<p>[QUOTE="MikeKai, post: 3300321, member: 100435"]I appreciate everyone's advice! I completely understand where everyone is coming from. 100%. Just for me, I do not like the slabs, there are no coin shows where I live, and I can not look at any in person. I did the math, and to buy a full set of AUs from a good dealer online would have cost me about $8000-$8500. Buying a full set of graded coins MS-64-MS-65, two MS-63s, one MS-62, and one MS-61 cost me right at $4000 more. That's not a small amount of money, but I can live with that. I know they will be nice, and that's about 3oz of gold. I will live, and I will be very happy with my collection. I am actually thinking that I may do a second set of all AUs in a month or so just for fun. Who knows. Anyways, thank you for the advice. it is all true and from knowledge in the hobby, but I'm not concerned with resale. I want these to look nice for me, and honestly I have many more much larger investments that I already plan on using one day. The gold is purely for fun, and can become my future kid's "problem". I'll post pictures of the set when it is complete![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
