<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 203457, member: 5454&quot;]Well I can add a few comments to stall off your decision further!</p><p>First, you can never go wrong with an American coin.&nbsp; If you check out the resale values and investigate the demand for the maple leaf; you may come to the conclusion I have.&nbsp; That is; even though it is purer and is a very attractive piece,&nbsp; is it really as liquid?&nbsp;&nbsp; You may find that the resale dollar amount is no better than an&nbsp; AGE and you may find there is less demand for non-US Gold.</p><p>That said, I will say I broke that rule with my first purchase ( a Krugerrand).&nbsp; The South African Krugerrand was one of the first bullion coins and it is widely recognized.&nbsp; It can be purchased a little cheaper.</p><p>My next purchases were one tenth ounce AGEs, a quarter ounce AGE and two proof tenth ounce AGEs.</p><p>It was after those purchases that I bought a FAKE 1925D 2.5 dollar gold Indian.&nbsp; The jewler scumbag took it back and refunded my money, no questions asked.</p><p>But from that point onward I bought only graded and slabbed coins.&nbsp; I got a nice one tenth ounce AGE graded MS-69 by NGC for $75.00&nbsp; Now that&#039;s a rather inexpensive way to start off.&nbsp; When resale time comes, I&#039;m sure it will sell no problem.&nbsp; I can reccommend a good seller on ebay by the name of Goldstar.</p><p>She only does 2 auctions a week and only for raw 2006 one tenth ounce gold eagles.</p><p>I got a couple for around $70 each.&nbsp;&nbsp; And here&#039;s more food for thought:&nbsp; I once read that if someone wants to start off buying old US gold coins, begin with a slabbed AU-58.&nbsp; You don&#039;t pay outlandish prices and you still get an old US Gold coin.&nbsp; You don&#039;t get picky with the minute differences in overgrading/undergrading.</p><p>Of course I broke that rule by picking up a 1881 $5 NGC MS-62&nbsp; right off the bat.</p><p>So in my opinion I would stick to slabbed and graded US Gold.&nbsp; I always check several price guides and the current spot price prior to any purchase.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
