Basic Strategy

September 6, 2011

Originally written by Jerry Martin in the Year 2000 and updated often since then.

	Gold	Silver	Platinum	Palladium
December 31, 2000	$ 264.50	$4.74	$610.00	$946.00
August 16, 2011	$1,874.00	$42.00	$1,858.00	$747.75
	709% Increase	886% Increase	305% Increase	27% Decrease

Consider placing at least 10% to 25% of your portfolio in:

#1 25% in Old United States Gold Coins: In 1935 Article 2B Emergency Powers Act exempted U. S. Gold coins that were considered "collectible" from the immoral seizure that took place under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Collectibles were never clearly defined; however gold coins trading at a level of 15% or more than their intrinsic value seem to qualify. I recommend buying pre 1935 U. S. gold $5.00, $10.00, and $20.00 gold coins. Also consider Buying U.S. Modern Commemorative Gold Coins; these coins were minted to commemorate special events in American History. Many can be bought at near bullion prices, but are considered collectible. Consider American Gold Eagle Fractionals and Proofs coins as well. Government seizure is not likely to happen again, but it could!

#2 25% in Modern Gold coins including American Eagles, South Africa Kruggerands, Canada Maple Leafs, Austria Philharmonics, Australia Nuggets, China Pandas, Mexico Pesos and others. These coins come in fractions of an ounce up to one ounce. I recommend quantities of all different sizes. They can be purchased closer to the International price of Gold than the first category shown above.

#3 25% in U. S. minted Silver Coins: Silver is poor man’s gold, everybody ought to own some silver. Currently 35% Silver War Nickels and 40% Kennedy Half-Dollars offer the smallest premium above melt. However, I recommend 90% Silver Dimes and Quarters and Half Dollars. Old Morgan and Peace Dollars trade at a significant premium, but still offer very good value. Silver can also be purchased in .999 pure silver rounds or bars, they come in 1oz, 10oz and 100oz bars or even larger.

#4 25% in U. S. minted Numismatic Coins: I recommend you buy anything you like. Historically higher grade coins and rarer dates will increase at percentages greater than low-grade common dates. Rule of thumb: “Common Today, Common Tomorrow, Rare Today, Rarer Tomorrow”. If you want help, we will make recommendations based on our current inventory and what is available in the market place.

Note: We sell ALL of the products listed above, if you need more help making United States Numismatic Choices, we offer a Purchase Program starting at $1,000.00. See below for more details.

Disclaimer: As a disclaimer, it is necessary for us to say that we have a conflict in giving advice on products that we sell. Acting upon our advice represents a significant departure from current financial norms. Many “so-called” experts consider a commitment to gold or silver to be risky and unprofitable. However, we believe we will have a stock market crash and/or outrageous inflation and that Gold and Silver will be the primary viable "money" should these occur. All opinions expressed in this publication are those of Jerry Martin and are subject to change without notice. Gold, Silver and Rare Coins are not necessarily a medium appropriate for every individual.

* Note: We sell Platinum & Palladium, but have NEVER recommended them in the Basic Strategy!

Unsolicited Testimonies

Wow Jerry,

 I remember when you wrote this article.  You were still using your mailer newsletter weren't you?  I did buy my first gold coin from you that year, a $10 US gold coin of that year.  I did buy more gold coins and I wish I had bought more.  But I want you to know you have inspired me to buy silver and gold coins through the years and I now have what I think is a good investment.  What makes it even better is that it is more than an investment.  It is a collection, a piece of history and something that I can enjoy. Thank you for all of your knowledge and help for the past 15 years.  Although I don't make it to your Woodlands sales events as much as I want to, I do appreciate that you are still dealing coins.  God bless you. JP

Hi Jerry....

Please suggest the safest packaging to use to send gold coins through the mail. … the $10,000.00 I got from you in 2001 is the best investment I have ever made. Well, no, Jesus is my BEST investment! Thanks for everything and God Bless, DW

Warning, it is getting late!

Gold: Gold at the current levels is not just a "good" buy it is a "GREAT" buy. Although there are NO GUARANTEES the future looks bright for gold. America is one of the only major countries in the world where its citizens have less than 1% of their wealth invested in gold. Today India, Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, South Korea, Indonesia, and Greece continue to be the largest buyers of gold. While countries like, Canada, Australia, England, Belgium and yes the United States continues to sell off their gold reserves. It was believed that the United States once controlled over 80% of the bullion gold in the world. There has not been an audit of Fort Knox since 1949 and we know that the U.S. has spent billions of dollars in gold to re-build countries like Japan, Germany, Brazil, Venezuela and others. How much gold do we have left? Did you know the United States has run out of silver and is currently buying silver in the international market? Will gold be next?

