I have very little interest in gold coins but I still find these a lot of fun to read. I think territorials would be very cool to collect but think Mr. Winter's advice is spot on.

Great read on a cold evening. Always enjoy reading thoughts from those who know what they are talking about.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

This from a guy who wrote an article several years back proclaiming the 54-D $3 "The King of Southern Gold". You disappoint me sir. I am in Doug's camp on this one, but I am strongly biased when it comes to that neighborhood mint in Dahlonega.

Actually, the 61-D $5 was anointed as The King. The 54-D $3 was in the discussion. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Ahhh, finally found it. Some revisionist history at play here. I know I am older than you and losing my mind but I was quite sure who you proclaimed as King. It even appears you favored the 61-D Dollar to the 61-D $5. I guess now that you own a 61-D $5 your memory has become clouded like mine.

Thanks for the heads-up about a possible SF-mint book, but DW's got to get going on the update of his CC-mint book first!
