Second rare gold coin I ever ordered, and it was right on the heels of the first coin ordered, so it was the second rare gold coin I had ever seen. The two coins then in my possession, both Carson City, whetted my appetite for collecting because they weren't too expensive, and I wanted to see what other rare gold coins would look like compared to them. For example, what would a Philadelphia gold coin look like? Would it have similar reddish gold? I wanted to know.
I didn't have my goals clearly defined at this point in time, but I had a brand new copy of the 2013 Official Red Book… and I was learning.
Coin satisfies the 1890s decade and the $5 Coronet Head of the 1834 - 1933 US Gold Type Set. During the next twelve months a lot of buying and selling, always for a loss, would take place, and I was soon to realize exactly what my goals would finally entail.
