The
2009 Investment Report Card
It is clear from the 2009 results that $20
Gold Saint Gaudens in MS63 and higher was the best investment
for 2009. $20 Gold Saint Gaudens MS63 & higher price increase
for the past two years was substantially greater than the
gold bullion or equity price. I believe the performance of
Gold and especially investment quality U.S. $20 Gold Saint
Gaudens will continue into 2010 & 2011.
