Thank you to everyone that gave me a lot of great advice as I reimmerse myself into coin-collecting. I won the following three coins via auction: 1913 AU 58; 1913 MS 61; and 1929 MS 62. Nothing super special, but always happy to share!!

Wow ... nice start.
Congrats! I've just started bidding on some stuff (haven't won anything yet). Hopefully I get a nice of a start as you.
Suggest that you sell the AU58 1913 since you already have one in MS61 and use the money to buy a date that you don't already have. I assume that you want to put together a 15 coin set.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Gotta love those gold Indians -
Wisdom has been chasing you but, you've always been faster
Humble and gold don’t belong in the same sentence. Nice coins.
Thats a fine start, good luck as you go.
A nice start. I like that 1929.
You are on your way on the Yellow (Gold) Brick Road.
Awesome start!! Can't wait to see what else you add.
I love the Indian Head gold coins they’re my all time favorites!
Just going to warn you now, there is no cure for the gold bug. Great start!
Looks like you have been bitten by the gold bug.... not a bad affliction, but there is no cure - and the only help is more gold....
Nice coins... I really like the gold incuse Indians...Cheers, RickO

Real nice coins great start. A good goal to have.
These are my favorite coins. I enjoyed collecting the whole set (AU58 - MS61, some CAC) and they would be the last coins I sell.
Out of curiosity, why did you buy two 1913's? I would keep the one with the most eye appeal (not necessarily the higher grade btw) and sell the other to put those resources into another date. I've seen AU58's with awesome eye appeal and MS64's for example that looked like junk/melt to my eyes.
Enjoy the journey!
Thanks, Matt. So it was a bit of an accident in how I ended up getting both. I was bidding on both of them, thinking I would not win both auctions, as the bidding was so low. I figured I might win one of them, but ended up being the highest bidder on both of them.
I’m not Matt, but...
Those results could be a good indicator that current values are less than you thought. Regardless, the coins are typically readily available, so in addition to having fun, you have the luxury of being quality and price conscious.
