<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8538200, member: 100459&quot;]My father left me some coins (not worth much, most of them).&nbsp; Anyway, I started studying coins then, reading books from reputable authors.&nbsp; Anyway, I contacted a local seller that had a small shop.&nbsp; He only had a few Pre-33 gold coins.&nbsp; They were both Liberty gold coins, one a double eagle and the other an eagle.&nbsp; I had read in books that it would be best to have gold coins graded, so I talked to the dealer and he said he was going to a show the next week and he would be glad to have them graded.&nbsp; I think it cost me about $30 each to have them graded by NGC.&nbsp; When he returned, he was a little embarrassed about the grade of the double eagle.&nbsp; It came back a details coin because the obverse was scratch on the face.&nbsp; The eagle was graded MS61.&nbsp; He offered to buy them from me at what I paid if I didn&#039;t want them. I decided to keep them.&nbsp; I bought the 2019 (MMIX) Ultra High Relief from him.&nbsp; He told me that the previous owner didn&#039;t want it because it graded &quot;only&quot; MS68.&nbsp; I knew that even at MS68, it was a good coin.&nbsp; I got it for $1,250.&nbsp; The double eagle cost me $1,000 and the eagle cost me $600.</p><p>Sometimes you&#039;re lucky and sometimes you get stuck.&nbsp; I&#039;ve done pretty well with my gold.</p><p>Take your time buying gold coins and find a dealer that you like and has a good reputation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
