I took a bunch of Pic's of this yesterday and this lighting / angle / lens combination gave it a unique look. maybe not the best representation of the coin, but I like it .
A work-in-progress snippet of a catalog I'm working on. A soon to be "plate medal". The NGC label is incorrect. According to BVN, this is an uncirculated issue that was sold individually.
Still just warming up with bullion. I feel like it’s prerequisite to owning collectible gold. Sense of security or rite of passage or maybe just collateral to justify X$‘s in one collectible coin.
Am I wrong?
This one is very attractive. I was just reading up on Carr’s website and it strikes me a great place to level up from straight bullion without getting too crazy. Not sure about your piece but others were not too much above melt yet still collectible.
From the “if only coins could talk” department…. How many Girls, how much booze, how many cheap rooms…..this 1859 S Gold Dollar even appears to have the legendary tooth marks from. Long ago test.

Yes, it was where PerryHall said. These are considered to be the first coins ever made, I always wanted one and ended up purchasing this one from the author of this book at the last Long Beach show
Mostly jewelry pieces and not the best specimens, but I like them and moreover had got for a little over melt. Have since got them graded by ANACS merely for authenticity. These are archive pics....

She's a looker for sure!
Bought my first NGC gold today and not quite sure how I feel about it. Certainly looks better in hand...
