    I’ll take a dozen graded coin like that any day!

    Love it. US gold is that last great buy in numismatics. You get yourself gold, you get yourself history and you get yourself a teeny tiny numismatic premium.

    I would sell my whole worthless plastic coin collection and buy every coin like this I could. If a coin with these low pop numbers were in the WLH series, it would be a 50K coin.

    Great "old gold" look on that one. Edit, PCGS r7.7 in all grades. Great deal.

    A good looking coin with a low mintage can't be too bad a deal at that price!

    I would happily trade off my collection of modern junk if I could get some nice gold like this.

    Good job on catching this before it hit the melting pot.

    Wow! Great acquisition, great price, and only 125 survivors.

  • JimTylerJimTyler Posts: 3,890 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice. I'm surprised how much gold is selling around melt.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice catch... old gold that has seen a lot of commerce....and a scarce one at that....Cheers, RickO

    Interesting piece, for sure. I have a soft spot for old, worn out U.S. Gold. A total no-brainer IMO. Nice pick up!

    I actively collect, buy and sell US minted Philippine coins from 1903-1945. I am interested in anything during this period, Albums, Proof sets, collections, original rolls and bags, Cullion Leper colony coins etc.

    I certainly did, but didn't wish to offer any further encouragement. You used that line on a bust quarter a couple of years ago and we tried not to notice that time either. :s

    We weren't dozin' , just duodecimalizing while waitin' to "play the dozens" :#

    It (almost unimaginably) gets worse from there. :p

    Semi-incidentally - nice purchase . . . . many seen finer, but none as fine :)
