Israel's Gold

Bank of Israel issued "Commemorative" gold coins are excellent investments for several reasons.

World Turmoil: Gold always has been a store of value, protecting its owners from monetary disruptions. With the declining value of the dollar, gold, as opposed to paper currency, is a proven store of wealth.

Portability: $100,000 worth of gold can be hidden in an average sized ladies purse.

Privacy: Gold can be purchased without disclosing your personal information such as social security or driver's license number.

Superior Returns: Because of economic uncertainty, shortage of supply and increasing demand from the Middle East and Asia, gold has gone from $250 per ounce in 1999 to over $1000 per ounce recently, a 14% average annual rate of return. These trends are projected to increase for years to come, as the dollar continues to lose value, and Asian economies continue their rapid expansion.

Margin of Safety: Today, Israeli Commemoratives sell at a historically small premium over their gold content. However, due to the limited mintage of these coins, these premiums could once again increase significantly, driving prices substantially higher, independent of the underlying gold price. In the unlikely event that the price of gold should decline, the value of Israeli Commemoratives could remain stable or even increase. Bullion coins do not offer this margin of safety.

Own a Piece of "The Land": Why invest in US, Canadian or South African gold, when, for virtually the same price, you can hold in your hand a peice of the "holy land?"

Confiscation: Patriot Act regulations effective January 1, 2006 indicate our governments intention to once again outlaw private gold ownership. Should this happen, it is presumed that rare/collectible or "numismatic" coins would be exempt from confiscation. (Please see the Federal Register for wording on what is, and is not, considered "numismatic" coinage.) Due to the "commemorative" nature of Israeli gold, it is possible that they may be considered exempt.

Due to our association with one of the nation's largest bullion dealers, we are able to provide Israeli Commemorative Gold in quantity when other dealers cannot.

Israeli Commemorative Gold: A Messianic View

Once you understand the wisdom of protecting your wealth with gold, the next question that needs to be answered is "what kind of gold should I buy?"

Let me suggest Israeli Gold Commemorative coins, and here's why...

Scarcity
As of this writing, with gold at about $1,100/ounce, the rare 1997 Jackie Robinson Commemorative coin  issued by the US Mint contains about $240 of gold. At present, this coin sells for about $3,500. (Click here for current prices.) This is a rarity premium of over 1,350% for a coin that has a mintage of 5,174 coins.

By comparison, the 2002 Tower of Babel Israeli Commemorative coin issued by The Bank of Israel has a mintage of only 750.  It is an extremely rare coin.  It contains $550 of gold and is currently priced at around $1,000 a coin, about an 80% rarity premium.

Also, by way of comparison, the 1982 Qumran Caves Gold Commemorative Coin issued by the Bank of Israel has a mintage of 4,927, very close to that of the Jackie Robinson Commemorative.  Yet it only commands a 35% premium over its gold content.

Why the disparity?
As in real estate, supply and demand determine price in the gold commemoratives market.  Just as real estate has a fixed supply, so do commemoratives.  Their mintages are fixed.  Just as no more land is being made, there will never be another 2002 Tower of Babel Commemorative produced.

How does this supply inelasticity factor into price?

Consider the orange grower that lived in Orlando, Florida in the 1960s. His land might have been valued at a few hundred dollars an acre. No one would have given him much more than that.

But suppose that a local developer learned that Walt Disney was planning on building theme park there. How much do you think that developer would have been willing to give the farmer for his land? Would thousands of dollars per acre have been a "steal" for the developer? You bet!  That developer would be a billionaire today.

Because the developer knew that demand for that property would be increasing in years to come, it was just the "inside information" he needed to make a fortune!

In real estate, location determines price.  If everyone wants to be in a certain location, then prices are driven up.  Like our developer that knew ahead of time that Orlando would soon be a "good" location, we have the same "inside information" with Israeli Commemorative gold.


Empire
Empires come and go.  Egypt, Israel, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, Britain, America.

Today,  anything "American" carries a premium because Americans, the richest consumers on earth, are willing to pay it because of their affinity to America.

Take the Jackie Robinson coin for instance.  The people with the money want it, can afford it, and are willing to pay for it.  And the Tower of Babel coin?  Americans couldn't care less.  This is Empire America.  "What has Israel got to do with anything," they reason in their minds.

But in the coming years, this mindset will be changing because Scripture has clearly shown us that the next and last great empire will be Israel.  And by all prophetic calculations, this shifting of power from West back to the East will be completed over the next 20 years.

Then, instead of bidding up prices for "American" coins, the world will be bidding up prices on the pieces of history of the new empire, Israel.

We are the Orlando developer.  We know what is coming.  The only thing left to do is take advantage of the opportunity.

NOTES

Deut 8:18  But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

God is in the process of re-establishing His Covenant with His Covenant people.  This covenant involves the land that was given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and He is currently in the process of transferring the wealth of the wicked to the righteous so that THAT covenant can be re-established.

Prov 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the ungodly is laid up for the righteous.


Jerusalem shall be the center of the world for the next 1000 years. The world will return to a sound money standard which will be based on gold and silver. Gold from Israel will be highly prized.

Isaiah 2:1-9 The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Now it will come about that In the last days, the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains, and will be raised above the hills; and all the nations will stream to it.
3 And many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that He may teach us concerning His ways, and that we may walk in His paths." For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And He will judge between the nations, and will render decisions for many peoples; and they will hammer their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they learn war.
5 Come, house of Jacob, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6 For Thou hast abandoned Thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled {with influences} from the east, and {they are} soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike {bargains} with the children of foreigners.
7 Their land has also been filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; their land has also been filled with horses, and there is no end to their chariots.
8 Their land has also been filled with idols; they worship the work of their hands, that which their fingers have made.
9 So the {common} man has been humbled, and the man {of importance} has been abased, but do not forgive them.
