[QUOTE="RedTiger, post: 833028, member: 19098"]I always say, collect what you like. Which of those selections gets you most excited? If it is about even, perhaps take a few weeks, or months to shop and just get the best deal in terms of quality for the price for that coin or group of coins. I wouldn't be in any hurry, if this might be a once in many years kind of purchase. Grading gold is its own specialty, so look at a minimum look at lots of online images, so as to see what is out there. The bi-metallic coin is more straightforward, though you might do better on price if you can find a motivated seller. If you go the Peace dollar set route, again, taking some time might make the journey that much more enjoyable. Often times the shopping is more fun, than the actual purchase. For me, once the money is spent, the fun is mostly over. That may seem counterintuitive, but I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels that way. So bottom line, which coin or group of coins gets you most excited? If all are about even, take some time and shop, and look for a good deal in terms of quality and price. If buying gold, take some time to look at a lot of coin images (if shopping online). Heritage, Teletrade, and many dealer sites will have many archived images with prices.[/QUOTE]
