<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldCoinLover, post: 691131, member: 4336&quot;]I have 2 things to say.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, buy the best you can afford. A scarce classic head gold coin is better than say, a 1904 P double eagle liberty...the coin has more demand and if it has better eye appeal, all the better.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I bought the classic head coin from mark feld, I knew I would be getting a coin with great eye appeal based on the photo&#039;s. It was priced right, and although I got a good deal on price, I feel I also got a great deal on quality. It seems that mark buys the coins at a lower price, so he can sell them at a lower price. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I bought the coin, I really didn&#039;t have the money for it, so I did a trade. I traded in some of my common gold bullion (I traded in the 1904 double liberty, easily the most common double eagle) for a more scarce coin. The coin isn&#039;t rare by any means, but it has great eye appeal and is certainly a better buy than a common 1904 liberty. Trading common coins for a better, quality coin that is more scarce is always a win in my book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, regarding you get what you pay for. You know those ads in Numismatic news and Coin magazines? Such as coast to coast coin. You will see coins for sale, classic US generic US gold coins such as 1908 N/M saints for incredible prices...frankly put very good prices. It seems too good to be true, and it is. Anyone can tell you who&#039;s bought from them, you will either get a whizzed, harshly cleaned, hairlines coin, or one that is counterfeit. Too many people have been lulled into buying these because it seems like a great deal; but the reality is you get what you pay for. I&#039;m hoping to one day buy an XF40-AU early US gold coin..those are always in high demand and are truly scarce.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
