<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HappyHighway, post: 2640467, member: 78142&quot;]Folks,</p><p><br /></p><p>I generally pop on here with a question or two once in a while (Though I do read the forums regularly as it is a great venue to learn information).&nbsp; Just for fun, I thought I would post my last purchase of 2016 with my first purchase of 2017.&nbsp; Please feel free to judge, bash, berate or belittle my purchases.&nbsp; I love them and couldn&#039;t be happier.</p><p><br /></p><p>My last purchase of 2016 was an 1882 $5 Half Eagle certified MS-61 by NGC.&nbsp; I paid $375 which is about on par with HA.&nbsp; This is important because though I have some bullion, I have never owned any pre-1933 gold and it was important for me to be pre-1900.&nbsp; The 1882 is great because its so readily available in Mint State condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>My first purchase of 2017 was an 1872 Two-Cent Piece certified F-12 by PCGS.&nbsp; I paid $475 which again is about on par with HA but significantly lower than PCGS price guide (For whatever that&#039;s worth...).&nbsp; This is important for me because, aside from the 1867 D/D, it completed my Two-Cent collection.&nbsp; I do have 3 I will be upgrading but I consider it complete nonetheless.&nbsp; Of note, there were only 65,000 coins minted this year and PCGS estimates 2,000 have survived with roughly 600 certified.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for whatever you have to say and feel free to share yours as well!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]582464[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]582465[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]582467[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
