[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 108158, member: 3011"]Two years ago I was close to starting a collection of a few $10 liberties in VF condition. I wanted a few gold coins but didn't necessarily want bullion coins or coins priced well above bullion value. But when I spoke to two local dealers about it, they both told me it was a bad idea so I abandoned the idea and moved on to other things. I was influenced by their greater level of expertise. One pushed MS63-64 Saints graded by TPGs. The other preferred proof AGE coins in the mint packaging. I didn't buy either, partly out of confusion about what to do. Lately I was thinking I was on the right track back then and might go back to it. I might start by looking for one VF $20 and one VF $10 liberty that looks good at a bullion coin price. I'm not a huge fan of uncirculated coins and can be just as happy owning something old and historical where the gold content determines much of the value. If anyone thinks this is a bad idea, let me know so I don't start; and let me know why.[/QUOTE]
