Some years ago, the Chairman and Chief Executive of Fidelity Investments, the world's largest mutual fund company, was one of the principal investors in a partnership that invested $348,380 in rare U.S. coins.That partnership was liquidatd 4 years later for $2,158,450.

More recently, one of the largest bond traders in America during the 1980s has been buying millions of dollars of rare coins each year.Sophisticated investors know that all investments follow cycles and that no investment goes up forever. That's why prudent investors diversify.

The sophisticated investors who are investing in rare coins today are no strangers to the bear market-bull market cycles that have occurred over the last 30 years. Their objective is simply to buy low and sell high. At the same time, they know from experience that, because the markets seldom send totally clear signals telling investors what to do, their best protection is diversification.

Whether an individual investment approach is conservative or aggressive, tangible assets can play a vital role in a portfolio's performance. A typical investment portfolio today includes a variety of financial assets, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds and cash. Adding tangible assets to this type of portfolio introduces an entirely different class of investment, thus increasing the portfolio's degree of diversification. The purpose of diversification is to protect the total portfolio. Gold and rare coins provide this kind of diversification.
 

In fact, a recent study published by Raymond E. Lombra, Professor of Economics at Penn State, showed that including gold and rare coins in a portfolio of stocks, Treasury bonds and Treasury bills would have increased the overall return of the portfolio and, at the same time, reduced the level of risk. For this reason, experts recommend that investors keep 5%-10% of their total assets in tangible assets.

If you are looking for diversity and long-term investment potential, you will want to carefully consider this attractive offer. 
 

Our goal at Blanchard and Company, Inc. is to help our clients protect and build their wealth. The best way for us to achieve our goal is to recommend that you buy beautiful coins with a long history of popularity. That is why we have sent you this offer - an opportunity to acquire the most popular set of rare gold coins in America: The 4-Coin United States Gold Indian Set.
 

From 1908 to 1933, the gold pieces that make up the Indian Set - the Indian Quarter Eagle, Half Eagle and Eagle and the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle - formed the foundation of daily commerce in the United States. That came to an abrupt halt in 1933 when private gold ownership became illegal and President Franklin Roosevelt confiscated all privately owned gold. Tens of millions of these gold coins were melted into lifeless bars. The relatively tiny numbers of survivors are now sought after by an increasing number of investors and collectors.

Today more and more investors are taking a close look at rare coins - and with good reason. Rare coins have an inherent supply/demand advantage, since they compromise a diminishing supply, with only a relatively tight "float" of available products at any point in time. And demand is growing. According to American Numismatic Association statistics, the investor and collector base is estimated to have doubled in each of the last three decades.
 

Rare gold coins are an ideal "double-play" investment for today's rapidly changing investment landscape because they offer the intrinsic security of their high gold content.
 

But, in addition to being a sound long-term investment, the U.S. Gold Indian Set is an excellent way to experience American history through the artistic expression of coin design. As you can see from the photographs on this web site, they boast a level of aesthetic grace that virtually no other investment can match.
 

We have only a limited supply of these beautiful sets. To order, call toll-free 1-800-880-4653 to reserve your coins.
