<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 24793938, member: 5233&quot;]Ever since I was a kid, I have wanted to put together a collection of gold coins.&nbsp; Sadly, the budget hasn&#039;t been there...but I feel like I am getting to a point in my life where that is changing.&nbsp; I would like to start picking up gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have given it some thought about collection vs investment and honestly...I&#039;m more interested in a collection.&nbsp; That said, I want to try and find something that can double dip in both categories.&nbsp; In my head...that means either foreign gold or modern commemorative US gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like this is a place where my affinity for German coins might benefit me.&nbsp; Prussian 20 Mark gold coins can be picked up pretty close to melt.&nbsp; They contain 0.2304oz of Gold and are .900 gold.&nbsp; The dream would be to do a date/MM set.&nbsp; Fortunately, there aren&#039;t that many key dates.&nbsp; The coin was minted from 1871-1915 and has 6 different designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I think I know what set I would like to work on.&nbsp; In total, a complete set would be a little over 60 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>My big question is how to avoid getting burned.&nbsp; I feel like initially, I can pick up a couple coins from American Gold Exchange or something like that.&nbsp; I don&#039;t want to do too many of these because they are random dates and I don&#039;t want duplicates.&nbsp; At my current budget, I can probably pick up 2 or 3 per year so duplicates would be an issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know of any good sources for these types of coins (other than places where you get random dates)?&nbsp; I don&#039;t need to pick up high end MS coins, lightly circulated examples are OK...so really I am looking to collect investment grade coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
