begging your collective indulgence.... i thought i'd show off my small collection of gold, all of which i picked up this year. i bought the 1/4 oz. prf. eagle and the unc. jamestown $5, as well as a 1/2 sovereign proof. none of them are large or earth-shattering, but i'm happy to be able to pick them up, given the astronomical price of AV. please forgive the "blue hair" syndrome -- that's my scanner picking up the fibers from my "collectors boxes." hope all is well with everyone as we approach the holiday season -- thanks for another informative year on cointalk! v.
