<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 120477, member: 2486&quot;]Hello Ryan...</p><p>While you have seen some honest post and the opinions of others that have some experience in this and passed along some solid advice, you must consider this!</p><p><br /></p><p>1. What is your objective</p><p>2. What is you risk threshold?</p><p>3. What coin series would you be interested in collecting?</p><p>4. What coins have you studied?</p><p>5. Are you investing for the long term?</p><p>6. Do you have children you are investing for as in when you pass on?</p><p>7. Have you researched the marketplace?</p><p>8. Do you or are you prepared for proper storage of these coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally have some&nbsp; different viewpoints on so called Gold Bullion Coins! American Eagles in particular. I have been collecting these for many years now during good gold time and low gold time as far as the $$$ of gold itself. If you look on the mints website you will find mintages for&nbsp; both proof and uncirculated Gold Coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am 14 coins away from completing the entire American Gold Eagle Series and let me be the first to tell you that the most valued denomination of these coins is the 1/2 oz uncirculated gold eagles! Hands down! Try finding them..no way it has taken me years to finish the 1986-2006 1/2 oz coins. The key dates for this denomination is 1989, 1990 and 1991 try finding those and paying just a little over melt! NO way in the World that will happen. The same goes for all of this series...there are some 1/4 oz gold going for&nbsp; near $400per coin. Granted that most 90% of my collection is PCGS MS69...even if these coins are rated as bullion they carry a numismatic price tag! The 1991 1/2 oz AGE in MS 69 will cost you near $1300.00 if you can find one!</p><p>The point I am trying to make is this...discover what it is you want to collect, eat,sleep and drink it! Knowledge is power! Ask others opinions and you will find a thousand different likes and dislikes..that is what makes coin collecting so much fun! Everyone has their own style! I know guys on here that have some of the most beautiful coins in the World! It is what makes them happy to have, hold and collect.</p><p>Do what makes you feel right and learn everything you can about what you want to accomplish. Always buy the key dates first, they are the most expensive for any coin series you want to collect.</p><p>I have just recently completed the 1/10 oz American Platinum Eagle&nbsp; coins in both proof and uncirculated all MS and PRF69 PCGS...that took me just over 8 months...the rarer ones are later date coins like 2004 and 2005.</p><p>I hope this helps you out..remember, there are some very knowledgeable people here and they also have their preferences, just like me..my entire motivation is collecting for my 4 yr old son to have it better than I did one of these days! :loud: Find your passion and go for it!!</p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
