Message:: [QUOTE="susannyny, post: 1218598, member: 31977"]Thank you for the feedback so far. I'm open to learning and  making/changing my direction as I go so I wouldn't say that I'm  insistent on solely purchasing coins (I'm actually purchasing some small amounts of Silver Bullion although I've put that on hold temporarily). As for the Saint Guadens purchase, I felt  that the 1911-S MS64 Saint Guardens was a decent buy based  on the fact that that particular mintage was around the middle of all  Saint Guadens mintages (775,000). With that said, I understand that  mintages may not be an entirely appropriate means for evaluating rarity in this coin since many were lost due to melt. That's  neither here nor there.  I'm not trying to defend my purchase as it was  not a very educated decision.  As I previously mentioned, I'm under the  opinion that Gold will continue to rise and thus I do not feel that I  will lose money on this coin.  On the upside, I fulfilled the whim of  owning one of these beauties.  I do have a strong appreciation of certain coins and take personal satisfaction in owning them (I've kept my Dad's Morgan and Peace Dollars). It seems that the route for me to take may be in purchasing some coins that I just really like, and augmenting that with bullion purchases.[/QUOTE]
