<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPeace$, post: 1856981, member: 42727&quot;]Doug,</p><p><br /></p><p>The absolute worst thing you can do when buying any coin is to be impatient.&nbsp; It will lead to buying coins you will later regret.&nbsp; I also visit another website that has a ton of very experienced collectors.&nbsp; To a man, they all will say this hobby is not an investment vehicle.&nbsp; The key to having coins that increase in value, maintain their value or that can withstand downward pricing trends, are to own nice, problem free coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buy the best trade dollar you can find that meets your budget.&nbsp; My recommendation is to look for an XF-AU coin.&nbsp; Look on your grey sheet and identify the year in which the XF and AU are least expensive.&nbsp; Focus on that date (1875, 76 or 77)&nbsp; When you look at AU coins, often times you can find a better example than one graded Ms60-62.&nbsp; And you don&#039;t have to pay the extra for an MS coin.&nbsp; My first two gold pieces are AU coins and they are very nice.&nbsp; I preferred them to many low grade MS coins I looked at and the price was much more affordable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Joe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
