2006 W Gold What to keep??

swest

Some advice needed here. I am cleaning out some of my coins to renew my cash flow and would like some advice.

I bought a couple of the 2006 W UNC Gold 4 Coin sets. I am still waiting (forever) for the four smaller coins to be graded, but did receive back my 2 1 ounce coins and 2 half ounce coins. I got one half ounce MS70 and rest 69.

I would like to keep something from the set and need to decide if I should keep a solid 1 once of gold or keep the MS70 half once. As of right now, they have similiar value on ebay. I have seen the half ounce in MS70 actually sell higher a couple times. For the long term, what would you recommend as the best bet. And for long term, I mean 15+ years. I am putting what I keep in my collection for my boys.

Thanks!

Although I view these as bullion, others look to the MS70 grade and might be willing to pay more. So, given your question, I would say to keep the MS70s over the 69s.

Longacre,

I am leaning towards the half-ounce keeper as it appears to be the lowest mintage and an MS70. But for whining sake...the ounce coins are so much nicer to hold lol! There is something special about an ounce of gold..sigh.

Thanks for your input!

The lowest minted one-quarter ounce & one-tenth ounce age's with the 'W' mint mark are the 1999-W which were minted with unfinished proof dies by mistake. No one is sure how many exist but estimates are in the low thousands.

Sell everything except for the 1/2ozers....if you have to sell
The 1 oz is the dog of the series, the 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz are second to the 1999 w errors as the keys to their series, the 1/2 oz is the new king of its series....pending what the mintages are in 2007
