The southwestern state of New Mexico, one of the least densely populated states, is known for its unique cultural and artistic heritage. New Mexico is home to the highest percentage of Hispanics and second-highest percentage of Native Americans in the country.
The state has a long history of silver and gold mining; centuries ago, many explorers believed present-day New Mexico to be the location of a famed city of immense treasure. Today, both gold and silver in the form of jewelry, coins, and bullion remain popular investment options among New Mexico residents.
