Message:: [QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1498969, member: 37839"]I am getting close to the limit of what I can spend for a few months.  A lot of my recent buying was from sold collections two years ago, and last year--I sold a ton of gold that has been in  my possession, and the family's overall last year when gold was at about $1200.  Yes, I probably should have waited,but the gold was bought years ago, at a fraction of that price (some of it as low as $180-200 and even lower).It was nice to have gold since the late 70's-early 80s.  So, this is the start of my 5th collection, financed a lot by big profits in long term held gold. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Other little secret:  I tend to buy coins that are good values.  With this auction, there were not a ton of bidders (probably due to the Olympics) and the price didn't run up insanely.  I would NOT have paid $500 for a common date Morgan just for a pretty coin, but this was a pretty and reasonably priced coin.  My method is to look for nice stuff and good values, and be patient--that way, my funds go a lot deeper. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
