More gold for the stash

[jim4silver]

Picked up some $10 Canadian gold coins from 1912-1914. Never had seen them before. Got them for only a few bucks over melt. Really neat old coins. I really prefer the old gold coins over modern day bullion, even though most collectors don't. For now the old stuff is the cheapest way to buy gold (with the exception of old US gold coins).

Picture from the net I found.

I've never seen those around either Jim.

Nice buy!

When you talk gold and silver most people get the top ones in their mind.... eagles... maples... and don't think about all the other stuff that is out there. There is A LOT of it.

Dave,

And although I do not believe there will ever be another gold confiscation in this country , I feel that buying old gold coins that were once actual currency might be good insurance just in case. Perhaps if they did another one they would exempt gold coins prior to a certain date, like 1933, etc.

Either way, they have some character to them as opposed to modern bullion. You just gotta make sure you know what you are buying so you don't wind up with counterfeits or fakes.

where did you find these

Got them from a local coin shop. They got a few in the day or so before and I bought what they had. Hard to find decent low premium gold these days.
