<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldBug999, post: 2466590, member: 78003&quot;]I&#039;m assembling a collection of slabbed MS-64 $20.00 Double Eagles.&nbsp; There are 18 of the St. Gaudens variety that you can buy for under $2,000.00.&nbsp; I plan on collecting all 18 of them.&nbsp; So far, I&#039;ve acquired 5 of them (1908 No Motto), 1911-S, 1924, 1927 and 1928) at an average price of $1,717.00.&nbsp; I see this as a hobby, and also as a store of value in the event of the collapse of our fiat currency system.</p><p><br /></p><p>As with collecting other coin series, you can learn a lot of very interesting things through collecting.&nbsp; For instance, how the mintage of certain San Francisco double eagles rose and fell in response to the California Gold Rush, and why so many of the double eagles are available in mint condition - because they were put in bags and shipped overseas to banks in payment of debts, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Another good book on Gold coins is the &quot;Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, 1795 -1933&quot; by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth.&nbsp; I found a new copy on ebay for $30.00.</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy your collecting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
