<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 4515385, member: 105098&quot;]I don&#039;t personally care when it comes to gold coins. I got triggered in 1995 over that silver eagle only in the gold 4 coin set which I couldn&#039;t afford at the time, and from that point just realized there&#039;s going to be some things that aren&#039;t meant for me. And ERP S mint silver eagle, I gave it a shot I can afford to try and buy it if I got lucky, a limited edition gold coin... nope. I could probably afford to do it, but I don&#039;t collect gold and it really has no appeal to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t collect palladium or platinum either. I&#039;m not knocking it if it&#039;s what you collect, but we all gotta draw our lines somewhere. They could make 5 pieces of a palladium whatever and I won&#039;t be a buyer. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have no problem with them making artificial rarities. Mostly because we need some sort of something in the hobby to generate interest. Yeah, maybe I miss on something I want, that&#039;s ok in my opinion. The hobby in general needs a lot more buzz and generating interest and if these things work, I&#039;m for it. As far as this gold coin, I don&#039;t think there are many American Gold Eagle completist&#039;s to begin with so maybe just about 2000 give&#039;s people something to chase and desire that might be worth more than spot.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hunt the W quarters, I got lucky and bought the 2019 ERP S SAE. My joy in collecting is really building my cent, nickel, dime, and quarter sets from circulation that I&#039;ve been working on off and on for the last 35 years.&nbsp; That&#039;s what makes me happy with my collection, not what it&#039;s worth or how rare something may be but everyone is different. I have bought coins before still do but it doesn&#039;t give me the satisfaction that opening rolls of coins from the bank and popping coins into the little holes in the with an folders gives me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even that ERP 2019S SAE, still sitting in its mailing package and unopened, tossed in a drawer and forgotten 6 months later, meanwhile I&#039;m Jones&#039;in for the banks to go back to normal so I can hunt regularly again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
