Message:: [QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8362215, member: 100459"]I didn't have a solid background in coins when I started.  I'm not sure what it was, but I found a friend that had a small shop in a city about 25 miles from my home.  I was driving blind when I went to his shop.  He educated me on gold coins, as much as he could, but I did buy some coins.  I had read about the 1907 High Relief Gold coin, but that was quite a distance from the retirement pay I get from the state.  Anyway, I did get some nice gold coins from him.  A few months later, he called me and told me he had some gold coins that I might like.  When I saw the MMIX Ultra High Relief Gold Coin, I was sold for about $1,500, however, it had been graded as an MS68.  Several people have told me that I should sell it, but they didn't think I would get my money back.  I'm not sure what it's worth now, but it's worth a great deal to me.  I do have a passion for the American Liberty High Relief Gold coins now.  I got the 2017, missing the beautiful 2015, and then I got the 2019 and the 2021.  The 2021 is one of the best of the lot for me that is.  I love that horse.  Anyone have an idea of the 2023 American Liberty will be?[/QUOTE]
