Mike's ultimate goal is a complete CC set. He is not even a quarter of the way there, many gold pieces are only affordable in genuine grades and...
I'd say this is par for the course on gold. To be fair I have not purchased many non gold coins from Heritage.
:) So are you coming to the Santa Clara show in a couple of months?

Keep em coming. I think though that if you post much more we will have to request a giveaway of one that you post. ;)
