Looking for 1912 Gold Coin

[PAyoungin]

I'm new to the forum, but have been interested in treasure hunting all of my life (Im 16). However, the main reason for this post is to ask about the most collectible gold coin minted in 1912 (My great-grandmother died and left me $500 to spend and I didnt want to waste it on something useless and seeing as she was born in 1912 I knew I wanted something from then) This is going to be at the very least a posible investment for the future as well, but hopefully a fmaily heirloom that will be passed down from generation to generation. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also anyone know of a coin dealer in Central PA? Thanks.

Welcome youngin


You could watch EBay, But you will need to be carefull who you buy from. Being 16 I'm sure your parents will help you there.

Central Pa Covers a large area. Knowing the County may help.

Im from schuylkill, and i have already looked at eBay mainly for price ranges and different coints, but im not willing to spoil this money on a hoax (no matter how good their rating is). Im also going to pick up a copy of the red-book and continue to check from there, but I would prefer to buy a graded (pcgs, anacs etc...) directly from a valid, honest dealer. Thanks a bunch and I look forward to replies.
Thanks again.

are you Familiar with Redners (Not sure on Spelling)
on 61 in Orwigsburg.

There is usually a dealer in the main section.

I believe there is still a dealer at the Gratz Farmers Market & Auction
at least there was last year. I Havn't been there lately.


There is also Muller's in Hamburg (Berks County)
610-562-7687

I don't know on Hometown Market, but it is also Possable.

 

[PAyoungin]

Thanks for the tip. Yea im very familiar with Redners its right near BMHS. Do you know when that is open, if at all this time of year. Thanks for all the help.

 

[jeff of pa]

Every Sunday.

The Dealer should be there by 10 AM

The shop is near the Center of the Main section.

Very Small But I'm sure he has more then what he brings with
and can probably help you out.

 

[jeff of pa]

By the way, BMHS would be a great place to detect if you can get permission.

As should the Grove down by the red Church

 

[PAyoungin]

Thanks for all you help I really appreciate it.

 

[jeff of pa]

No Problem.

I should have Mentioned RANDALL accross from the Bank in Pine
Grove

used to deal stamps & coins, and may also know a dealer with one.

 

[PAyoungin]

Yea I know him ive been there for him to look at diamonds that I have found. Only 3 minutes away...It is kinda funny that the guru of all things THing lives in the same county as me..Thanks for the help.

 

[jeff of pa]

I usually take my Diamonds to him also.

he's bought alot of silver & gold off me in the past too.

during the Sweet Arrow draining time.

 

[PAyoungin]

Do you think it would be more worthwhile to go to the place in hamburg to trade in my silver? Yea I was around 10 i guess when they drained it the first time and i had a $30 radio shack detector so i found cans, but only the ones i could see with my eyes ..I wish i would have known better back then haha...Did you ever find anything good in there?

 

[jeff of pa]

Muller is definately better.
His prices depend on Silver prices that day.

Randall can be contrary & say "I'm not buying right now"
or "I'll call you"

Muller is always Buying.

I got a Couple Diamond rings, alot of Class rings,
Slot machines, Cone top Beer cans from the 30's,
Coins from the early 1700's up, Etc, Etc. out of Sweet arrow.

I have a Museum in my Garage, from my 40 years of detecting finds,
and over half are from those 2 years of Sweet arrow

Was my best site Ever, sort of like the Iceberg Posts
in the Best of TreasureNet Section.

But even their Blowing me away

 

[PAyoungin]

Actually I just bagged Randalls groceries tonight and I was going to ask him but didnt..Even though they dredged it for a second time im stil going to take my detector out there mostly on the land near the falls and the cabin. Wish I would have had the opportunity, but oh well another one will pop up somehwere.

BG's or Bergers ?

My nephew Brian M. works at BG's

My other Nephew Dennis does the Computers at the School.

 

[PAyoungin]

I work at Bergers and I see Dennis around the school all the time fixing the computers.

 

[jeff of pa]

I don't know if it was the Owner or Manager,
I stopped in at Bergers with a Friend who was applying for a Job.
The Guy in the office saw my WHITES hat I was wearing that day,
and said he is into detecting. that was about 4 years ago.

If it wasn't for Dennis, I wouldn,t Know half of what I do about
Computers.

 

[PAyoungin]

Yea im not sure about who you are talking about but now i plan on finding out . Our school wouldnt have working computers if it wasnt for him.
