<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25524136, member: 101855&quot;]If you want to collect gold, [USER=100459]@Jim Dale[/USER], I would consider other sources other than the mint. Their prices have always been high relative to melt, and you can often get better buys on modern mint products years after they were issued. I did that with the commemorative coins sets that used to be issued in the four and six piece wooden boxes years ago (1984 through the 1990s). I got all but a couple of the sets for less than the issue prices. Today I own almost 100 gold coins for less than melt. Their numismatic value is gone because of the high gold price, but I have a lot of gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today things might be different. The economy is so screwed up that I don’t know what to think about gold and silver oriented coins. I have only bought numismatic pieces lately. I’d love to buy a set of the American Gold Eagles with the eagle head on the reverse, but the bullion price scares me off.

Then it drapped to $400 ish.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
