Looking for older world gold coins.

I want to start a "fun" collection of all different world gold coins. Looking for coins pre-1930, and starting out with smaller sizes of less than 1/2 ounce AGW. Im a strong buyer at near to slightly above melt prices.....PM me with your offerings.

by definition is a "strong buyer" at around melt?

For common date, VF/EF/AU, low demand generic world gold coins....you betcha it is. You wont find a dealer in the world buying those type of coins "at or slightly above" melt. They are ALWAYS back of melt. So I AM a "strong" buyer.

Anyone else wanna dump some obscure older world gold coins at just above melt?

gecko109 · July 5, 2011 9:15AM

Got 5 coins already....still looking. Sure am glad I didnt listen to Hyperion's negativity! There are many to be had at around melt!

That was uncalled for sir. A STRONG BUYER may have had 50 by now. You have nothing to Gloat over, much less comment on this forum about.

A fool with a checkbook would have had 50 by now.

Whats REALLY uncalled for is another member jumping into my BST ad with nothing to offer but negativity.....such as Hyperion has done.

You want to cop an attitude with potential customers and forum members, Fine, no skin off my rear. I just won't be doing any business with you. This isn't the lightside.

The protocol on the darkside is much different.

how much ABOVE MELT WILL YOU PAY?

gecko109 · July 6, 2011 12:19PM

<< how much ABOVE MELT WILL YOU PAY? >>

5-10% over melt. And im talking about common coins that no dealer pays more than 98% of melt on.

I think gecko is paying a great price.......a lot of world gold can be bought for melt at the local store and when you are selling to them you get melt or below melt. There is a person with some world gold that is trying to sell them at melt on.my local Craigslist with no luck. Now that's a lot different than numismatic world gold which some carry large premiums.

As usual I have started out fast and furious. I managed to acquire 17-18 different coins with a total AGW of around 2.5-3.0 oz. I have begun slowing down for a couple of reasons.....mostly because as the collection progresses, the choices become more limited as I dont want doubles. And also, I have to keep the wife happy by not spending all the money on coins. Im still an active buyer on cool coins I dont yet have that are offered at around 5% over melt. Condition is completely unimportant. Let me know what you have to offer via PM, and thanks!
