<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7576185, member: 100459&quot;]I got the 2016 Proof Gold Buffalo coin.&nbsp; It is beautiful.&nbsp; I keep it in it&#039;s box and I take it out every once in a while.&nbsp; My favorite set is the 2016 Gold Mercury coin, the Standing Liberty gold coin, and the Walking Liberty Gold Coin.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a lot of gold coins, but the ones I got when I first started collecting, I got help from a local dealer.&nbsp; The only thing I bought when I first started, was the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin.&nbsp; It had all of the shipping boxes that came with the coin from the mint.&nbsp; The box is beautiful, but the slab was too big to put in it.&nbsp; Anyway, the guy that bought it from the Mint sent it into PCGS and it came back MS-68.&nbsp; He was so miffed, that he just about gave it away.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what the PCGS grade of MS-68 goes for now.&nbsp; I think I paid about $1,300 for it.&nbsp; I may have to go back to the dealer to see if he has a record.&nbsp; I won&#039;t ever sell it.&nbsp; I bought a 1895 $10 Liberty that came back MS-61 and a 1904 $20 Liberty.&nbsp; On the invoice, he put MS-61 for both of them.&nbsp; I was pleased, until they came back.&nbsp; The $10 Liberty was OK.&nbsp; I paid $675 for it.&nbsp; I paid $1,275 for the $20 Liberty.&nbsp; It came back UNC Details - Obverse Scratched.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think I will sell any of my gold.</p><p>Anyway, thanks to all of you for teaching me alot about collecting.&nbsp; I shouldn&#039;t have started collecting until I read the Red Book and some others, especially about gold coins, Morgans and other books that I bought after my initial sticker shock about gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
