<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 6550233, member: 100459"]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.</p><p>My recommendation is to buy gold, but watch the market too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
