Blanchard and Company recommends building the 12 Piece Mint Set by acquiring the 4 Piece Indian Set and 4 Piece Liberty Set first, and then acquiring the following 4 small denomination gold coins:
  • $3 Gold Indian Princess

    $3 Gold Indian Princess

Did you know? U.S. Rare Coins such as those comprising the 12 Piece Mint Set have realized over 300% returns over bullion in the last decade.

In fact, numismatic (rare coin) collectors have long benefited from the excellent profit potential of well-designed coin sets. Consider the Eliasberg collection, the only collection of U.S. coins ever formed that was complete by denomination, mint and date. Building on a formidable collection assembled decades earlier that he purchased from John M. Clapp, including coins obtained directly from the various mints in the year of issue, Eliasberg engaged several dealers to help him complete the collection. Between 1925 and the 1950s his meticulous records reveal he spent an estimated $400,000 on coin purchases. His heirs sold the collection at auction over several years, receiving a total of $44 million.

Indians & Liberties:
The coins of the 12 Piece Mint Set

  • Demand – These gold coins are pure U.S. history; the gold of pioneers and outlaws, of the Wild West and the Civil War, of Rockefeller and Carnegie, sought-after worldwide.
  • Scarcity – About 95% of Indian and Liberty coins were melted in the 1930s, while demand continues to grow for existing coins.
  • Design – These gold coins are some of the most beautiful ever minted, with designs by renowned artists such as Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Christian Gobrecht.
  • Purity – Rich in pure gold, much of it mined in the American West a century ago, minted by the U.S. Government.
  • Grade – At Blanchard we carefully handpick our rare coins from top PCGS and NGC graded and certified coins available.
  • Diversification – Diversifying into U.S. rare gold can help protect and increase the value of your portfolio.
