Won my first gold coin tonight. Not a high dollar coin but high dollar for me in my beginning coin collection. Guess I'll add this to my box of 20

My first gold coin was a 1915 Austrian ducat restrike. Pretty, prooflike, and cheap.

Y'know, now that I think of it, my first gold coin was not that 1915 Austrian ducat.
It was a raw Fine 1857 $5.00 Liberty. Worked a summer job to save up about a hundred bucks to buy it in 1982 or thereabouts, when I was sixteen.

I can remember being a solitary coin collector back in the bad old days, with nobody to show my stuff to except noncollectors, and it was rather lonely.
