Steve,
I have not purchased the Gold or Platinum Eagles. I usually stick with the pre-1933 gold coins in as good a grade as I can afford. In the bullion coins I prefer the Gold Buffaloes and I did buy 3 UHRs. Silver coins are an afterthought for me. I have the ASE proofs and some commemorative coins just for grins. I really like the silver Buffaloes from 2001. I believe that they could sell as many of those as they could mint. I will probably make a play for the 2008/2007 Burnished Silver Eagle at some point in the future. I lack the cajones to buy the key.
My real set ambition lies with my $2.5 Indians. I still have 6 coins including the key 1911 d to complete the set. That should occupy my wallet for some time to come. I like the design and I think they have good investment potential in 3-5 years. Rumor has it that they are no longer minted. LOL

I can understand that...lol. I just really wanted to make sure you knew that coin variety existed.
Also, there is a 2006-W Gold Eagle Reverse Proof (one ounce) with a mintage of only 10,000

And the 2007-W Platinum Eagle Reverse Proof. (1/2 ounce)

That 2008 W with the reverse 2007 will have to wait. It carries a hefty premium. I broke the piggy bank this month and I will need to repair my marital relationship first. LOL

Steve W,

Don't forget the 2008-W with the reverse of 2007 that I mentioned earlier....it's also the "burnished" variety.

Steve W- I did that just for fun. It ended up being THE place to go. All low mintages (some the lowest in the mints history) and beautiful coins to boot. Couldn't have gone in a better direction; and I did it while they were on sale from the mint. Just buy coins that you think no one will like.

I have all the ASE's but none graded; your set impresses me.

I love the $2.50 & $5 Indian Heads as well.

For someone that has only been collecting coins for a couple of years, you already have a great collection.

The good (or bad, lol) thing about coins is I will NEVER get to point where I can say...well, that about does it...I can't really think of another coin I'd like to have that I don't already own!! So, knowing I won't even get a fraction of what I'd like, the difficult part is deciding which ones I like best that I can afford. And sometimes after I've had a coin for a year of two, my interest will change and I'll sell it so I can buy another coin (usually pre-1933 gold or Carson City Morgans) that I've never held in my hands before.

Steve,
You hit the proverbial nail on the head. Those are the same emotional responses that I have for the coin mania. I buy them and enjoy them for a time and then sell them to get certified pre 1933 gold. The gold is then put in the SD box for the future when they will be worth more. That is what I tell the wife. However, we both know that the real reason is that we just enjoy the chase. After a certain age, what is money for? Girl friends are too dangerous and new Porsche s too costly! LOL

Steve,
I now have everything except the 1995-W PF & 2008 rev 2007 Burnished. At every buy I was below the retail price. The 1995 W would cost more than everything else combined. This shows how silly "rarity" can be! I will probably get the burnished coin in a 69 at some point this fall. All coins are NGC certified in 69 or 70.

That's great! I know I'll never buy the 1995-W (30,000 mintage.) If I had the money for it...I'd rather spend it on Gold coins.

Do you also have the complete 25 coin set (1986-2010) of the mint state bullion Silver Eagles? Here's an NGC MS69 set on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/1986-2010-NGC-MS69-US-MINT-SILVER-EAGLE-LOT-25-...

i.e. ebay item 360235550358. Of course, there are many more on ebay.
