[QUOTE="Pepperoni, post: 840071, member: 5520"][b]Old vs New[/b] The problem with many older coins is many are fakes. Now you have a perfect scenario for passing down coins that came from a known person that lived in a defined time.That being usually a close relative. If not , and you wish to delve into the gold market you need to purchase coins that are graded slabs. They cost more but if your putting cash out you can not afford to take a hard hit. There might not be as many real old gold coins as one might think. Lots were lost to the Government in the confiscation scam. New gold and silver have to be very carefully selected to get key or semi key coins from the mint . This year looks like no one is paying attention to the products offered. I have not seen any thing to date I would buy. So E bay , barter and coin shows seem to be the offerings of the day. The days of finding old coins and naive holders of such are few and far between. This is a great place to garner knowledge for future or current buys ! Watch every thing and everyone. Pep[/QUOTE]
