I went to a coin show this past weekend in Portland, Or. I was on a mission to get a St Gaudens double Eagle. I took the advice I got here. To buy a slabbed coin, the best I could afford, and avoid the most common dates. And this is the coin I bought, (after bugging a dozen dealers numerous times). Thanks for all the input I got here, JonySky It is an 1908 graded MS64 by NGC http://upload.pbase.com/edit_gallery/jonysky/mystery_coins

tis ok speedy I first thought the same thing. Congrats on your first gold!!! I'm still "getting there" myself. And I'm looking for the right double eagle to fill the slot. Thanks for sharing
Yep, nice coin, I should have got one 3-4 years ago when the prices were alot lower........to high now!
wonderful coin. i too am looking to purchase my first gold coin. i am also looking to start collecting the new 2006 gold issues from the mint when they become available. am i alone is this excitement, i have not seen too many comments regarding these?
I started out with gold 3 years ago withb a 1912 $2.5 gold for $155.00 and now look at the price I think the new red book lists it at $220.00 ???
I too have just gotten my first gold coin and man theres nothing like it.Sky your not alone on the 2006.I'm waiting as well.I do have a question tho,are all eagles going to be .9999 or just 1 type?Havent been able to find out anything from the mint site either.
i posted this in another thread: i second that. i have read a few things. here is an older article. here is another. from what i gather, the old series will remain unchanged with the introduction of the new series. no details as of yet on the desgins as far as i know. hope that helps. acutally, here is a link from the mint. hope that helps more.
