A general rule of wholesale coin pricing is that the more valuable the gold coin is, the smaller the profit margin needs to be, percentage-wise. If a coin will sell for $15,000, a dealer can make a nice profit if he buys the coin for $14,000, but he might have this coin in is inventory (and his investment in it tied up) for a long time before someone who can afford $15,000 a pop for coins comes along.
Buy gold coins.

The first rule is � no matter the coin � never use harsh abrasives like silver polish. Abrasives scrape the top layer off of whatever they are polishing, and in the case of a coin, that top layer contains all of its detail and hence its numismatic value. Polishing in this way will leave the surface of the coin covered with tiny pits and scratches, not exactly conducive to preserving the coin's value. If you clean the coin using an abrasive, you'll get a shiny coin, but it will not be a coin that collectors are interested in. To see for yourself, try it on a penny, especially one from before 1982 (when they were 95% copper). The coin will be shiny and clean, but if you compare it to a similar coin, you will see that it also looks unnatural. Shiny, yes, but it will not look like it looked naturally when it was minted. Collectors eschew coins that don't look natural.

South Africa minted its first gold coin called the Krugerrand in 1967. This coin has no face value but merely stands as a symbol. It is made of 1 ounce of gold and can be purchased for investment purposes. Since then other countries also minted bullion coins. Canada made the Gold Maple Leaf in 1979 and Australia made the Nugget in 1981. These two are much more popular than the South African coin because of its 24 carat purity.

Whatever method you try to clean a coin, it's best to test it on a non-valuable coin of similar metal first. That way if a certain method does have bad effects, you'll find out before you ruin a valuable coin. I discovered this much to my chagrin when cleaning a batch of 1943 steel pennies in an acid solution. I'll never know if it would have worked, because I had the pennies in a galvanized steel container and the acid, combined with the galvanization, fused the pennies into one worthless chunk.

Gold coins have had a very long period as a primary form of money, only falling into disuse in the early 20th century. Most of the world stopped making gold coins as currency by 1933. However, gold-coloured coins (not made of real gold) have made a comeback in many currencies. Furthermore, many countries continue to make legal tender gold coins, but these are primarily meant for collectors and investment purposes and are not meant for circulation.
