Super nice first gold coin, you did really well! Here's my only New Orleans, little guy 1849 but I like it!
After my first purchase of a gold coin my wifey said, "you weren't as excited about our firstborn ! Don't you think he's more precious?" Welllllll............
It’s intoxicating. I went to the FUN St Gaudens educational seminar on Saturday. After leaving there, wanted to buy (another) St Gaudens! Fortunately I had already spent my money and the gf wasn’t too happy about going back on the floor.
That is true. I started my stash in the 1990’s. And at that time $400.00 gold may as well have been four million dollar gold for me. I was a poor working man with hungry kids. Still managed to grab a piece or two here there and yonder. Religiously carried them to the bank deposit box over the years. Hadn’t been there in a few years but went last week to pull a pice to carry to sell at FUN for walking around money as well as add a few pieces that had been in my safe. I was surprised that I almost couldn’t close the SBD. A good problem to have but it represents a lifetime’s purchases…. Slow, one or two at a time and it really adds up over the course of thirty years. If I can do it, anyone can.
