My First Foray into Old (somewhat) Dirty Gold - NEWP

Walkerguy21DWalkerguy21D Posts: 12,141 ✭✭✭✭✭
A spontaneous purchase at the Clearwater show last weekend.....while browsing through my dealer friend's Baltimore purchases,
this one caught my eye for some reason. I don't collect gold and have bought very few gold coins over the years, but this one looked kind of
neat, and was surprisingly inexpensive, priced to me between VF Bid and Ask - which is $200 less than a VF 1909-SVDB, a lot more
interesting (to me anyway), and made of gold! It was difficult to photograph, but here goes:

    I can't be the only person who thinks it's hysterically funny that a VF 1836 quarter eagle is $200 less than a VF 1909-S VDB!

    A very dangerous purchase. Old gold can be very addictive with no cure. Welcome to the club.

    RYK is still addicted. I've known RYK for many years and know he is holding on to a pretty good secret stash. I know because there are two coins I want real bad (my addiction showing here) but he is still hooked on them.

    While there may be some experimental treatment, that doesn't mean there will be a cure.

    From what I've seen, once you get a DOG bite, your sickness may wax and wane and it might change direction a bit, but it never goes away.

    (and, frankly, why would you want it to?)
