Doylestown, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/09/2016 -- The leading online retailer of coin collection cases and a myriad of other numismatic supplies, SAFE® Collecting Supplies, has released a write-up via their website discussing gold. Considering that many of the company's collectors possess gold coins in their collections, the article came in light of the recent shift in stock and precious metal markets as a result of the recent presidential election of Donald Trump.

"Regardless of your political position, there's no denying that the markets are a thing to keep an eye on these days," said Kurt Braun, founder and president of SAFE® Collecting Supplies. His article set out to give a basic overview on the history of the gold standard, and why coin collections are affected by the gold market.

Braun's article discusses how the gold standard made sense in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but had to be abandoned by 1971 due the United States' economy becoming far too big to attach itself to limited commodity such as gold.

The second portion of the article delves into why coin collections are affected by the gold market. Gold coins act as vessels on which to store raw gold investments, and as their value adjusts, so do the values of other kinds of collectible coins.
