<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2363002, member: 112"]I thought of something that I probably should have included - why I carried a 1 oz gold coin in pocket for many years. First of all because it was cool. Secondly because I had never known or even heard of anyone else who did it, and I still haven't. Thirdly because whenever "I'll flip ya for it" situations would arise, and I made sure a lot of them did, it just doesn't get any better than having a 1 oz gold coin to flip. And fourth, because over years those gold coins that I carried in my pocket were directly responsible for stimulating interest in coin collecting and they brought a great many new collectors into the hobby. </p><p><br /></p><p>Think about it, a large gold coin is a great ice breaker and conversation piece. Most Americans aren't even aware that the US mints gold coins, (more so back then than today maybe). So when you show them one with a modern date on it, it is something of a thing of wonder and amazement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
