The key to understanding numismatics is as simple as Supply and Demand.

Understanding the advantages for you owning rare coins, especially in precarious times, is even easier:

Simple- Rare coins trade on basic economics- Supply Vs demand.

Profit-Over the past 30 years rare coins have beat the S & P 500 stock market index 3-1.

Liquidity- Certified coins are traded daily "sight unseen".

Secure– Certified coins have guaranteed grade and authenticity.

Tax deferred- Capital gains tax is only applicable upon liquidation.

Private- only you and your dealer know your holdings.

Portability– In times of political instability rare coins can easily be transported.
