Send me all your coins and I’ll turn them to gold 🙂 🙂 🙂

Your friend Midas…

ECG, you are right about the appreciation of the 2015 American Liberty one ounce 24-karat gold high relief coin resulting from the gold value. The coin launched on July 30, 2015 with an initial US Mint price of $1,490; today’s retail price is approximately $3,000 (in OGP).

I mentioned before I typically don’t buy gold coins from the US Mint, because I choose to spend my money elsewhere. The only think I have bought are the 2009 UHR and the 2021 1/10th oz. ty 1 and ty 2 gold eagle. In the 2000, I wanted a 2000 dated gold coin. I was sort put off by the price premium for the gold proof eagle (yes even then). I waited to long. That forced me into getting a year 2000 bullion gold eagle from a local coin dealer. This was probably a good thing. I hold it in my hands and feel the edges occasionally.
P.S. Silver Eagles don’t do as well from all the handling 🙂

Well then, we might want to check in with our friend Craig right here regarding his industrial sized precious metals vault full of treasures!

As far as being more concerned with pure value as opposed to the numi particulars we might want to check in with the relatives of folks that in some cases centuries ago buried their precious metal hoards in the English countryside, or the farms in KY and see what they had to say about that practice…

AKBob, Gold is great!
Funny thing is, is that the 2015 is the ‘only’ Liberty coin that I have lol. I picked it up from the Mint for $1490, wow those were the days?!. I wish I kept going with the Liberties from the Mint(or eBay)no doubt! I lost my way and now they ain’t cheap! (I stepped things up with AGE’s in 2020)…
I pulled it out of its OGP and sent it in(both coins above) this year and I’m glad that I did..
It’s looking like that 2015 ”Grecian modern classic” look with the gown, headdress, flag and torch may be it for a while for these Liberties. After the ’15 Liberty we started seeing the changes like those big stylized stars in the headdress of the ’17, bold sunbursts, and the non human versions of Liberty like a bucking horse and a tree.
But hey, if they’re winning awards and everything–power to all that were smarter than I for not paying attention!!

Agree AKBob, I always referred to this one as the Angelina Jolie coin. Yuck. I don’t think it has appreciated much since its issue date outside of the gold value. Better off buying straight bullion.

Rick, funny, the photo of the 2015 is the only American Liberty Gold coin I don’t have. I didn’t like it when it came out and I still don’t like it, lol! I do plan on purchasing one tho. Only one tho. I’ve got at least two of all the others and three of a couple. Can’t have too much gold, right? In really like the r3verse but the obverse not so much. It is starting to kinda grow on me tho.

Sharks2th, oh my, thank you for providing these photos. I really like the coin! It’s going to be interesting what color it’ll end up being. I love the coin I must say. Now I just want it in my “hot little hands”!!! I’ve never actually held a raw one oz gold coin in my hands, they’ve always been in either a capsule or in a graded holder! I want to hold a raw, ungraded gold coin! I want to touch and feel it, not have to hold it by it’s edges. I’m going to have to risk purchasing a raw 1 oz’er one of these days. I can’t wait for that too! One thing about this hobby, there’s never any shortages of “wants” we have! Thx again Sharks2th!!

Sharks2th,

Great pics! Thank you for sharing.
