per my guestimate, that grouping is worth over $82 in silver value alone

Nice work Ron. Those are not bad for only a month. I read your post about the poker tourney and how you acquired the Washington and the Franklin. I are coming along just fine. Quality above quantity at the lowest possible price looks like your objective in putting together an eclectic collection. It reminds me of mine when I first started collecting. A little of this, a little of that, I still do not care where it comes from or what it is made of. Keep us posted as your collection grows and do not let that Un Peso be your only non U.S. coin. world coins are much more artistic than the stuff made here. |

Ron2012Paul: 6 coins per month is about my collecting rate.
My collection now numbers about 3,500 items.
I have always stuck to a budget. That budget has varied quite a bit, both up and down, but it has not stopped me. Stick to your budget, and just buy the best value for money that you can.

Nice start - I've always liked hoarding the 64 Kennedys.

You are doing just fine. I liquidated my non silver coin collection and dropped all the proceeds in to silver. That was when silver was at the $20/oz. range. Don't make the mistake of buying silver way beyond your budget. Buy no bullion with credit cards, period. My piece of advice. |

It looks like you're off to a great start. Where have you been looking to pick up your bullion purchases?

Nice little silver stash for one month RPJ (Ron Paul junior, lol). Keep that buying average, and you will be loaded with silver in no time....

But I want to say I am zigging when other people are zagging. It is easy to sell the common date morgans to dealers and get cash to buy difficult to find world coins. At the Baltimore show yesterday I got an 1852 Madeira 10 Reis in XF, two Greenland coins that are always hard to find, and one from Guadeloupe and one from Martinique. Just copper and bronze coins, but far more interesting and I believe better investements than buying common date U.S. silver coins. We all have different interests. A few years ago, I was loading up on silver. Edited by chasinva69

Thanks everyone! Fuzzy your right its about $80-$100 dollars worth. I get them from random places. Got a few from ebay when I can get them for a little over spot I dont like paying too much over spot. I've got a few from the coin shop in my town, thats where I got my ASE. I got the Un peso from my friend cause he knows I've started collecting coins and he said he had no use for it. lol If only my friends would take my advice about silver and gold they think I'm crazy and that my talk of our dollar collapsing is a conspiracy theory lol. I do plan on getting more world coins my friend just had this peso so I took it off his hands. |
