient enhanced, continuous flow, automated, sensor quality controlled, bio-chemical industrial processes and then are pressed, centrifuged, oils separated from water, water treated, cooked, cracked and treated all within a 12 hour cycle (Start to Finish) to complete one batch made ready for use in any diesel engine.  Initially 270 Million Gallons per quarter to several Billion Gallons of bio-diesel per quarter will be produced depending upon the initial size of a project program.  This Algae Based Bio-Diesel Fuel source has a Cetane Rating of 105 -117 compared to 80 â?? 85 Cetane Rating for #1 diesel fuel currently produced by all the major oil companies, which provides more power, better millage and performance while emitting 60 â?? 70% less emissions across the board vs. normal standard crude oil based diesel fuels. This Algae Based Bio-Diesel product emits no sulfur and or nitrogen into the atmosphere, Alternative Energy:  Solar / Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Production, Wind and Electric Fuel Cell Systems, Natural Resources:  Gold, Platinum and other Precious Metals Groups and Diamond Mining: Refining, Assaying, Separation using advanced physical technologies and Bullion production of Gold and Platinum as well as Processing, Cutting, Valuation Appraisals of Diamonds and other Precious Stones, Water:  Proprietary Water Science / Technology to Produce Fresh Drinking Water to meet Agricultural, Industrial and Human Public Health needs in critically water short areas through Water production, bottling facilities and distribution.  This can be accomplished with any available water supply {in ground water tables, above and below ground reservoirs with a high saline content normally not recommended for human consumption}, Sea Waters & Brackish Waters anywhere Globally, Hydroponics:  Food Production: Fish Shrimp, Prawns, Fruits Vegetables utilizing USDA inspectors to garner Grade A Choice Status to include direct marketing into Major U.S.A. and International Consumer Demand Markets, and Special Opportunities: Aviation Fuels: JP-1 to JP-12 for Commercial and Military Applications from Algae Based Direct Fuel Sources as well as Advanced Hyper-Speed Information Technologies and other Advanced High Income Generation Project Opportunities as they become available.

It should be noted that traditional large project investments consist normally of only one income generation production element and typically requires three years at the earliest before the investors see any type of modest return on their investment.  Our projects produce immediate results in the first year due to their very nature and global demand.  These Exclusive World Class Projects which are available to us for investments have no less than 2, but normally include 5 or more Major Integrated Income Production Elements within each project.  It should also be noted that each income producing element within these projects are so strong that they could stand on their own and support the entire project, which is why many of these elements are developed together to form an Advanced Integrated Income Generation Project depending upon the requirements and location of the program.

All of the projects that this special opportunity fund invests in involve Proprietary Advanced Technologies and Advanced Physical Science / Processes (not known to the great majority of Asset Manager Companies Staffs).   Other types of investment pool managers, hedge funds, etc. do not know or even have access to these world class development engineering people and the technologies assets and projects that they develop, implement and manage.  Currently we have in excess of $10 Billion Dollars worth of Advanced High Income Generation Projects available to us for investments.

These projects are developed, implemented and managed by Highly Reliable, Senior Internationally Experienced Technical Managers, Senior Science Managers and Senior Logistics / Project Security Management Staff.  There are in excess of 300 Top Level Executive Technical Managers with over 30 years of Experience in each of their perspective Development Sectors available for all projects that our fund invests in.  These projects are designed to insure extreme depth of expertise and experience management which is available to any project at any and every stage of the project program, regardless of location of the project anywhere globally.

This fund understands that most  Investors, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Major International Banks, Hedge Funds, Fund of Funds, Private Equity Funds and others do not have the technical resources, capability, background and or understanding to evaluate, determine and differentiate between good and bad Large Advanced High Income Generation Projects, Project Developers, Project Implementation Capability and Management of Highly Integrated Multiple Income Steam Revenue Generation Projects. 

This is the strength of the Asset Manager and where he excels; during the past several years  he has been mentored, tutored and trained by some of the oldest and most highly respected, responsible, highly sought after and experienced Development Engineers who have planned, master planned, developed, managed, evaluated and trouble shot Economic Development Projects, Strong Multiple Stream Income Generation Projects, conducted Nation Building and Humanitarian Projects in over 65 countries during the past 40 years.  The training he has received allows him to thoroughly review, comprehend and evaluate Project Development, Project Implementation, Logistics, Security and Management of these projects as well as the risk management associated with each potential investment.  This process has provided him with the understanding, knowledge and insights of Project Development, Implementation, Logistics Operations and Infrastructure development of large income generation projects to determine unequivocally, which Highly Advanced Income Production Projects are viable and which ones are questionable investments at best.

