Free Bullion Investment Guide
Thanks You for Visiting!

My name is Steven Warrenfeltz, and I created the this guide for those who are looking for honest information about investing in precious metals bullion.

The other side of this guide is my way of fulfilling a promise to a childhood friend who died of cancer.

That promise was to do whatever I could to support those who are Battling Cancer (researchers/patients), and in doing so, try to help rid the world of this horrible disease.

The guide is my effort to make a bigger impact against the disease by combining what I love, 'investing,' while fulfilling a promise.

The Free Bullion Investment Guide has three missions:

The 1st mission is to be an Honest place on the web that provides you with the Best Bullion Market Reference Material.

The 2nd mission is to be an Advocate for Gold Nanoparticle Cancer Research.

The 3rd mission is to Support those who are Battling Cancer through The Angel of Healing Cancer Fund.

Inscribed along the top of the gold coin, is "REPUBLIK OSTERREICH," which is German for the "Republic of Austria."

Under the great organ, is the gold bullion coins weight "1/2 UNZE" and purity of "GOLD 999.9."

The coin's Year of Issue is inscribed directly under the weight and purity of the gold coin.

Inscribed under the year of issue, at the very bottom of the coin, is its Face Value of "50 EURO."

Thomas Pesendorfer designed the reverse side of the Austrian Gold Bullion Coin.

The design is a combination of musical instruments that make up the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

The text "WIENER PHILHARMONIKER" ("Vienna Philharmonic"), is displayed across the top of the gold coin.

Before joining the European Union in 2001, the Philharmonic gold bullion coins were valued in schillings. From 2002 to the present day, the bullion coin has been valued in euros (€).
