Just Starting? Read This!

But there is also the 24 kt gold!

I recall reading a nice paragraph from Junior E in another thread here, and he spoke of how he invests in the half and quarter eagles, like 1900 through 1915 seems like and again from 25-29 seems like. Graded as well, as the fakes are hard to spot, and the three grading company's would eliminate that worry. Also, if the bottom fell out of gold, you still have the numismatic angle....

I totally agree with all Junior E said, and think it contradicts what this guy says, as I could be mistaken and misread it, but did he not say one key factor was to invest in pure gold bullion coins?

Sure seems like to me, that there is many people now going after the above mentioned, and I see them get up to 280 on low starting auctions on ebay. And example was a 1908 Indian, that had been lightly cleaned and a slight wave, and it still brought 280, the 2.5 Eagles that is. Just the coin of course and no grading....

To each their own but....

I think those colored Beagle coins are the ugliest (to cartoon-ish) thing I have seen to date as are many in that series and I think one might as well flush that 210 bucks, as you will be stuck with those bad boys for eons, lol, as most colored coins. I have seen a few I like, the same mint and different genre like the major battle series, like Thermopylae for example is pretty cool. But still colored coins just will never have the same appeal to me, as just a great image forged into gold or silver....

What do most have in common, they are high in price big time, most sell out of Australia, (so high shipping for me), and I have watched them all mostly buy it now, and they set and set and set and set. Me liking something just is not enough, I need to believe a good portion of the masses like it as well, for future resale....

Oh I knew that Thunder, as I don't think there are many of us that would fork out that kind of money for 1 oz of modern day silver....
