    Gosh no ... I sold all my GE around 28 and starting snatching up a rising stock that is generally still rising with continuous upgraded targets. I'm up over 3x and it's still growing sans market instability.

    GE has been a dog for years even when I sold; might as well just get a commercial bond mutual fund that would pay more income per year (or drip). I know Berkshire got into GE but GE needs Berkshire to help right their ship.

    Only the latest 25 show up on the watched list. So if there are more you will not see them until you have read those 25.

    Doesn't help that the eagle is holding a feather pen.
    I really like the head design. The wings is a"chunky" design probably because the feather pen needs design contrast.

    What is there to rub in? It's just a chunk of gold like any other bullion coin - no history behind it at all.

    Much though it pains me to say it, 1987 was 31 years ago...

    We could review every gold commem in the last several decades ... as @JeffB would alleviate to ... at least the ones with an Eagle on them.

    And? Anything after 1933 is modern bullion and is just a lump of gold, occasionally with a pretty pattern on it.

    unless you look at the numismatic side of things.

    So, is it that "history" and "numismatic value" ends some time between 1933 and 1987? If so, when, and why?

    Or is it that a coin has to circulate to have value beyond bullion? If so, why are MS coins considered more valuable?

    Must... resist... urge... to... demonstrate...
    It's from fishing, where you troll along waiting for a fish to bite.

    Online, trolls make posts that are calculated to provoke a response. When someone "bites", responds to the post, the troll feels like he's won.

    See also "baiting", "hook, line and sinker", etc..

    ahh ... the "bullion purists" and numismatic fellas and everyone in between ...

    I could say things like I have no value associated with junk silver; after all it's junk. Should just be face value if anything.

    Everyone collects "stuff" for different reasons.

    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    Since modern $5 gold commems have the exact size and composition as classic half eagles, ONCE AGAIN sakata seems to be smoking something. AGE's are bullion. Gold buffs are bullion. $5 gold commems are NOT. They each have a separate piece of legislation mandating their creation. Bullion coins are all authorized by one blanket authorization. And that includes the 2016 centennial pieces - NO legislation.

    Back when we thought $10 might become the "go to" denomination for gold commems.
