I have been fortunate over the last 24 years. My father sat my brother and I down and he told us that he had been collecting coins. They are/weren't gold, but there is some silver. He told us that he didn't have the kind of money he would need to buy gold. My father was a Sargent in the U.S. Navy, then he retired in the Army. He served as a corpsman in the Navy and when he switched to the Army after WWII, we became a glorified medic. He did everything an RN could do. He was a Veteran in the Navy in a submarine, then a medic Korean War and his final service was in Vietnam. He was wounded in all three wars. Anyway, I was proud of my Dad and when he left us his coins, it wasn't much, but it was my Dad's. Anyway, he told me that if he had any money, he would have bought Gold. Thanks to him, I bought the U.S. Mint's gold which I was very selective about which gold coins I would buy and they are now worth many more times than my purchase price. The gold coin I am most proud of owning is the 2016 W Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin ($204.95). I was also very lucky to buy the other two coins in the set... 2016 W Standing Liberty Centennial Gold Coin ($489.95) and the 2016 W Walking Liberty Centennial Gold Coin ($869.95). I'm not sure, nor do I care what they are selling for now.
My recommendation is to buy gold, but watch the market too.

I’m proud of your dad also. Holes in people is really tuff to see on a regular basic

I am making a trade today, some excess "W" quarters for store credit.

I am toying the the idea of getting some hole fillers for our 7070 album that would otherwise probably go unfilled due to the cost of the coins. I'm not looking for perfection. In fact, I prefer coins that have seen some circulation and wear. This is good since it will help keep the cost down. But I have also been wanting some American gold.

So here is my question:

Would you rather have these:
Liberty Seated Dollar No Motto
Liberty Seated Dollar Motto
Trade Dollar

Or would you rather have these:
$2.50 Gold Indian
$5 Gold Indian

Or third option:
Should I just cash out and wait for a rainy day?

Thanks for the input!
