Message:: [QUOTE="tcore, post: 112894, member: 2949"]I agree with Cloud. You're doing good just to have made up your mind to purchase some gold. Me personally, I like certified uncirculated coins. For modern coins, I buy MS69 grade. To me, MS70 isn't worth it. Also, I don't buy sight unseen. I always want to see the coin first and make sure I agree with the grade. I have a couple of certified 1/10 AGE. They're nice. I am also putting together a set of one of each denomination of the old 1800's gold Liberty style of coins. That's just the way that I've chosen to collect for right now. Don't worry about when you can complete a "set" of something, just buy coins when you can. The 1/10 oz series of AGE is nice. Lots of people collect them. As long as you average out buying more than one 1/10 oz AGE per year, you'll eventually complete the set. I understand what you're saying about the 1/10 oz being within your price range...mine too. However, as you're probably aware, you can usually get the larger AGE coins for a lower percentage over the spot price of gold. For example, let's say the spot price of gold is $550. You may pay $75 for a 1/10 oz coin, which would be $20 over spot. You may pay $165 for a 1/4 oz coin, which is $27.50 over spot. $27.50 for the 1/4 oz is a lower percentage over spot than $20 for the 1/10 oz. Just something to chew on. And, I'm along with everybody else. Whatever you decide one, make sure you like and enjoy what you're purchasing![/QUOTE]
