<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 8535269, member: 76194&quot;]For a few years I abandoned modern coin collecting and got into ancient coins, which was a lot of fun and I look back fondly on, but after getting to the point where I scratched that itch, I decided it was time for a fresh start and sold my collection off. After giving US stamps a try, and I&#039;m still slowly collecting them, I decided I wanted to dip my feet back into another old hobby of mine, stacking precious metals.</p><p><br /></p><p>As part of some recent purchases, I came across my first pre-33 gold coin sitting in the display case of a bullion dealer near my house. I&#039;m guessing probably AU-55 or so? Anyway, I got it at melt value +1% since I&#039;ve built a good relationship with the dealer and asked him to let me have a win as I felt I&#039;ve earned one. I think the price was a good deal regardless of condition. I thought I&#039;d show her off here since you guys might appreciate this stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1508043[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1508044[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It looks better with the naked eye than it does with my cheapo phone camera. But either way, I am not getting this to try and grade or slab, just gold content and a little bit of fun factor of owning old gold, and being able to push the price down was appealing too. Enjoy![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
