<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jhonn, post: 293108, member: 5418&quot;]So, I&#039;ve got a question about gold prices here. I&#039;ve read somewhere on here that gold (and I&#039;m guessing silver, too) will probably settle down a bit after the the &quot;Holiday Season&quot; (sometime around Jan. or Feb. I&#039;m guessing). I only have one gold coin in my collection - a 1945 2 Peso restrike from Mexico. I would like to purchase either a 2 1/2 Peso and a 5 Peso coin for my collection (I should be able to get both for around $150), or an Indian Head Quarter Eagle, which I think I could probably find for around the same price. </p><p><br /></p><p>Bullion-wise, I get more bang for the buck with the Mexican coins, as they go for just over their &#039;melt&#039; value (no real numismatic premium), but with the Indian Head, I&#039;ll get the gold and a beautiful coin with numismatic value. I&#039;m still not sure what I will go for, but the real issue is that I don&#039;t have $150 to plop down on some gold. What I DO have, though, are some coins which I can sell for the money. They are:</p><p><br /></p><p>- 1909 S Lincoln cent. VF details, corroded, red patina (possibly PVC damage).</p><p>- 1924 D Lincoln cent, VF.</p><p>- 1924 D Lincoln cent, F.</p><p>- 1950 D Jefferson nickel, very nice AU slider.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is thus two-fold. The first part is, what do you think the overall value of these coins are? Except for the 1909 S, they all have very nice eye-appeal, no scratches or gouges, and even color. Are they &quot;enough&quot; to buy some gold, or rather the gold I want? The second part of the question is, if you think they will bring me enough money, should I sell them now (there&#039;s a coin show coming up in the next few weeks), or wait until the price of gold comes down? I ask because the price of gold and silver seems to influence the pricing of other, non-gold and non-silver coins, and thus it might be better to sell now while gold is up since I might get more for these coins now as opposed to when gold &quot;settles down.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry this is kind of a long post. Your input is most appreciated! :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
