Echo........

 

Awesome coins, I especially like the 1914-D!!! But now you have gold fever.....and it's hard to shake off! LOL Great additions!

 

all my pictures are turning out crappy, should i try to scan them?

 

Nice coins. Gold fever easy to shake tho. At least for me. Go look at a toned proof trade dollar. Or a draped bust coin. Or a no stars seated. Or a 1793 large cent. Gold who needs it.

 

Wait till morning dear fellow.......

 

I'd have gold fever if I could afford draped or capped bust gold. I think the chief is the only one among us collecting it. His coins always make me drool

 

yeah someday i want a small eagle $10. figure i better start saving now

 

2 nice gold coins congrats. maybe June is when I want to start my gold type set with a nice $2.50 indian coin.

 

Sweet coins. I have to second the sentiments towards the capped and draped bust coins also. But, there is something very alluring about gold.

 

That's a good start young man. Your 14-D has a mintage of 448,000 but apx. 35,000 have survived in all grades, per Coin Facts. More than a few of the '14-D coins were turned into the 1911-D counterfeits.

My first gold piece was a 1915 Indian.

JLogan, do you know why they quit making the Indian Quarter and Half Eagles?

 

As the name implies, oldgoldguy, me thinks ye did just fine. Me just wishes me could see yer goooold.

 

Gold....I feel a fever coming on just looking at this thread!

 

no, why?

 

The public thought the incuse design captured and spread germs. It's in the Red Book.

 

I don't believe this is why they stopped making. The public was nervous about it at first, but according to wiki..." With the economic collapse which started the Depression, the quarter eagle was not called for in commerce, and the Mint halted production."
