Yesterday I visited a coin and bullion store in Panama City, FL, I was interested in a gold St. Gaudens for my collection. The salesman asked if I had a particular coin of interest. I was unsure as there are so many to choose from, and frankly I was like a kid in a candy store eye balling all the coins in the cases, probably a mistake, I should have studied more. He went in the back room where I guess they keep most of the more valuable coins, he brought out two 1908 St. Gaudens without motto, no mint mark, both were in great condition but were circulated coins I would guess, and they were not graded and had light wear. I paid $1100. Did I make a mistake? A/O did I merely buy a nice coin at the normal markup over Gold bullion market prices?

Figured it was about time to own a piece(or pieces) of history! Great article and input!
