From the earliest humans to the classical Romans to the modern civilizations of today, gold has always played a substantial role in wealth preservation. Its brilliance, luster, malleability, and resistance to tarnish made gold the ideal material for ancient jewelry, household wares, and eventually currency. Trust between buyer and seller has always been a crucial component of the gold industry throughout the ages. Today at Mountainaire U. S. Coins & Currency, we continue that tradition of trust.
