<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 24481897, member: 100459&quot;]I guess I have been lucky.&nbsp; My first contact with coins was when I inherited the coins my father left me.&nbsp; After that, I would buy a coin for one of my sets, usually at a Coin Shop.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t buy any gold for about 4-5 years.&nbsp; I wanted to study the coins that were gold.&nbsp; I have a book that I got from a dealer.&nbsp; I bought a 1865 $10 Liberty Head Gold Coin and a 1904 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle.&nbsp; Both were RAW.&nbsp; The dealer sent took them to a coin show and had them graded.&nbsp; the $10 Liberty Head came back from NGC, MS 61, and the 1904 $20 Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle.&nbsp; Boy, this one was a surprise to me and the dealer.&nbsp; It came back UNC DETAILS, Obverse Scratched, total cost of the $20 Gold Coin, $1,325. The $10 Liberty Head came back with a final cost of $725.&nbsp; That was in 2009, and I wouldn&#039;t sell either one.&nbsp; I did buy the MMIX (2009) Ultra High Relief Gold Coin, graded by PCGS MS68. I got the box, book and shipping box and material.&nbsp; I got it for about $1,500 in 2009.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had several people tell me I should sell it.&nbsp; None were to impressed by the grade of MS68.&nbsp; I was, and still am.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
