<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny54321, post: 757509, member: 13342&quot;]I essentially agree with leadfoot, as I am a bit of a goldbug...BUT, the great thing about coin collecting is that you can have the best of both worlds! A lot of the gold coins have a lot of both intrinsic and numismatic value! Saint Gaudens gold coins are some of the most beautiful coins period! The incuse indians are nice too. If gold goes down, they will still retain a fair amount of numismatic value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>From there, you can move up the chain to balance your gold collection with what I see as several &quot;levels&quot; if you will.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. Common Date Gold Type(AU Saint/Indian/Liberty etc.)-Mostly valued at melt-20% above melt.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. Common Classic Head Gold(XF-ish) Or Mint State Lib/Saint( value 2x-4x melt)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. AU $3 Gold or Dahlonega/Charlotte Liberty quarter/half eagle Gold(8x-15x melt currently)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>4. XF Capped/Draped Bust $5 gold and key date indian gold(1909-O $5, 1911-d $2.5)(20x-30x melt).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These are major generalizations obviously, but as a gold type collector, my goal is to have some in all of these categories(still have work to do on this). Whatever you do, stick with certified coins as much as possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
