<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ThinnPikkins, post: 2225652, member: 32346&quot;]Well I have been in the buying mood for a while so yesterday I picked up my first gold coin! Nothing fancy, got it for 600. [ATTACH=full]436743[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]436744[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Im not really a gold guy, but it looks damn sexy in coin form. </p><p><br /></p><p>So as I hit my lcs, I bought another $100 face of halves and $100 face of quarters, also finally gave in and picked up my 32-d and 32-s to finish of the silver quarter set. Im definitely not happy with the 32-s (looks like someone took some abrasive to it) but it was all he had and it will plug the hole til I find a much better replacement. The 32-d is a little bit worn for my taste also but a hole plugger til I run across better. Anyway, I took the 10 dollar gold into him and had him look at it because I suspected it had been cleaned (which is what I thought when I purchased it, and was fine with) and never had a cleaned coin in my posession. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]436750[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>As we were talking, I asked him if he had any gold to sell, and he says &quot;I dont sell my gold! I buy it and keep it&quot; after 30mins of bugging him, I finally got him to sell me my 1st 1 ounce coin. Again, I am really not into gold coins @ this point in time but they are awesome looking pieces and a lot more meatier in your hand compared to seeing pictures of them on ebay and here. I am completely satisfied with my purchase and I might start studying gold coins soon as i might want more!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]436751[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]436752[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I almost forgot yesterday I stopped @ the bank and picked up some money (bought 19 eagle set from a craigslist kid needing cash) and the teller had 2 halves in her tray. I spotted the silver behind the clad half immediately, i just didnt think it would have been what it turned out to be. So I asked for the 2 halves and handed her a dollar, put them in my pocket and walked to the car. As I get into the car I pull them out and lo and behold, here sits this beauty. I was stunned that this was even in the bank uncirculated and all. I went home and put it in a 2x2.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]436758[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]436759[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Alright Im done for now! I have been posting a lot of this stuff because I remember when I was into all this yrs ago, I loved looking @ piles of silver coins and other peoples hoards! Hopefully someone else appreciates the pictures as much as I did of others on this board, hell I still lurk on this topic just for that reason. Anyway I would love to see some more cool pick ups guys! Enjoy!</p><p><br /></p><p>Carlos[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