Silver: Silver is a poor mans gold. Why buy silver? Silver is too too cheap. About 1/3 of the silver used in the last 10 years has come as a by-product from copper and gold mines. The other 2/3 is from recovered silver, which is nearly exhausted. It is written that there is five times more gold available than silver. Silver is used industrially for virtually every electric motor. Think about it, refrigerators, computers, toasters, automobile engines and accessories, the list could go on forever! This writer believes it will be easier for silver to double in value than for gold to double its value. As mentioned above our government has run out of silver and is currently buying silver in the international market. One day in our future we will be mining landfills to recapture the silver that has been thrown away. Silver is too too Cheap! Are you going to buy yours?

Numismatics: Rare and collectible coin collecting is as old as coins themselves. Historically rare coin values cycle in seven to nine year periods. It is this writer's opinion that we are currently in year seven of the current cycle, meaning perhaps another 2 years of rising prices. Price adjustments afterward would be the norm. So what is hot? Most collectors/investors would never guess that high grade Buffalo Nickels as a group has out-performed all other groups. However Cent and Silver Dollars are not far behind. Washington Quarters 1932-1964 in the last two years have all gone up significantly and are destined to continue rising in value. I really do not believe it makes any difference what you collect; if you buy accurately graded coins at fair prices you will be happy later. So finish those sets NOW. This writer believes there are strong indications that virtually all areas of coin collecting will be HOT for the next couple of years. Coin collecting is also good for the heart and surely will give a better financial return than most other hobbies, i.e. golfing, hunting, fishing, oh no, now I gone to meddling!

Why Own Gold and Silver?

Genesis 2:12 says in the beginning God created gold and said “… it was good”. God’s word in Revelation 21:18, 21 says the buildings in Heaven will be built out of gold and the streets in Heaven will be paved with gold. If God said gold was good in the beginning and declares Heaven will be covered in gold then I think gold will always have great value on earth.

God defines wealth in Genesis 13:2, Genesis 24:35, Deuteronomy 8:13, Joshua 22:8 and many other places to include gold and silver! The Bible in Revelation 3:18 says “I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich;…” This scripture is not recommending that you and I buy physical gold but rather invest our lives in the one God that is the Lord Jesus Christ. However the analogy the Lord uses cannot be ignored, gold has and will always have great value.

Yes, I know about James 5:3 where God warns non-Christians that their hoarded gold and silver will be “cankered” in the last days and therefore become worthless. No amount of gold and silver can buy your way into Heaven. Only a personal relationship with Jesus Christ assures your eternal salvation. The Bible in Genesis tells us about a man called Joseph. Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery, the Bible says they meant it for evil but God meant it for good. The Pharaoh of Egypt was having repeating dreams and Joseph by the power of God interpreted that God would allow a great seven year famine to come upon the land, Pharaoh needed to prepare for that time during the current time of seven years of plenty. Because Joseph was obedient to the Lord not only were the Egyptians saved but also all of Joseph’s family and the entire Hebrew nation. I believe there will be a great financial famine in America called the Seven years of Tribulation, I recommend you store up some gold and silver now while times are good.

The Word of God, The Holy Bible consistently says when men are rich in material possessions they OWN gold and silver. They have physical possession not paper representing ownership. Gold and Silver have been recognized since the beginning of time as monetary instruments. Over the years all governments have placed them on the back burner in favor of paper money. Paper money is easily de-valued, destroyed and can become worthless overnight, i.e. look at German Marks 1914-1925. Germany issued 100,000 Mark notes, then 1,000,000 Mark notes and even 1,000,000,000 that is Billion Mark notes and all of it was worthless! Our government looks more and more like the old Germany every day!

Okay we will leave the Bible for a few moments and remember a few years back. Who were the “Boat People” of South Vietnam? When South Vietnam fell and their paper money became worthless, what happened to the people? The South Vietnamese people who did not have gold and or silver stored up became prisoners and victims of North Vietnam. Over 2 million (2,000,000) South Vietnamese were murdered by the North Vietnamese. There were “NO” free rides to America, only the people who had gold and silver stored up escaped to America and became known as the “Boat People”. Most of those people are successful and happy Americans today; why because they owned gold and silver. One day Americans may be the “Boat People”.

Back to the future, i.e. the Bible.

“Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest--and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.” Proverbs 6:6-11 NIV
