<p>[QUOTE=&quot;adric22, post: 1591150, member: 38146&quot;]I feel your pain.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been wanting to collect Gold, Platinum, or Palladium for quite some time.&nbsp; But there just aren&#039;t really any entry-level coins.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen some of the 1 gram bars on eBay for around $79, as well as the two-peso coins for a bit more than that.&nbsp; The cheapest Gold Eagle is 1/10 ounce but runs around $200.&nbsp; But I&#039;m like you, I have a budget of about $100 per month.&nbsp; And while I suppose I could save that money and buy a Gold Eagle every 2 months that would be boring.&nbsp; So instead I keep buying silver.&nbsp; In fact I rarely buy the Silver Eagles because they cost nearly $40 at this point.&nbsp; I&#039;d rather buy several cheaper coins.&nbsp; I play around on eBay a lot and I like to have a coin of some kind coming every few days.&nbsp; So I shoot for coins that are around $15 and less.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know I&#039;ve said it before, but I&#039;ll say it again.&nbsp; I wish a reputable source (such as the US Mint) would create some kind of clad coins using gold or platinum.&nbsp; For example, have a coin the size of a half-dollar or larger with about $20 to $40 worth of gold or platinum plating on the outside.&nbsp; I&#039;m not talking about electroplating, but rather how they did the 40% half dollar and Eisenhower coins.&nbsp; Which by the way are some of my favorite coins to collect because they are larger silver coins but are much more affordable.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>People ask me why I want to collect gold if I can&#039;t afford it, and why not just be happy with silver?&nbsp; Well, I don&#039;t want to &quot;put all my eggs in one basket&quot; so I&#039;d like some diversification.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
