<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 5131027, member: 100459"]I almost choked when I looked at the first statement showing 132 for the MS 68. Then I looked farther down. The history of my 2009 is that someone bought it from the Mint, and then had it graded. He didn't like grade, so he sold it to a local dealer for a little of $1,000. I paid $1,300 for it as it was my first purchase of a gold coin, plus I was a novice, at the time it seemed a good deal. My dealer was direct, telling me that the coin would be questionable by many collectors. I bought it anyway. It will never leave my greedy hands as long as I'm alive. My son will be my only survivor, unless I die before my wife. I've told her that if I should die first, sell it only if she needs the money (she will never have that problem). My son, nor my wife is interested in my collection. I may leave them all to ANA.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
