<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 708913, member: 9474&quot;]A friend of mine asked me to go through her coin collection and see what she had.&nbsp; She wanted to know if there was anything of value.&nbsp; Besides having an interest in horses and buying every horse coin she found on ebay, she has a very nice small collection of coins.&nbsp; She has nearly every single proof ASE and a bunch of bullion ASEs.&nbsp; She at one time had a complete set of bullion ASEs, but her husband took them in the divorce.&nbsp; She also has some nice modern commemorative coins from the 1990&#039;s plus some nice 1oz AGEs.&nbsp; She has some Morgans and some other random US coins that she picked up here and there. </p><p><br /></p><p>All her foreign coins have horses on them, so as you can imagine, whenever there was a Year of the Horse coin, she bought it.&nbsp; Fortunately for her, she bought a bunch of 1/10oz and 1/2 oz and 1oz gold coins from Australia and China.&nbsp; If nothing else, she has the gold in them. And to think, she got some of them for really good deals.&nbsp; She kept the receipts to some of them and I noted anywhere between $450-600 for 1 oz gold Australian and Chinese coins! </p><p><br /></p><p>But what made me sick to my stomach was that she bought 5....and I repeat 5....copies of the St. Gaudens $20 gold piece.&nbsp; :headbang:&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how much she spent on them, but they are the ones that are layered with &quot;pure&quot; 24kt gold.&nbsp; She thought that they were solid gold coins.&nbsp; I told her that you get what you paid for and in this case you got less.&nbsp; I told her not to buy any more coins without at least consulting with me first.&nbsp; Oh well, you live and learn.&nbsp; Fortunately, they all say copy......or unfortunately, depending on how you want to look at it! :kewl:</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, she has a nice little collection and for someone with absolutely no experience she did good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
