whenever you see a dirty old gold™ coin in a pcgs old green holder at auction, please don't bid on it. i mean, c'mon people! help me out here. really! i cannot afford to place all these outrageously high bids, and i must win.

just bid on something else. pay too much for a toner, or an ngc black label, or something. seriously. thank you.

ps: post your dirty gold in old green holders (that you probably outbid me on, sheesh!) and i'll consider your forgiveness. even if you have posted it before, do it here so we can get the word out in this thread.

    I haven't bought any gold since it was about $4 or $500 an ounce. I'm guilt free! ;)

    I wish you luck in your quest... however, gold coins are a weakness for me... so not sure I will be able to control myself in all cases... :D;) Cheers, RickO

    I usually get out bid on clean gold coins. They don't have to be dirty or in Old Green Label Holders. They don't even need CAC stickers. I still get out bid or run up. It's the nature of auctions.
