"2008" COIN METAMORPHASIS - Gold Coin Bought With Worst Shape, Rusted Clad

goldcoin2-2.jpg


Here's my latest investment. I already have gold coins (16 of them) from the US, Canada, Mexico, Russia etc all bought with mostly pennies, but with the price of gold shooting up this past year, I have to also include nickels and possibly dimes to pay for this coin. But this year I really wanted to go old. I ended up getting a hammered gold coin from Indonesia from my local coin dealer. My running clad total so far is slightly over $575.00, and this gold coin set me back $150.00 Canadian.​

It all amounts to the same thing......investing some of our found clad (especially the ones in poor shape :thumbsup:) into something which really has some personal meaning to ourselves and will only appreciate with time. What a great hobby it is :icon_sunny:.

Great coin, thanks for sharing. I collect gold coins too and at this point I have 16 so you're 1 ahead of me now ;D
Got mostly Aussie gold with a few Yank coins as well. Your new one is a beauty, you should post the rest of your collection
in the coins section.
