An added benefit of your gold investment is it will hedge you against inflation, the savers worst nightmare. Inflation means the dollars you have saved for your down payment are worth less each day. As inflation rises, however, gold will appreciate in value to help counteract the lower value of your dollars. This is very similar to how oil stocks provide a hedge against higher gasoline prices. This is a more advanced investment topic and should not be your primary concern but is worth consideration. If you're only buying one coin, it's not going to provide a huge amount of insurance against inflation but it's nice to know you have some protection. Most importantly, it's a great feeling to know that luck is on your side. Buy a gold coin and you will start noticing good things happening in your life. Buy a gold coin and you will quickly save enough money for your mortgage down payment on the home of your dreams.
You can buy silver dollars as a great investment.

A second big category of damage type we see on coins is fingerprints. The oils and acids present on one's hands can damage coins if left on the surface of the coin for an extended time. Initially, they can cause a fingerprint pattern toned area that is unattractive and lowers the value and grade of the coin. Left unattended, these oils and acids can eventually etch the surface of the coin making the fingerprint permanent. Even handling coins by their rims still allows the dangerous compounds onto the rims of the coins. Using a pair of soft cotton gloves when handling raw coins helps protect all three surfaces of the coins. Make sure you get a pair of thin gloves so that you can still feel the coin. Bulky work gloves make it harder to handle small items and increases the risk of dropping the coin.
