PURE .999 GOLD COIN 1997-98' Description Gold has reached a twenty-seven year high.  Gold has a long ways to go before it reaches it true value. Don't be left out on the continuing rise in the value of gold. Gold is outperforming interest rate, bond rates and the stock market. If you don't have at least 15% of your net worth invested in gold then you are making a major investment error. This is just the beginning in the appreciation of gold. The Austrian Philharmonic 2000 Schilling pure gold coin is now discontinued in the Schilling denominated. The Austrian Philharmonic 2000 Schilling is now not only the worlds most beautiful pure (999.9) gold coin but also with significant collectors value. In 2002 the Austrian Mint started minting only EURO denominated pure gold coins. I have a beautiful 1998 mint brilliant uncirculated Austrian Philharmonic 2000 Schilling pure (999.9) gold coin for you to purchase. The "Vienna Philharmonic" pure 24kt gold coin is minted by the famous Austrian Mint. It is considered one of the most beautiful gold coin in the world by collectors. The coin is monetized by one of the most stable hard currencies of the world, the Austrian Schilling. It also carries the distinction of having the highest denominated face value of any gold coin in the world, 2000 Schilling.  Remember that the U.S. Gold Eagle is monetized at only $50 and the Canadian Maple Leaf at 50 Canadian Dollars. The famous South African Krugerrand is not monetized and is not backed by any government of the world. The only value it has is its gold contents. The gold net weight of the Austrian Philharmonic is 31.103g, fineness is 999.9 pure (24kt), total weight is 31.103g, diameter is 37MM and thickness is 2MM. This is a pure one ounce gold coin. With this coin you get a collectors coin, the highest monetized gold coin in the world, a beautiful piece of artwork, and a pure gold coin that is recognized worldwide as the leading gold bullion coin. Gold offers INDEPENDENCE, RESERVE ASSET, SECURITY and LIQUIDITY. Gold is the best protection against inflations and paper money devaluation. When all the paper money (which is backed by the good faith of whichever shadow government is printing it) loses value, gold will remain stable and go up in value. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE US DOLLAR LOST 18% OF IT VALUE IN 2003 AGAINST THE EURO AND EVEN MORE AGAINST THE BRITISH POUND STERLING. Look what is happening in Argentina. The money has been devalued, hyper inflation, a run on the banks, and rioting in the streets by its citizens. The same is now happening in Venezuela. The Japanese citizens are now purchasing gold fearing the yen will be devalued. The Japanese people realize that the yen may lose value but that gold is stable and secure. The US Dollar has been losing value against the Euro and the Yen. With the continued unrest in the Middle East gold will soar. Everyone should own some gold in their portfolio. If you are going to purchase a gold coin then it should be this one for all the reason I have listed. I accept U.S Postal Money Orders or a cashiers check. NO PERSONAL CHECKS.    Shipping in USA is FREE. If you are interested in purchasing larger quantity please email me with how many you would like to purchase. IF YOU ARE A INTERNATIONAL COLLECTOR AND WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE ONE OF THESE GOLD COINS PLEASE EMAIL ME FOR DETAILS AND SHIPPING COST.  If it is illegal to import a gold coin into your country please do not purchase one of these coins.  I will only ship to countries where it is legal to import gold coins. Thank you. Gold swept to a 28-year high today driven by surging oil, a weaker dollar and simmering geopolitical tension, making a test of record highs at $850 an ounce a real possibility on the first business day of 2008.  This was the Headline of MoneyNew.com on 1/02/08.  This is already old news as gold is over $850.00 per ounce. Gold prices have soared over the past year as a weak dollar, record high oil prices and concerns about world political tensions have increased the allure of precious metals. Gold is seen as a safe investment in times of political and economic uncertainty, and as a hedge against inflation. Gold remains far short of its previous high set 28 years ago, however, when adjusted for inflation. An ounce of gold at 1980's record of $875 would be worth $2,115 to $2,200 today. Spot Gold closed (3/14/08) on the New York market today at $1003.30 per ounce.  This is the price for 100 ounce gold bars ($100,330.00) and not one (1) ounce gold coins, which bring a premium over the spot price.  One Hundred Ounce Bars are not practical for the individual investor, but 100 one ounce gold coins are practical, because they are easier to move and can be sold one at a time if necessary.  The high today (3/14/08) on the NY Market was $1008.00.  With the government printing money at record speed the only way to save your wealth is to take your dollars and buy gold. There is no CD or Interest Saving Rate that can match this return.  If you have your money in CD's or an interest bearing account you are losing money.  The dollar is dropping daily on the world market and inflation will raise it ugly head to futhur devalue the dollar and your savings. Don't continue to be left out on the one secure hard asset that will continue to rise in value.  You will sleep sounder knowing that if the dollars continue to fall your gold asset will rise in value.  There is no money to be made with the declining dollar (which is sinking like a rock on water) and low interest rates.
