Intro

While gold is good, rare coins do an even better job of preserving and growing wealth.

Blanchard, through its subsidiary AG Finance LLC, has created a way for you to put the money you have invested in gold to work for you, by using your gold as collateral on a loan that will help you further diversify into rare coins.

“The Investment Performance of Rare U.S. Coins” study by Penn State University Senior Professor, Raymond E. Lombra, Ph.D., stated that “Gold is a better hedge against inflation than stocks and much better than Treasury bonds. Rare coins are an even better hedge against inflation than gold and thus much better than stocks and Treasury bonds. When inflation turns up, the responsive increase in rare coin prices could well be quicker and larger than the returns of most other assets.” (The Lombra Report)

Blanchard, the premier dealer in gold and rare coins in the country, offers essential services to hard asset buyers that no other dealer provides:

  • Insurance and secure storage;
  • Loans against your gold or rare coins as collateral;
  • The ability to buy gold and rare coins using your purchases as primary collateral.

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, AG Finance, LLC, we provide loans or lines of credit to owners and buyers of precious metals and rare coins. For example, you can pledge $100,000 in gold to buy $70,000 worth of rare coins and still own your gold! This represents a significant improvement in your liquidity for your gold assets and further diversifies and improves your portfolio.
