Mike Fuljenz's straight talk on the investment value of gold

With permission from Beaumont Business Journal

Mike Fuljenz, of Beaumont, is not just the head of a thriving gold business with clients throughout the United States- though he certainly is that.
The author, broadcaster and teacher is one of the most universally decorated coin experts of the last 30 years. His 2010 book "Indian Gold Coins of the 20th Century" , has quickly become a key resource for those interested in these beautiful collectibles.

From his many appearances on CNBC and Fox News to his Beaumont radio show to his work guiding journalists as they attempt to navigate the Byzantine world of collectible coins and those who traffic in them, he has become a national figure.

"Mike Fuljenz is the nation's No. 1 coin and bullion expert. No one knows physical precious metals better," is how Franklin Sanders, editor of The Moneychanger, put it.

A school teacher and later principal before making his mark in the world of numismatics, he has remained committed to children and education. But it is his knowledge of the gold market that prompted the Beaumont Business Journal to make Fuljenz the subject of our second BBJ Interview.

4/22/2010 THE EISENHOWER DOLLAR
By Ed Reiter

“I Like Ike!”

It was one of the simplest – and shortest – campaign slogans in the history of U.S. presidential politics. It was one of the most effective, as well.

Of course, its effectiveness derived in large measure from the vast popularity of the man who ran for president on that slogan.

By Ed Reiter

History and math, like oil and water, wouldn’t seem to mix very well. Both subjects figure prominently, though, in the life and times of R.W. “Bob” Julian.
 
2/15/2010 AN INSIGHTFUL RULING
By Ed Reiter

It’s said that justice is blind.
