I have been working on U.S. gold type coins for years. The types that I don't have are very expensive (all prior to 1834). I have a set of $2.50 Indians I put together in the 1980s, and I collect the modern gold commemorative pieces. I have a type set of the U.S. gold bullion coins in Unc. and Proof as type coins. I have a few tenth ounce pieces in Unc and Proof that I have won as prizes. Some collectors assemble date collections of the tenth ounce gold pieces. It could be an interesting little set that one can do at reasonable prices.

I was quite excited for a short while yesterday when I found a gold coin in my stocking.
It was short lived. Turned out to have chocolate in the middle.

coinrookie

None yet. But a St. Gaudens and 2.50 or 5.00 Indian are in my future. I can wait. Not to be a doomsayer, but the price of gold will drop again. Patience is the key.

i own $25 worth of gold......a $20 st gaudens and a$5 liberty head

I have $20 numismatic gold, raw and slabbed and 1 oz. bullion coins, all
kinds, Krugs, Koronas, Maples, Pandas etc. I like the Maple Leaf the best.
A new Maple Leaf is just about as pretty a bullion coin as you can buy.

Also I like the 50 Mex peso, a nice large coin with about 1.2 oz.
of gold. This coin has had its share of counterfeiters on the
bullion side in the past. I mean non gold coins being passed
off as gold coins. And regarding numismatic items, remember
Omega man? He went a long time undiscovered.

My favorite numismatic ones are the $20 Coronets hands down,
not the Saints. Ok you Saint lovers I know you want to bash me
but I agree the Saint is a more beautiful coin with all that
detail. I have them too. Its just I like the older looking
double eagles, there is more mystery to them or something
that's just me.

If you don't own gold now is the time to get some, I think. What
I like best about numismatic gold is that you really don't have
to be so concerned about putting together mint state collections.
Besides, it's too unaffordable for the rarer coins, there are too
many. Since gold is so pretty anyway, a circulated gold coin of
any denomination still looks great to me in any grade.

Michael, I agree with your preference for nice 63/64 Saints. But things are getting so tight now I'd be willing to settle for OK and decent for the grade coins. The supplies are starting to shrink. It theory it would take about $250 million to buy up all the 63/64 Saints ever graded by PCGS/NGC. But maybe only 10% of these are on the market at any time....$25 Million. It doesn't take much to get the ball moving. To swallow up $100 Million in better semi bullion MS gold coins would only take $100,000 being sold at 20 coin shops in each state in the Union. This is a drop in the ocean compared to physical bullion gold or US/Foreign 1 ounce gold bullion coins. Nice MS62 $20's or even $10 Libs/Indians will do nicely too. MS65 Saints have always been the IBM of gold speculation. When gold pops, higher graded Saints have often done very well too.

Just sitting at my local coin shop today I noticed a middle aged school teacher come in and buy $750 in bullion as well as a second person making a deal for over 150 ounces. The school teacher had no more faith in stocks, etc. The phone was constantly ringing with people inquiring about gold/silver. The average person seems to be losing their faith in paper assets. This is a move that will be hard to turn back. And I don't think we will see gold under $330 again until 2004 or much later. We MAY have another momentary setback under $340 but I do not think it will happen. The next few resistance points will likely go much easier than the earlier ones did. Wouldn't be surprised to see $360 gold by 1 January. Gold has fled the coop.

Can't be helped, some slab varieties only come with gold in them.