A Special Note of consideration is that each investment will bring with it potential tax advantages not typically found with other types of investments.  Depending on where the project(s) are located and how the project are legally structured and set up (Development Corporations, Development Authorities, etc. which are authorized by local, state or federal governments) could result in tremendous tax advantages, which each investors tax advisor will need to qualify and determine the best approach for each investors own tax liabilities depending upon their current tax status, situation and strategies.

The results of this Special Investment Vehicle fund are highly advantageous investment opportunities that by far exceed the majority of investment opportunities available to investors from a financial return as well as extremely low risk standpoint by investing in Outstanding Advanced High Income Generation Projects carried out by highly reliable and responsible individuals and organizations.

Face to face meetings are welcomed and encouraged in order to qualify, verify and validate these investment opportunities which stem from the Americana way of project development and implementation with the application of Science, Engineering, Logistics, Security and Management which dates back to over 200 Years during the American Expansion of the United States of America.  Never before in the history of mankind has the shear number and sizes of these Consumer Universal Demand Markets been in place and more importantly, primed and ready to handle and accept these vital, crucial and very high demand, commercially valued products coming from these projects.

** Fully Integrated Dual Element - Oil & Gas / Real Example Project **

This Oil & Gas production program is headed up by a Top Level Senior International Consultant who is an Oil and Gas Industry Executive which has been involved in the Oil & Gas Industry over the past 50 years.  This Oil & Gas Executive is the Systems Developer, Scientist, Equipment Designer and Engineer who is recognized as an expert in his field by the U.S. Department of Energy who also has called him upon him frequently in the past to trouble shoot particular Oil and Gas fields as a technical advisor and as a trouble shooter to rectify any and all problems associated with troubled oil and gas production fields.

This Top Senior International Consultant has a proprietary and proven 12 step methodology for siting, drilling, completing and production techniques for all wells.  He has a historical commercial success rate of 92% for bringing in all of his wells sited, drilled, completed and producing which also has a normal life span of 15 to 20 plus yearâ??s worth of production.

This Advanced High Income Generation Oil and Gas project is comprised of the following:  A Top Down Electric Air Hammer System which is highly sensorized with Professional Engineers and Scientists managing all operational positions.  These auto sensor rigs provide detailed information by satellite to a centralized operations and training center where all decisions are made by people with 45 â?? 50 years of successful completion and production experience.

Each oil and gas well completed will be drilled in both soft and hard rock beds and will vary in depths from 3,000 feet to over 13,000 feet.  All wells in this program will be completed initially in the state of Texas, in the United States of America.

Typical production wells will produce 60 barrels of oil per day to 500 â?? 600 barrels of oil per day and the gas wells will produce in a typical range of 2 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to in excess of 20 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. The total net operating investment will be returned within 4 months of production for each well.

Multiple producing formations will be completed and isolated with proprietary tools and instruments which will be operated simultaneously through out the life of the wells.  The typical life of these well are 15 â?? 20 years because of the 12 different proprietary methods used for siting, drilling, completion and production techniques, tools, proprietary materials and instruments used on each and every well which prevents formation damage and increases the life cycle of each well to maximize the highest production obtainable.

This program consists of hundreds of oil and gas wells sited, drilled, completed and in production within a 1 â?? 2 year period.  These wells will be sited, drilled and completed in historically very well known and documented oil and gas producing formations within the state of Texas, in the United States of America.

Investors will receive an estimated 15 â?? 21% annual return per year on their investment, with payments coming at the end of each year from this program.  The threshold investment will be an aggregate amount of $400 hundred million dollars which is what the minimum program investment calls for.  A $10 Million dollar minimum investment is the entry point for this program, with all others being on a case by case basis.

Estimated program revenues are based on $60 dollars a barrel and $6.5 dollars per thousand cubic foot of natural gas.  Over the last year crude oil (West Texas Intermediate) has sold as low as $50 dollars a barrel up to as much as $147 dollars a barrel.  Over the past year natural gas has sold from $5.5 dollars a thousand cubic foot to $11.3 dollars per thousand cubic foot.

Example Oil & Gas Well Profile:  One well; properly sited, drilled, completed and producing will conservatively produce 100 barrels of oil per day and 4 million cubic foot of natural gas per day.  This provides the overall program (100 barrels x $60 per barrel = $6,000) $6,000 dollars per day of revenue.  Each 4,000 cubic foot of natural gas (4,000 x $6.5 per thousand cubic foot = $26,000) $26,000 dollars per day of revenue.  Total revenue for this example is estimated at $32,000 dollars per day of program revenue for this example.

** All wells in this program will not produce the same **

Each month this represents a program return of (30 days x $32,000 = $960,000) $960,000 dollars of revenue coming from this one (1) example well.  The investment program we are offering involve several hundreds of program wells being sited, drilled, completed and operating within a 1 to 2 year period.

