Continent gold set questions

DrBuster

Well, bought some gold today after a trip to the BM with a "half troy pound" silver eagle thing, to swap if that counts. Traded that 6oz and $20 for a 1/10th 2000 Krugerand.

Think I'm going to go for a continent 1/10th ozer set. Would that be considered a 'type' set if I got 1 piece to rep each continent? Or would I need a piece from every country that mints?

So far I've got NA (US only now), Australia, Africa covered. What would be considered a full set? At bullion prices I could do this enjoyably I think, but I want to make sure I don't miss things.

If you do just 1 per Continent you are going to miss some beauties.
North American has the Maple, the AGE and the Libertad.
Europe has the Philharmonic and the Britannia. I would include the Sovereign too even though it doesn't come as 1/4 or 1/10.

I am trying to get all the major bullions in 1/10 and 1/4.
I am also trying to get one per nation, if recognized as bullion (like european marengos or the mexican peso).

Basically, I buy what I like!

I do not know of a South American country that mints modern bullion.

I also buy what I like. Lately, I've been buying French 20F gold coins, but I would like to get some other European countries represented. I do try to get in some widely recognized modern bullion here or there as well, but that doesn't always happen.

Let me further.

I was thinking about South America. I thought Bolivia had made a gold coin/bullion at some time?

And I do believe at the 1/10th size I would want to include everybody who minted, just figured the continent set would get crossed off with 1 piece/per quicker, with expansion for sure.

check steinbergs. They deal in world gold. You might be able to do a gold coin from each country in the world

Provident Metals and APMEX also carry gold coins with low numismatic premiums (closest to spot) from a good number of countries.
