CoinWeek IQ: Collecting Gold Coins: Tips for the Rest of Us

Collecting gold coins is a pinnacle activity in our hobby, but many people shy away from it due to their perception of the cost involved.
Is collecting gold coins really beyond your means? Noted gold coin expert dealer Doug Winter doesn't think so.

In this CoinWeek IQ video, Doug and Charles discuss ways you can get into gold coins and which types offer the most value for your collecting dollar.

We look at all types of U.S. gold coins, from gold dollars to $20 double eagles and everything in between.

If you have a stack of Morgan dollars in your collection that you do not want, odds are you can afford to buy at least one of the coins discussed in this video.

Enjoy listening to opinions of well informed individual. Learned quite a bit about pre-33 coins listening to Doug Winter. Thank you.

Liberty III are one of my favorite coins, and I agree on the St. Gaudens.
The Tens are really overlooked with whats available.

I used to collect numismatic gold coins too subjective for me, I stack Bullion only right now I could catch the fever and go back to buying numismatic gold I do like the 20-dollar high relief a lot!!

I have spent the time to make friendships with a couple coin shop owners. They are very knowledgeable guys. One told me about five years about his opening answer. He was not pushing the classic coins but they were beautiful and I wanted to try to buy my first one and learn. The premium was not that high as my friend told me and this gentleman said. I now have a small collection just like they said. I have learned so much and passed that on to my Grandchildren. First knowledge then when they understand they are getting one this Christmas. That is making a long story short about the education trip I have been on. Noting this video is 6 years old. Prices are a lot higher now.

Really open discussion on collecting gold coins. I found this discussion very useful.

[marquescameron]

I plan on collecting both constitutional silver as well as pre 33 gold.

[jamesgoss]

I can guarantee that the St. Gaudens $20 is the gateway drug. I got that first not intending to get another, then a St. Gaudens eagle, next I'm building a full gold type set.

[deanwest]

Great video. I'm one of those collectors that has very little gold, mostly because its cost so much more, at least in my mind. I have spent a lot of money on silver as well, but I would love to add some gold eagles to my collection.
