<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 2966488, member: 77704"]US early copper coinage is fascinating, I saw a pristine collection sold either by Stacks/ Heritage.....in the millions$$$$. Its the same with Canadian Silver coinage 1870-1936, some examples in MS-66 go for close to 100K. Gold sounds expensive, but probably cheaper. Fact is that, high quality Mint state examples are not as hard to find as in Silver/Copper coinage. Gold also keeps its lustre, does not corrode in saltwater, suffer from oxidation, and most important was not as heavily circulated/ many coins were put into safe storage by collectors throughout history, or hidden, to be discovered in present times. Good example, the Dog walking couple that found all those US Double Eagles hidden away in 1860s in rusty canisters. Most were perfect mint state! Unfortunately, when I take my Rottie for his walk, all he finds are food scrapes<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
