Given the opportunity to contrast the bland appearance and feel of modern paper money with the old-world elegance and solidity of the Belgium 20 franc gold coin, the case for gold ownership makes itself. The "Leopold" invokes a simpler time when the great nations of the world forthrightly minted their money in gold and silver. To the saver of that by-gone era, this meant that 20 francs deposited today would translate to the same 20 francs in purchasing power when withdrawn. In this era of failing banks and currencies, that type of confidence in the national money is the part of the social contract that has gone missing.

Fortunately, the contemporary saver can still obtain a small piece of elegance and solidity in exchange for paper money -- a circumstance which brings us to our August, 2008 Buyers' Group. Over the many years we have handled pre-1933 European gold coins from the exotic to the ordinary, I can not recall ever placing more than a handful of the Belgian 20 franc gold coins, particularly in uncirculated condition. It is with great pleasure that we offer our clientele this specially acquired allotment of 2000 coins.

As an added inducement, and to send gold's summer doldrums packing, we are offering immediate delivery on orders of 50 coins or more paid by bank wire. Pay by wire today and your order will leave our shipping facility by U.S. Express Mail that day or the next.

As always, orders will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

As those of you who have read "Bargain-Hunting for Gold" know, a big chunk of gold's annual gains traditionally come between August and December. Well, here we are at the beginning of August, the price is down, and you have before you an exceptional opportunity in the form of the Belgium 20 franc "Leopold." -- MK
