This coin is actually one of the first coins that I bought when I really started stacking a few months ago. Prior to that, I had some coins that I had collected, but I wasn't actually stacking to preserve wealth.
My first trip to the coin store I was lost and confused. I asked questions. Lots of questions. I knew they wanted to sell me stuff, but the guy was really nice in explaining how different things worked. I was glad I took the time to ask because it has helped me have a better understanding of which coins I wanted to buy, and which I wanted to wait on.
I knew about Silver American Eagles as I had previously bought them for people as gifts. So I knew those were going to be part of my base, but I didn't know what other coins to get. I learned there's no wrong answer when it comes to coins, it's just a matter of preference. Some cost more, but some also have different kinds of value.
This coin was one that cost a little more at the time, and I wasn't sure if I was making a good decision, but now I'm glad I spent the extra money.
Beautiful, isn't it? Even as I look the pictures and wrote the article, I kept thinking that I need to get more of these.
I'm playing around with camera angles, so I apologize for the varied perspectives. I don't want to be afraid to take risks, so I'm trying to get better at the craft.
