Successful BST transactions with: SilverEagles92; Ahrensdad; Smitty; GregHansen; Lablade; Mercury10c; copperflopper; whatsup; KISHU1; scrapman1077, crispy, canadanz, smallchange, robkool, Mission16, ranshdow, ibzman350, Fallguy, Collectorcoins, SurfinxHI, jwitten, Walkerguy21D, dsessom.

    The Fugio if you can find an attractive and fairly problem-free example

    While the other non gold coins are nice, I prefer the higher grade

    I would hold out till the pot gets bigger to afford a higher graded coin, the 1795 half would be my choice

    I thought the gold market would run out of steam, but it hasn't. So I voted for pre 1933 gold.

    My second choice would be a very attractive for the grade Bust half dollar. The grades are too low for the other coins IMO.

    Those are all nice options. I voted for the gold because gold 20's are commanding and marvelous in hand and also because the bullion aspect makes them an extra appealing part of your portfolio as a hedge, but they'd all be fun things to have in your collection.

    I owned 100 shares watched it roller coaster to 35+, then dumped it for a nice profit.

    I also bought & sold NVDA when it rocketed to 800+.

    Will probably buy them again after a correction.

    I also bought & made $$ on FB $ NFLX.

    NVDA never got to $880
    The highest it got was $8823.94 but hoping it goes a lot higher

    Sorry I meant 800+, 880 was a typo & has been corrected.

    Either some economic or political news will result in a correction. That’s the time to jump back in.

    I’m getting 4-4.5% apy on my money while waiting for an opportunity to jump in.

    Surprisingly TSLA has recently recovered some losses. Shorts covering their positions?

    I think the opportunity is now
    Sold out of TSLA, EVs overrated,
    Bought Dell before earnings, $$$
    I can't seem to be able to tie my money up in bonds, MM, CDs, and the like
    powder on the sidelines so I can jump in

    What's a tax refund? but if I were to get one it would probably be pre-33 gold.

  • sparky64sparky64 Posts: 7,036 ✭✭✭✭✭

    What is this "refund" of which you speak? I am not familiar. :D

    I voted for the Flowing Hair half but hopefully its an undegraded VG.

    In this scenario I like the Fugio. I have an example of the gold already (certainly hope for more in the future). The 1795 got a lot of thought, but I’d like a little better one than that, one day.

  • TwoSides2aCoinTwoSides2aCoin Posts: 44,294 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I’m given neither, ( a good market or tax refund). tyvm.

  • jmlanzafjmlanzaf Posts: 34,259 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'd buy a nice mutual fund. 😉

    I also would never buy what random forumites want to buy. If it doesn't resonate strongly with me, I really don't care what anyone else thinks. 🤷
