<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny54321, post: 764232, member: 13342&quot;]<font face="Arial">I don&#039;t quite know what to call it, but I have managed to combine all of my gold coins into one album, and it&#039;s sort of evolved into what you see here in the pictures. The gold bug bite has branched out in several different ways, but I have still managed to confine itself to one album.</font></p><p><font face="Arial"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial">It started out as the basic 10 coin 7070 type set...then I felt I needed to include the Classic Heads, type 2 dollar, and 3 dollar gold piece. At this point, all of those don&#039;t fit into my 7070 very well, so I bought another 7070 just for gold. The coins I&#039;ve decided to keep certified are velcroed(so you can easily remove them and see the reverse) to the inside of the front cover</font></p><p><font face="Arial"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial">Then I started getting into commemoratives, and realized that I really liked the look of &quot;proof&quot; gold...so I bought another page just for the proofs. </font></p><p><font face="Arial"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial">I also decided that I could potentially acquire a quarter eagle indian set(the only gold series that is affordable). Since I really like those coins, I started after them and have 3 now. </font></p><p><font face="Arial"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial">THEN (whew, are you still awake?), I decided I should collect both &quot;motto&quot; and &quot;no motto&quot;, so I can further extend my basic type set. So another page for that....however, there is not both a &quot;motto&quot; and &quot;no motto&quot; for each of the 10 types, so I realized I need gold hole fillers. The Classic Heads fill some of the gaps, but I need more. Mexican Pesos are close enough in size for the smaller coins, they are very cheap(sell for melt), and have a cool eagle thing on the reverse. So now, I can complete one other &quot;type page&quot; with Classic Heads, mexican pesos and &quot;no motto&quot; gold coins.</font></p><p><font face="Arial"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial">Then I purchased another &quot;motto&quot; $10 eagle( 1926 NGC MS-61) because..........well, I just like them, but dont know how to fit it into a category.</font></p><p><font face="Arial"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial">Now that I have a Dahlonega half eagle on the way, and this is probably going to spawn a half eagle set of the more difficult branch mints( dahlonega, charlotte, and carson city).</font></p><p><font face="Arial"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial">My ultimate goal is to get a draped bust or capped bust gold half(or eventually both) to have as my gold set &quot;key date&quot;....but they are way out of my current price range and I&#039;m certain I will have to sacrifice some coins to buy one.</font></p><p><font face="Arial"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial">Here is the evolved &quot;Gold coin set&quot; as of now. Will the madness ever end??</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
