Anyone collect coins?

[Silver Bug]

Big collector here myself. Everything from morgans, peace, mercury dimes, liberty halves.

I have a small coin collection that I inherited from various relatives. However I don't actively collect.

Ah that's cool. Must be a nice collection if it's inherited. At least quality wise.

Yes. I have several silver dollars from the late 1800's and a gold piece from the same time period that is worth over $1500.

I've always had an interest in old coinage, because of its intrinsic value. The precious metal aspect is what is appealing to me...

97guns -- very nice display!

They look so shiny; did you get them that way, or did you do something to them? They all look so perfect.

[97guns]

got them that way, just cheap gold

That is nice collection 97guns.

I've been collecting bullion since 08 and have built up a nice collection but not to your level

Try to collect one of each year for Eagles, Maples, Libertad, Philharmonic and Britannia for Silver and then what I can for gold

I assume you are in the bullion race for the long term which is my plan. Every couple of months I add to my collection. I started collecting late (31) but in 20 years time when I plan to retire/semi retire I should have a nice set of coins. I hope I never have to sell them and can just pass them down to my kids but the option is always there.

yes im in for the long term also, i have investment realty that provides my income then i use gold/silver to protect my wealth

Can I ask where you guys purchase your coins? I have used Monex in the past, but they require purchases in large quantities, like 100oz silver and 20oz Gold at a time... I would rather buy a coin at a time, maybe a few times a year.

Wow, Great collection there! When I was young I used to imagine myself collecting coins but I think I just lost the enthusiasm!

I have a small collection of coins from around the world, not for value, but just because I like them. Most are pre-euro European currency from when I traveled there, and a few are random coins that turned up in a cash register somewhere I worked (like a Malaysian coin that made its way into a roll of pennies) that I just traded out a US coin for.

Really excellent collection of coin. I just recall my Aunts she is also fond of collecting coins.
