<p>[QUOTE="Mainebill, post: 2461543, member: 44004"]When I was starting out as a collector I would go to coin auctions with my father. I had usually $50-60 I'd saved up and I'd buy lots of barber dimes and quarters and seated coins and sometimes if I was lucky a bust half or dime usually it was lower grade or problematic stuff but I'd see gold coins sell for $100-$200 or so and think I'd never own any. 30 years later I have several including a couple $20s. And could have a lot more if that was my focus but it's not and I mostly buy gold for resale. I'd love to eventually buy some early bust gold coins but right now I'm too focused on trade dollars and early silver. Some affordable options on gold could be type 1 gold dollars and common date $2.5 liberty of Indian coins in xf-au. Another affordable possibility is British sovereigns I've seen them sell under $200 before. All of the above are available in the $200-250 range[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
