Howdy Andy... Gold is Gold right?? Only the "numismatic value" determines the high $$$$$ for a rare coin would'nt you say? I no expert either..just an avid gold collector. If you purchased the gold coins at a value less than the current gold price, I would say..Yep!! You made some $$$ on the increase in gold value, and that is always a good thing... Good hunting...
