What size bezel fits a 20 franc rooster or a lucky angel since both are 21mm coins?

While there is a wide range of bezel sizes for turning coins into jewelry, it is difficult to find a 21 mm bezel. APMEX offers a 21.5 mm bezel that a 21 mm coin like the Rooster 20 Franc Gold coin could fit in with some wiggle room. For a snugger fit, you can put a thin “shim” of paper or plastic on the edge of the coin to help fill in whatever space is left to keep the coin in place.  

If you’re flexible, you should check out APMEX’s selection of bezels to see if one could fit another coin you have.  

Quick Guides to Investing

Step 1:

Why Buy Physical Gold and Silver?

If you are concerned about the volatility of the stock market, you’re not alone. The extreme highs and lows of the stock market often lead investors towards safe-haven assets, like bullion. Historically, the Precious Metals market has an inverse relationship with the stock market, meaning that when stocks are up, bullion is down and vice versa.

Step 2:

How Much Gold and Silver Should You Have?

This question is one of the most important for investors to answer. After all, experts suggest limits on how much of any types of investments should go into a portfolio. After deciding to purchase and own Precious Metals and considering how much money to allocate, one can then think about how much and what to buy at any point in time.

Step 3:

Which Precious Metals Should I Buy?

With the frequent changes in the market and countless Precious Metal products available, choosing investments can be difficult. Some want Gold or Silver coins, rounds or bars while others want products that are valuable because of their design, mintage or other collectible qualities. Also, collectors may shop for unique sets and individual pieces for their collections.

Step 4:

When to Buy Gold & Silver

After considering why, how much, and what Precious Metals products to buy, an investor’s next step is when to buy them. This decision requires an understanding of market trends and the impact of economic factors on precious metal prices.
