    "Other"

    I sure am lovin those classic, southern branch mint $5's (if I could wish). They will cause most peoples wallet alarm to go off. If I was to reach for one of them, it will deploy the permanent wallet lock-down system for me.

    Do a gold type set consisting of certified better dates in whatever original, problem-free grades you can afford.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Buy what you like. If you don't have a strong preference, keep your eyes and ears open and wait for a good deal such as a board member selling a nice collector coin that fits one of your categories for a good price. Gold is moving right now, and it is easy to want to rush on the bandwagon. However, many more mistakes are made that way, than by being patient.

    There are a great many factors to take into consideration here. How much do you want to spend/invest ? What do you want them for collecting/investing ? How educated are you in gold ? Are you getting a good price for the coin you are buying ? IMO, once you have these questions answered, then you are ready to buy from any one of the options above. I own MS64 and higher in common grades rather than buying bullion because they hold more of an intrinsic value,IMO. I own $3 dollar gold in higher grades, because this is what I feel were my best buys/values for my money/ collection at the time of purchase. Anyway...

    Good luck,
    Tom

    $5 Gold Indians 1908-1929.... and of course I am missing more than half.... AU50-MS61 all in PCGS

    That is what I collect as my budget allows (along with any other orb that comes along 1795-2005)

    I have a lot of the new gold commems, too.

    But, if I had the finances.........I would collect


    FOUR DOLLAR STELLAS imageimage......... that's a NO BRAINER

    << <i>TRY SMOETHING EASY,COMPLETE SET OF 1857 GOLD ! >>



    I have thought about trying to put together a year worth of all the coins.....

    Like 1891 or so, seems like an interesting challenge.....

    A 1903 or 1905 $20 in MS62 maybe? A couple of keys that haven't climbed in price like the Indians have, yet.

    I voted "other." In order collect any gold series in decent condition (MS-62 or higher), except the $2.50 Indians, you have got to be a multimillionaire. If you are a mega multimillionaire, you might consider a set of $20 gold coins or $3 gold pieces. I would never buy any U.S. gold coin in less than Ch EF, unless the lower grade is only thing available. (Example: The only known 1870-S three dollar gold piece was used for jewelry and only net grades to Fine.)

    I collect gold by type, and have done it since the mid 1960s. In the current market I have hit a wall, unless I hit the lottery. I could upgrade a couple coins, but that’s it.

    You have got to be a “very big boy” to collect U.S. gold coins by date and mint.
