Have I lost my mind completely ?!?!

OK, so I have nearly finished my ZAR & Rijksdaalder sets and am thinking of the following:

To collect every type of American Gold Coin ( just by type not by mintmark or die variety ) with a minimum standard of MS 62.

Only coins graded by PCGS & NGC will be bought.

Is this achievable without paying more then say 1,000 Euro for a coin ?

I know this isn't Darkside but your opinions are valued.

i think some us gold is relatively available, when you start thinking early gold coins, you might exceed your threshold....

Early 2.50s

You should ask the litesiders, they may be able to give you better insight. Can't go wrong with gold (but then again I am biased when it comes to gold).

From your vantage point perhaps US coins are sort of darksidish, but still -

Not a complete set. What you could do is have a Liberty 2 1/2, 5, 10 and 20 and and Indian 2 1/2, 5 and 10 and a 20 saint... that is possible

I love the monkey.

I'd better start looking for a darkside avenue as well I guess.

Right. Just take a look at the Red Book to see what you'd be getting yourself into with a full set.

Of course, if you've got so much spare cash burning multiple holes in your pockets, I have an 1896 half pond I'd let go cheap at 1000 Euro!

Aha - a 1/2 Pond, now I'm in familiar territory. What's it graded at Jester ? If I remember correctly you were sending it of for slabbing so I assume that you have it back.

Ron Guth recommends the cheapest way to buy an American Gold set is to buy a denomination set which contains 6 coins ( $1, $2.50, $3, $5, $10 and $ 20 ). Although if I do delve into this I would probably miss out on Elias Gold.

Sorry, I don't have it back yet.