Remember, this is only two elements of a fully integrated Advanced High Income Generation Project which will involve in most cases several other elements (normally 5 or more) to generate very substantial amounts of revenues over the course of the project life.  With the combination of several other Advanced High Income Generation Elements within one project, this will enhance the financial returns and revenues of the program itself, and thus will also greatly reduce and virtually eliminate any associated risk due to the diversification of the different Major Income Generation elements within each project.

Once again, the result of this Special Investment Vehicle fund are highly advantageous investment opportunities that by far exceed the majority of investment opportunities from a financial return and an extremely low risk standpoint by investing in Outstanding Advanced High Income Generation Projects.

Goil Coin Collecting - Old Is Gold Indeed!

Posted by admin as gold bullion

Coin collecting is an activity that goes back to the time when coins were issued for the first time in trade. Only during the middle ages did people turn it into a hobby due to the historical significance and art work it provided.

Today, coin collecting is a hobby that lots of people enjoy. A collection of gold coins is perhaps the most expensive and precious collections that a person can have. The costliest gold coin that was ever bought cost around 8 million dollars. It was called the American 1933 Gold Eagle. It is evident why the hobby of collecting gold coins is referred to as the king’s hobby.

One of the earliest money forms were gold coins. Silver coins followed these. From 1838 to 1933, gold coins had been circulating in the States. The initial design was the bust of the Liberty Head. After this, the design changed to Saint Gaudens motifs and the Indian Head, which was used until the year 1933. This was followed by the Great Depression, which resulted in the recall of the gold coins, which is why it is difficult to find them today.

As these are not in circulation anymore, the price of these commodities are very high. Today, gold is used for various other items like jewellery and bars. People retain these as an investment.

The first gold coin that South Africa minted was called the Krugerrand in the year 1967. The coin stands mostly as a symbol and has no real face value. It is made up of an ounce of gold and it is usually purchased for the purpose of investment.

After this, many other countries started minting bullion coins. In 1970, Canada produced the Gold Maple Leaf and in 1981, Australia the Nugget. These coins boast of a 24 carat purity and so are far more popular than their South African counterpart.

Today, there is an increasing number of people who are investing in gold as there is a speculation that this demand will cause an increase in the market value. There are still others who prefer to use gold as an insurance in case their financial situation worsens. At one point of time, with the increase in paper money, the value of gold increased and this kept a balance between the value of money and gold. This standard came to an end in the year 1971, after which the government could produce more paper money without the subsequent increase in price of the gold.

As there is no place where gold coins are used for purchase of merchandise, coin collectors prefer to collect them to remember the time when it was once used.

What Are Australian Gold Nugget Coins?

Posted by admin as gold bullion

Potential gold investors will want to know what are Australian gold nugget coins? At this time, gold is rising in price and more people are looking to invest in gold and learn about gold buying options. This type of Australian gold coin was first issued in 1986 and initially one side of the coin had an image of a famous Australian gold nugget. This image was replaced with that of a kangaroo in 1989. Nuggets, the image first carried by these coins, are becoming rarer to locate. It has been said that a five-carat diamond is easier to find than a nugget of one ounce of gold today. In addition, each nugget is unique. They also sell for a higher price as they are viewed as the equivalent of gemstones. What many do not realize is that most gold coins are made from melted gold dust, which is far more common than nuggets. A limited amount of the Australian gold nugget coins was minted in the early years, so they might be even more valuable today. For instance, the year 1987 only had 15,000 of each type of coin produced. These coins are produced in different weights and in fractions of an ounce.

While the American Buffalo gold coin is the most popular amongst gold investors who buy coins, the Australian gold nugget coins are also very popular, because they have a distinguishing feature that is rare. The Perth Mint, a subsidiary of the Royal Australian Mint mints these coins. The coins should not be confused with the lunar gold bullion coins and they cannot be confused as they have different images printed on them. The latter carry different animal images from the Chinese lunar calendar; and the former now carry different images of kangaroos.

Why There Is Growing Interest In Gold As An Asset For Investment

Investors fearing the loss of the value of their due to inflation caused by the printing of money by governments desperate to avert the downside of the Great Recession are flocking to gold as a hedge. These are the less informed investors who missed what a leading official of the leading gold mining company (Barrick) recently noted that global gold production is falling because there is less gold available. This was revealed in an article published in the British newspaper the Daily Telegraph on November 13, 2009. The newspaper quoted Aaron Regent, the president of the Canadian mining company, who said at a gold conference held in London that global output has declined by approximately 1m ounces a year since the beginning of this decade. Total supply he further said had dropped by 10 percent with erosion of quality as well. Hence, gold is becoming dearer and its value will rise regardless of what will be caused by the paper-printing machine of governments.

