<p>[QUOTE=&quot;claygump, post: 1125005, member: 29689&quot;]Have any of you guys listened to the series of podcasts by Planet Money <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/archives/archive.php?thingId=133252308" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.npr.org/templates/archives/archive.php?thingId=133252308" rel="nofollow">LINK HERE</a> about gold? Very interesting stuff. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a few $3 pieces from the late 1800&#039;s that were passed down. And then interestingly enough back in 2004 when I first got interested in collecting I decided I wanted a gold coin. So I bought a 1oz Eagle. No numismatic value whatsoever. I simply wanted to own a 1oz gold coin. I wanted to feel the weight of it in my hand. Very interesting the psychology of it. </p><p><br /></p><p>So my mainly analytical brian tells me to stay away from gold. It has been on a huge run and like a previous poster stated, you can buy a lot of other interesting coins for what you would spend on a gold &quot;junk&quot; coin............. Still.... its so.........pretty.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://media.npr.org/assets/img/2011/02/18/montagu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Montagu Norman, head of the Bank of England, is recovering from a breakdown aboard a ship when his colleagues back home decide to go off the gold standard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
