[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1596006, member: 13307"]In my order of preference: 1) Save the money, do more roll searching, buy a bigger gold coin as close to spot as you can get it (you CAN find them) or a 5 oz ATB puck for as close to spot as you can get it - you want something impressive...these are HUGE coins. I've decided to put my roll searching money into a collection of these. 2) Buy the 1/10 oz gold now for as close to spot as you can get it. Always cool to be able to say you HAVE a gold coin. Then you can get another one. Then a bigger one. 3) Buy older 90% that you can cherry pick for extra varieties/extra money. I save all the lower mintage stuff (like 1955 D Washington Quarters) that are just not that easy to find... Of course, I recently traded my last group of 40% halves for a 1936 S San Diego PCGS MS64...so that's what I actually DID with mine. But that's before I planned to put together an ATB 5 oz set. FWIW, one good thing about Salt Lake City is that it's ALWAYS easy to sell silver halves (90% and 40%) for full melt. Every recent listing I've posted on KSL has sold within an hour and had multiple people on the "waitlist."[/QUOTE]
