Trying to buy nice gold in cool holders on a budget is TOUGH!

    Nice coin! I like the peachy luster. That serial number is pretty early too

    I was stuck between a few coins in the auction and the serial number (and overall look of the coin) is why I chose to go after this one. One of the earlier green insert rattlers you'll probably see.

    That "on a budget" comment might need some tweaking if you keep going down this path...

    I think the goal is to finish a somewhat simplified 1850 and on circulating gold type set in rattlers by the end of next year then see where things go from there. Upgrades, probably. If things go well I can probably swing a $20 by the end of the year, though I think finding a nice $5 may be harder, and the $1 golds even tougher.

    I have a $2.5 Lib, $3 and $10 Lib now.

    So I'd need...

    $1 Liberty
    $5 Liberty
    $20 Liberty
    $2.50 Native Head
    $5 Native Head
    $10 Native Head
    $20 Gaudens

    It's a lot for me, but doable if things keep going well.

    I like it! Great design....Always loved the 10 Lib.

  • USMarine6USMarine6 Posts: 1,948 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Seems as though any gold in an older holder is through the moon these days. I like the coin and the holder congratulations on the purchase.

    If it was easy everyone would do it! Carry on.

    And yes, you need a Stella (Artois) 😎

    And from a slab era when 63 really meant something.

    Very solid grade and the sticker adds some good confirmation.

    Very nice gold coin! I have recently joined the same band wagon. It is rather difficult to find gold coins on a budget for a reasonable price.

    Very nice! As far as buying gold on a budget, is it the Gates budget, Buffet budget or PMH budget? If it’s the PMH budget you’re in big trouble :).

    It's the "How much money can I make flipping crap all the time to pay for the stuff I like?" budget. The harder I work, the more I hustle, the greater the coins I get to keep. :)

    There is. Nothing of interest to me that is still priced remotely reasonable though.

    What do you like better the coin or the holder 😀?

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
