<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brit in Texas, post: 388073, member: 12971&quot;]Ok, here&#039;s the story: Starting last September I decided to pick up every coin I see on the street, or near a grocery checkout etc. I&#039;ve also been checking any coinstar machines and vending machines I come across. It&#039;s suprising how quickly all this can add up! I&#039;ve put everything I&#039;ve found into a big mason jar and decided a few months ago I was going to use the proceeds to buy my first gold coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>After 9 months I&#039;ve managed to get more than $100!!! As of today I&#039;m at $104.94. I figure it&#039;s about time to start shopping. </p><p><br /></p><p>SO, I&#039;m in the market for a gold coin but my knowledge of world gold is very scant. Silver and base coins I know but gold I&#039;ve not been able to afford so haven&#039;t researched. Anyway, I&#039;d like to buy a coin that meets the following criteria and would appreciate your advice as to where I should be looking.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) about 1/10 oz (fits my $100 ish budget)</p><p>2) priced within around 20% of spot</p><p>3) made for circulation and NOT as a bullion coin (so probably dated somewhere up to the 20&#039;s or 30&#039;s)</p><p>4) a design which is as pleasing as possible</p><p><br /></p><p>As for grade I&#039;d be happy with a nice VF or XF. I&#039;d also prefer to buy raw so my money goes further. I&#039;m not really looking for a specific coin on ebay or a specific seller, more just the series that you think best matches my wants. I&#039;m flexible as far as country etc, the design is most important to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully in the next few weeks I&#039;ll have a nice, effectively free gold coin to photograph and show to you all <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance for the help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
