First Gold was an 1857-S quarter Eagle clean ex-jewerly that I go for near melt


and because Candy is fun SP canadain Gold Sovereign




as for the entry please give it to an young collector I don't know who to nominate lol

 

I have never owned a gold coin. When my mother died at age 94, she willed a $2.50 gold coin to my daughter. The coin passed through my hands to my daughter, so I never owned the darn thing. It sure has gone up in value in the past few years, but my daughter will never give it up!

 

I bought a 1/4 ounce gold panda in a bezel that was promptly commandeered by my better half.

Does that constitute ownership? If not she may still be in the running.

My first recollection of a first gold coin was a half ounce eagle when I was invited to be part of a coin collecting club system drawn up by a group of investment people and lawyers.
By system I'm pretty sure it was a type of MLM pyramid thing.
Well that's what the .gov said when they Shut it Down shortly after I got in the coin club.

Invest X amount of $ and get 3 other like minded individuals to do the same.
At which point when you qualified and enough time had passed a club member was given a check to reinvest for a half ounce 1986 gold eagle coin and 3 1986 silver eagle coins...
When enough members were involved and enough time passed another check was supposed to come around to reinvest in a full ounce gold eagle coin and 6 silver eagle coins, and so on.

It seems someone Allegedly got a check to reinvest out of turn and that caused some other member(s) to complain to someone who called in question the club system and the .gov got involved
Now with the .gov involvement, the club spending investors money on lawyers and bureaucratic red tape, caused the club to be disbanded AFTER the member reinvested the check but BEFORE the member was to receive the ONE full ounce gold eagle and 6 silver eagle coins.
That Sucks...the .gov claimed that the club was operating like, LIKE a type of MLM pyramid thing and at some point wouldn't be able to fulfill the clubs obligation to all the members.
The money invested was more than the coins were worth and deemed it a be UN sustainable.

In other words didn't like the competition
Not political... Many years have passed and what do you know...the coins ARE worth more than the money invested

On A Side Note:
Does anyone want to start a coin club I'm pretty sure I still have the startup paperwork filed away somewhere.

 

@Jersey magic man you have my proxy vote! I've got a "midas touch" about me sometimes, so hopefully that can turn into something good for you. Good luck and godspeed to you!
