Here's a link to my gold type set which is on the NGC registry. I've been collecting gold type coins since I was in high school in the 1960s. One of the coins in this set is a piece I bought when I was in high school.

I am concerned about the current high price of gold and whether or not it will hold that these levels. I've seen gold when it was $850 an ounce and then fell eventually to under $300. I don't think we will see those days again, but it's got a long way to fall if it goes in that direction.

About the only coins that are selling for close to melt are the common date $20 gold coins, especially the St. Gaudens coins. The rest sell for well over melt.

My G*d that is an astounding set of coins. It's a privilege to visit them.

If you are going to buy any significant pre 1933 U.S. gold, I would strongly recommend that you buy certified coins which have been reviewed by legitimate companies. Counterfeits have been made for as long as there have been coins. There were deceptive counterfeits around when I was collecting in the 1960s. This especially true, but not limited to, the Three Dollar Gold Piece.

Absolutely agree John!! My LCS is multi-generational family-owned, with a brick-front shop and PNG (Professional Numismatic Guild) among other Professional affiliations to boot. The internet faceless-Company sellers and *bay is full of raw cringe-worthy questionable gold coins (some of them in ridiculous "available" quantities).
