Bought a little gold today

The selection on gold pandas was less than impressive today at my local show. I was however able to aquire 3 more pieces to add to my growing (and very ambitious) complete date/size gold panda "regular issued" set. The '83 1/2 oz is a nice little semi-key, but the other 2 are fairly common coins. Very reasonable premiums too! I paid just 6% above melt on the group, thats a deal I can live with any day of the week!!!

    I dont collect the proofs (yet). I have too much on my plate with the UNCs yet to even start thinking about proof coins!!!

    Affirmative. (not too crazy about the double panda designs that have been plaguing these coins for the past 6 years though)

    I gotta git me one of those. Sorry you're not a fan of the double panda, but I am. (My 3-year old likes the Kungfu Panda movies, I'm slowly beginning a slide toward Panda collecting). Too bad Gold is so darn pricey.

    Bob, I dont see gold as pricey at all. If you look at it from the angle of simply "transferring funds to a different account", the pill is much easier to swallow. X-box is pricey...Coach handbags are pricey....designer clothes are pricey....you will never even recover 1/3rd of your outlay on those purchases. However, when I go out and "spend" 2 or 3 large on some nice gold coins, I view it as not "spending" at all. More like im just transferring my funds from paper into metal. I can always sell these things for pretty darn close to what I paid if a real emergency does pop up. All a matter of perspective I suppose.image

    The pandas aside, I love the detailing on the bamboo forest behind them. Nice striking detail!

    great coins!
