Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 05:27 am I don't come across many modern commemoratives here... This will probably be priced at spot + 3-6% ... Thoughts would be appreciated! It weighs right and diameter is right. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 08:17 am I'm surprised that there is no mention of metal content or purity on it. This is a coin I have never seen or heard of yet.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 08:27 am Just did a quick search and found that it is sold by Littleton Coin Company I see no mention of the metal content on their site either https://www.littletoncoin.com/shop/...bcsSQrib3otE Collecting since 1972.

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 10:34 am It's strange but I have seen a few commemoratives here and for some reasons A LOT of 1984 Olympic coins. On this coin, I haven't decided if I like the reverse design or not. It immediately looked and felt cartoonish to me... But I haven't bought it and the shop will hold it a few days until I decide.

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 11:09 am I've been buying gold sparingly. I have seen a lot more on the market here but I'm reluctant unless something strikes me. Not sure on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 11:48 am Quote: Not sure on this one. For what it is worth, if I had the money (and desire) to buy gold coins, but could only choose five examples, this one would probably make the list.

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 11:55 am @jbuck, why in particular? If I may ask Edited by Roma2021 05/20/2024 11:56 am Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 12:06 pm It is a design that I liked and appreciated when it came out. It uses Laura Gardin Fraser's proposed design for the 1932 Quarter, as opposed to the John Flanagan design that was selected. This obverse design has been used on the American Women Quarters since 2022. I suppose my desire for this obverse has been satisfied by collecting the AWQ series, but the gold coin has her reverse design, so it represents the complete "What if?" scenario. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces92508.html Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
