<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 189943, member: 6492&quot;]Howdy,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You mention buying &#039;as close to bullion value as possible&#039;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This more or less precludes Proofs directly from the mint and also rules out gold coins with a numismatic premium.&nbsp; Fine.&nbsp; Buying gold can still be very interesting from a coin collecting perpective - [read:&nbsp; it doesn&#039;t have to be a stack of BU Gold Eagles in a tube in your safe.].</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Others have posted sites like apmex where they show you the various bullion type coins from around the world.&nbsp; You could collect one of the different types from the different countries sort of like collecting silver crowns.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There&nbsp; are also many &#039;bullion&#039; type gold coins from this country that have been minted over the years and you could create a type set and still stay within shouting distance of bullion prices.&nbsp; For example, you could get all the current fractional gold eagles, the buffalos (supposedly coming out with fractionals this year), and then go back and get the fractionals in the liberty series (those without any numismatic premium) and the st. gaudens series.&nbsp; Granted these will not be without some sort of premium over spot price, but by buying common dates, you can minimize the mark up to a point where it should be recoverable.&nbsp; Indeed, with the older gold types, you could buy them slabbed and still stay with common dates in reasonable MS grades and minimize the numismatic premium while helping to insure their later sale.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>just some thoughts,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>peace,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
