Getting Started Some complicate buying gold, but in reality it is a relatively simple process. The following guideline is the result of our experience helping thousands of investors make their initial gold purchase. If, at any point along the way, you have questions, we welcome your telephone call. We think you will find our low-key, no-hassle approach conducive to your making good decisions about gold ownership. 1. Develop a good sense of the role you would like gold to play in your overall portfolio. For beginners, our comprehensive online introductory information packet can be very helpful in this respect. By gaining a solid background on gold ownership, it will help you avoid costly mistakes often made by first-time gold investors.** 2. Decide how much of your overall portfolio should be committed to gold ownership. The old adage still applies: "Put 10% of your money in gold and hope you never need it." Recently, CNBC television commentator Jim Kramer strongly advocated a 20% diversification. We suggest between 10% and 30% depending upon your level of concern about the economy (after subtracting the equity in your home). 3. Match your portfolio choices to your objectives. Our two most popular portfolio inclusions at this time are contemporary gold bullion coins and historic pre-1933 gold coins (the low-premium variety that track the gold price). In fact USAGOLD's overall volume is split roughly 50%-50% between the two groupings. The ownership rationale for each is covered more thoroughly in these two booklets: Investing in Gold Bullion Coins

It is surprising though how so many of these bad experiences could have been avoided with a simple background check at the Better Business Bureau or by spending a little time with the right reading material. Ultimately, your choice of a gold firm can mean the difference between success and failure as a gold owner.*** Placing Your First Order with USAGOLD-Centennial Precious Metals 1.
