[QUOTE="GoldCoinLover, post: 402221, member: 4336"]Aw, you're very flattering. Thank you :) Heck I'm not rich, I just save my money up and I've been collecting gold coins since I was 10. I'm now 20. When I was 10 I saved up all my birthday money (This was when gold was alot cheaper, around $300 per ounce) and went to the local Gold'n'Coins in La Habra california, and bought my first gold coin, a 1/4 oz gold american eagle. It cost me around $86. After tax it was around $90. I don't know what attracted me to coins, I started out collecting foreign coins. I used to go over to my friends house and look at her coins. When she went to greece she brought me back 2 greek coins. I was elated. I had that 1/4 oz gold piece for many years, and sold it a couple years ago for a $20 MS63 PCGS 1908 No motto saint gaudens. That and alot of other coins to get that saint. I cracked it out, sent it into NGC, and it graded MS64. I took it to the SAME store I bought it as MS63, and showed it to the guy there and he offered to buy it for MS64 money! Still, my dream coin would be to have an early gold US coin. I thought classic head was early gold, but apparently early gold us pre-1834, the capped head and before. These start at around 6K and up. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford one, but who knows![/QUOTE]