A Little History About Australian Gold Coins

As investors are aware, gold coins tend to hold their value. The one-ounce size, because of convenience and relative value is a popular size. In this category, the South African Krugerrand was a market opener in 1967. Krugerrands were minted in fractional sizes of a half-ounce, a quarter ounce, and a tenth of an ounce from 1980 onwards. The Panda gold coins minted by the Republic of China created solid demand a changing the design every year after their introduction in the early 1980s. Australians appear to have followed with pattern with the changing image feature of the new coin series.

Australia has issued gold coins since 1852 In 1986, gold coins in convenient weights became originally available in four different weights, from one ounce to one tenth of an ounce. A twentieth ounce size was introduced in 1989; and in 1991 larger sizes, ranging from two ounces to 10 ounce and one kilo were introduced. Annually, the coins are produced in the following weights: 350,000 at 1oz, 100,000 at 1/2oz, 150,000 at 1/4oz, 200,000 at 1/10oz, and 200,000 at 1/20oz coins Distinguishing features of these coins are: annual design changes; a government guarantee of purity and weight; an official legal tender status and a high quality finish, with a delicate frosting within its central design area.

Bullion Trading

Posted by admin as gold bullion

Bullion trading encompasses gold, silver, precious metals and associated products which are traded through over-the-counter bullion trading platforms .US already has many decentralized units splashed all across its territory which enable bullion trading. Few countries have become price makers and left the tag of price takers far behind the toe-line. This is amply exhibited by how these countries are reacting today through the ever looming recession, focusing chiefly on bullion clouding.

The oil prices have led to the hottening up of bullion trading and it seems that drying liquidity and cabinet proposals may look to be instrumental for bullion market in recent future.

Domain expertise and best global trading practices help in setting price lines for gold trading with the most precise pricing mechanisms followed over the counter in most of the bullion trading countries.

Bullion trading requires a meticulous centre for hallmarking that can facilitate the procedure of setting gold and silver prices in accordance with the top systems. For instance, South East Asia looks up to the AM/PM system in London.

The concept of Spot gold has been traveling all through the arc of western bullion market. Spot gold trading is put forth for settlement two business days from the day of trade. Here, business day is defined as a day when both London and New York bullion exchange are open. Supply and demand theories do not move the gold market that much. Itâ??s the interest rate differentials along with spot prices which are instrumental in freezing and melting the bullion market. This determines the volatility or the lack of it as far as gold price movement is concerned?

Interest rate for gold is obviously below intra country interest rates. This is so precisely because it would encourage gold borrowing and let the central bank monetize in chunk through their colossal gold holdings.

Today, bulk of gold and silver trading is done at the over the counter market. An optimum chunk of bullion trading is also done over internet medium.

Also, the banks are promoting the purchase of gold and they are trying to lure retail investors with handy perks to speed up the process of gold sale

Investing in Precious Metals – Gold Bullion

Posted by admin as gold bullion

During these times of economic hardship, there is a high demand for stable and reliable investments. Both experienced and novice investors are turning to precious metals, and more specifically gold bullion as a way to add stability to their portfolio. Gold has been recognized as a status symbol for centuries, from the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans through to the modern day. It is highly sought after, and maintains its value through recessions and even depressions in the economy. It is a universally accepted currency, is highly durable, and will not wear out passing form hand to hand. Here we will outline how you can add gold to your portfolio.

To understand how to invest in gold, you must first understand how the price of gold is determined. The standard benchmark price for gold is the London Gold Fixing. It is set twice daily by telephone by the five members of the London Gold Pool. Like most other forms of investments, gold prices will fluctuate through supply and demand cycles. However, because the worldâ??s total supply of gold is relatively finite the price is more susceptible to acts of hoarding and disposing. We find in general that gold becomes more desirable during the following situations, war and national crisis, bank failures and dramatic drops in real estate prices. Many people invest in gold simply because they do not trust normal currency and see gold bullion as a form of safety net.

There are many ways to invest in gold, which includes either direct ownership, or indirect ownership through stocks, shares or other accounts. If you wish to own gold directly you can choose to place it in a safe deposit bank inside your home. The disadvantage to this is if your home is burgled or suffers a disaster you will lose your investment. There are safer forms of direct ownership, such as placing the gold in a larger pool with a bank or dealer. Some even choose to select an offshore dealer to ensure higher security. The most traditional form of gold bullion is gold bars and gold coins. Gold bars are sold in various sizes depending on the country. Because gold bars are difficult to transport most Swiss banks offer gold accounts. In these accounts you can buy and sell the gold just like any other form of foreign currency.

So next time you are evaluating your investment portfolio, consider gold bullion as a way to add stability and further your peace of find.
