fengk Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 07/17/2006 7:29 pm I'm thinking of getting into gold coins, partly as an investment. Obviously, this would require a lot of saving on my part, but it might be worth it. Anyway, my question is what gold coins are actually out there and available at a price reasonably ($50 or so) above spot? And for those of you out there that collect gold coins, where do you get them? The dealer, ebay, Heritage... Thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Dewayne76 Pillar of the Community United States 590 Posts	Posted 07/17/2006 7:47 pm I have bought a couple off ebay. I don't have an answer to your question but if you are looking for a long term investment I would go for the older gold coins that were issued for circulation rather than the newer bullion coins.

Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 07/17/2006 8:54 pm You have to remember the older (pre 1933) gold coins are only .90% or less gold and the newer "bullion" coins are .999% or more gold. If your buying for gold content you must be aware of this. Take Care Ben Report this Post to the Staff

Take Care Ben an ounce of gold buried in a kruger is the same as an ounce of gold at 99999 purity so you only have to know the real gold content Report this Post to the Staff
