You should get all 4 of those, just for a start. It sounds like you really do have a budding appreciation for coins. If you got the MS64 Saint at a fair price, I think that's a fine start, & you did the right thing in getting one in a PCGS slab. And probably any coins over $200--$300 you should get in PCGS or NGC slabs. Of course the $20 Saint will plummet if gold drops by 50%. If you're building a collection for the next 20 years, & love the coins you're buying, you can view price drops as buying opportunities. As a collector, I'd have a huge wish list with your budget. I do like the idea of--"if" you think gold will go up--buying interesting older US or foreign gold coins, British sovereigns even, more "classic" US gold type coins; $5 & $10 liberties, & Indians, etc., instead of more common modern bullion coins.[/QUOTE]
