<p>[QUOTE=&quot;midas1, post: 771870, member: 21309&quot;]I started collecting gold US coins thirteen monthsd ago, then I stumbled across this site.</p><p>Becuase I don&#039;t know what I&#039;m doing and have the wisdom to know it I&#039;ve learned a heck of a lot from the members of the bullion form.I&#039;ve bought all of the gold coins from the mint or slabbed (graded)from monaco,APMEX.com&nbsp; or Moderncoins.com.&nbsp; Through blind luck and this form I managed to keep my head above water and had a great time doing it.&nbsp;&nbsp; List price and gold bullion prices I&#039;m up around $1,500.00.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also, check coinflation.com and buy common silver coins for less then melt value. sometimes way&nbsp;&nbsp; less than melt value.&nbsp; This winter, after I retire, I&#039;ll go through them for collector value.&nbsp;&nbsp; I recently discovered some very old whitman coin folders I had as a kid and will probably fill them.</p><p>Next I&#039;m going to buy a portable accurate precious metal scale and I ordered the grey sheets.&nbsp; If you&#039;re interested in coins, not just bullion buy yeoman&#039;s red/blue books. Get the redbook in spiral back and blue book if available in spiral back.&nbsp; This books will give a &quot;ball park&quot; price but dated.&nbsp; I think the 2010 edition is based on 2008 prices. </p><p><br /></p><p>What an obsessive hobby this is.&nbsp; BTW, my first question in this forum was very similar to yours. I went from a bullion investment guy to reawakening an old hobby and having a great time along the way.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The redbook has a section titled &quot;commeratives.&quot;&nbsp; Check it for some beautiful coins, including gold coins.&nbsp; I like the saint guADENS coins old and contemporary,buffalos, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I would&#039;ve stayed a bullion guy this all would be a big yawn.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
