<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2802672, member: 15588"]Though I agree with those that say "buy what brings you the most satisfaction," I'll give some of my thoughts and preferences on the choice. Yes, the 1909VDB has a track record and has remained a sought after collectible for decades now. None of that, of course, guarantees that it will remain so. It all depends on collector demand, which could really tank at any time. Such a coin will probably never be <i>valueless</i>, but if times get rough (and many argue that they probably will, but nobody knows the future), people will probably stop paying premium prices for collectibles. Also, the 1909VDB has a value scope of coin collectors or maybe even collectors of "rare things." Though I don't have any real data on this, gold likely has a wider value scope, meaning a larger amount of people would likely buy a chunk of gold from you than the 1909VDB. Gold is an established market investment commodity and collector coins are sort-of an investment but mostly collectibles. Given the preferences stated so far, remember that you asked a group of coin collectors to choose a chunk of gold over what this community sees as a rare and desired thing. It would be interesting to ask the same question to a different group. As for me, I would take the gold over the cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
