So I opted for a half dime instead....

It appears that most non-gold coins have softened a bit, I've been able to pick up some silver and copper at what appears to be 'reasonable' prices in this market. Everyone I know is touting the desirability of GOLD, sounds to me as though another rush is about to collapse or at the very least experience a correction. Now I'm sure that your crystal ball is every bit as good as mine, but my investing experience is waving the yellow flag (pun intended) of caution. One of the keys to investing is to be contrary. When everyone is buying, be a seller and vice versa.

Good advice for an investor, thank goodness I'm basically a collector! I will still be looking to acquire the gold coins I need for my collection but hopefully I will be very picky as to price, condition, and rarity.

Pictured is a very nice 1861 h10c in ms 65 with color. Thanks for reading and may your quest be worthwhile.
