Which of the gold design "revisits" did YOU purchase?

Either from mint or aftermarket....? Doesn't matter.

PhilLynott · January 25, 2018 9:03AM

So far none. Even though I like the idea I just can't bring myself to spend the money when I can use the funds to buy a pre-33 coin.

steveben · January 25, 2018 9:14AM

i did well on the mercury dimes...i think i bought 7 of them and sold all but one, with enough profit to pay for the one i kept.

somehow i missed out on the quarter...i don't remember what happened. then bought 2 of the half dollars. i still have 1 of those and broke even on the other.

CaptHenway · January 25, 2018 9:15AM

What about the Kennedy half?

topstuf · January 25, 2018 9:18AM

Grassy knoll.

ricko · January 25, 2018 9:37AM

None.... Neither of them were 'true to form' IMO.... just not attractive to me.... and I really like gold coins. Cheers, RickO

None yet but I’ve always liked the UHR!

This.

In 2007 I bought the "Thomas Jefferson’s Liberty First Spouse $10 Gold Coin", but then I sold it when gold went up because I didn't really like the design that much. None since then.

BillJones · January 25, 2018 10:05AM

None. I bought the Kennedy coin because I had fond memories of the coin as a young collector. The other three were all passes because they were expensive, and I knew I would seldom look at them.

Just more Mint junk only in gold.

Sweetpie · January 25, 2018 11:26AM

*Others

*Palladium Eagle with the classic Mercury obverse and a stunning new eagle reverse.

(new to US minted coins at least).

JBK · January 25, 2018 11:38AM

I picked up all three. Don't ask me why but I did. I guess I figured they were unusual and beautiful tributes to some of our best coin designs. Add to that the hope that somewhere down the road they might (??) become sought after as new collectors discover them.

Prior to these I have not bought gold since the BHOF coin, and before that it was the first year of two of the gold eagle series. I obviously don't buy much Mint gold.

johnny9434 · January 25, 2018 11:40AM

i didnt get any of them. i would like to get a breast cancer gold though, fwiw.

CommemDude · January 25, 2018 11:42AM

I bought the SL quarter, which was underwhelming in gold and seem to be trading way below issue price now

Outhaul · January 25, 2018 12:11PM

I still say that they should have been struck in clad for circulation and in original metal for collectors. And don't put the metal content on them. These would have been a hit instead of a miss.

Just my eversohumble opinion.

Cheers

Kkathyl · January 25, 2018 12:15PM

I love them all I bought them all

bolivarshagnasty · January 25, 2018 12:44PM

Likely will never recover the funds for these but I still like them. All bought from mint.

Kkathyl · January 25, 2018 12:46PM

@Outhaul I would check Dan Carr and see if he did any in Clad

ChrisH821 · January 25, 2018 12:55PM

Just the Quarter and Half. I wasn't quick enough to get the dime when it was released and for some reason still haven't bought one.

Actually, the US Mint could have attracted a whole new legion of collectors with a clad release for circulation and bag the Roosie, Washie, and JFK for the one year. Then go with a silver strike for the collectors. Opportunity squandered.

steveben · January 25, 2018 1:00PM

@bolivarshagnasty nice looking set. your merc is especially nice. they were struck poorly, i think.

I think if they did that, they'd be pulled from circulation by hoarders and "speculators" as quickly as they went in.

Kkathyl · January 25, 2018 1:21PM

Actually it was the gold set the reinvigorated my interest in the Quarter series. Really like the design.

chumley · January 25, 2018 1:24PM

I went with the Dan Carr silver versions

Kkathyl · January 25, 2018 1:31PM

@stevenben I bought 70 kept one

I don't think the Mint has the power to do that scenario - it would have needed Congressional action. (The Sec. of the Treasury might have the power to change the design after 25 years, as I recall, but they can't do a one year switch and also I don't think they can mint in alternate metals).

Kkathyl · January 26, 2018 6:27PM

Ok I get brownie points I pulled them out. I know my pictures suck

I know, I would like to have one, but can't see the premium. One day I think I can get one closer to melt.

drei3ree · January 27, 2018 5:08AM

I bought several of the gold SLQ's and I'm still buying them. They fit in nicely with my $5 commems and nickels!
