I mentioned in my other blogs that wifey  sister is graduating soon. Well, we are on the lookout for the best graduation gift for her. Although a part of me is saying that it is unnecessary, but I still deem it is the best way to congratulate her for all her efforts. My girl suggests giving gadgets like camera or cellphone. But all of those will lose its value after some time especially with our technology now.

I want to give something that lasts for a long time. Things that will not lose its value rather increase or maintain after several years. So, I thought about giving her gold coin because that is the only one that fits its description.

Speaking of which, I always disclose my intention to buy one not to give as gift, but as keep stake. As an investment product, gold is available in coin or ingot form. Ingots are generally gold ingots of pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape. Coins have a currency value or they are actually defined as ingots. Gold is recognized as one of the best ways to preserve one’s wealth and purchasing power. And I know exactly where to buy it, at the United States Gold Bureau.
