<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DrStrangelove, post: 5914, member: 793&quot;]This thread is right up my alley as I&#039;ve been thinking of picking up a gold coin or two for myself for speculation.&nbsp; Up till now, I&#039;ve stuck to silver bullion, which I buy mostly in 10oz bars for a few cents over spot.&nbsp; Most of it I bought a few years ago for $50&gt;$55 ; which I now can sell for around $80, (but I&#039;m holding out till silver (hopefully!) goes up a bit more.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, one time I went to my dealer and he was low on silver so he sold me a couple of gold coins:</p><p><br /></p><p>1894 Austria 20 Cor.&nbsp; .19604 (says XF on card)</p><p>1903 Russia 5 Rub.&nbsp; &nbsp; .1245&nbsp;&nbsp; (says AU on card)</p><p><br /></p><p>I forget what I paid for them, but it must have been close to spot gold at the time or I wouldn&#039;t have taken them.&nbsp; Are these considered a type of bullion since they are not very rare and can be bought close to spot? </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW One problem though: I have gotten slightly attached to them (and I thought I had a heart of stone).&nbsp; Instead of turning them over for a quick profit, I may give them to my little neice for her birthday.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
