For some of us! It could be a lifetime!

 

There was a time when this was my reality, you never know what the future holds.

 

Gold does not automatically mean super expensive. Scan eBay just for grins and compare some gold coin prices to those of a lot of silver coins.

 

Your absolutely right you can get some pretty old gold for not much of a premium over the actual spot price and its only my first gold because i usually over pay for my silver ones.

 

Bought at a recent coin show.

Beautiful blue toning, would like a glamour shot of this coin done to really capture the toning. In person, appears to have a touch of green, red, and purple also. Gave it my best shot. PM if you can help

 

Beautiful love them.

 

I was in the processing of picking up a few Jeffersons to fill my second album and came across this one. The obverse die cracks caught my eye and being a VAMmer I couldn't walk away.

 

I didn't even need to read your words dave. My eye instantly went to the pre-pre cud lol

 

Kind of ironic isn't it. Coin collecting is the pursuit of the best examples of coinage and here I am looking for defects. VAMming has ruined me...

 

Sounds like you're having a Jean-Claude Damn VAM moment

 

I just picked up this MS62 Barber dime as a type coin. It has some funky obverse toning, not sure if it retoned from a dip or is original, but I like it.

 

1/10 American Eagles aren't very expensive.
Then some pre 1933 Commems aren't too much more after that.

 

Just picked this up. Haven't rec'd it yet so seller's pictures. But a pretty nice looking Walking Liberty Half. What do you think this would grade as ?

 

When I was starting out as a collector I would go to coin auctions with my father. I had usually $50-60 I'd saved up and I'd buy lots of barber dimes and quarters and seated coins and sometimes if I was lucky a bust half or dime usually it was lower grade or problematic stuff but I'd see gold coins sell for $100-$200 or so and think I'd never own any. 30 years later I have several including a couple $20s. And could have a lot more if that was my focus but it's not and I mostly buy gold for resale. I'd love to eventually buy some early bust gold coins but right now I'm too focused on trade dollars and early silver. Some affordable options on gold could be type 1 gold dollars and common date $2.5 liberty of Indian coins in xf-au. Another affordable possibility is British sovereigns I've seen them sell under $200 before. All of the above are available in the $200-250 range

 

I'd go 63+ great looking reverse. Can't tell if there is any wear on her left hand.

 

I also got this. been looking for a 1916/1917 in good condition for an affordable price for a while. Should I get this graded / conserved? What do you think it would grade for ?
