Does anyone else here collect US gold one dollar coins?

I am attempting to get all of them but it is VERY VERY expensive. Even "common" ones run 300-500 dollars in VF. I already have 3 of them and one is graded MS61 by NGC. If I can get an entire set I may donate it to a mueseum. You never hardly hear of or see the little beauties! I'll try to post pics of the ones I have if anyone is interested.

I'd like to see them. I don't have any but have often thought of getting at least one. A complete set is way beyond me though, even disregarding varieties and just getting date and mint, some are over $5000 in vf.

Would love to see them. I have one but it was holed for use as jewelry. I couldn't even attempt a set. If I ever do attempt a set, it will be a type set of a specific mint such as a Dahlonega Type set or Charlotte Type set. Forget varieties. It would be 3 coins from one mint.

Would love to see them as well. Where do you buy yours from?

The NGC one came offa feebay. Valued at 650(at the time I bought it) only payed 475 for it. I will NOT buy uncertified coins from feebay if I am going to sink big money into them. Buying bullion silver and then buying actual collector coins is a HUGEEEE difference! The other two came from estate sales. Noted I am only 22 years old so I think it is obtainable. Here is the link to the one I bought offa feebay.

I will post pics of the other 2 today sometime! Speaking of a friend just called me and said he thinks his grandmother has some old coins she wants to sell. Sweet!

I have a great museum you can donate them to here in Maine called Hunter's Museum.

As long as someone gets them all who can appreciate them I won't have to roll over in my grave...
