2008 Gold Coins
We started this page in September 2007, to provide advance and current information about 2008 dated gold coins.
Some of its content may not yet be current, as the page is still in process of editing.
Because different world mints vary considerably in their timing and methods of releasing information, and communication generally, this page should be considered to be in development until 2008 at the earliest. Some of the links from this page may also be in development until sometime in 2008.

2008 Pricing Information
Because of the significant increases in gold bullion prices during recent years, the prices of most newly released 2008 gold coins will be higher than those of 2007.
Some collectors and investors will be unhappy about having to pay more for their new coins, but a more practical approach may be to buy older issues which, in most cases, are still at or below their original issue prices. In many cases these probably represent an unrepeatable buying opportunity. Please see our Gold Proofs & Collectors Coins and Sets Now Bargains page.
