As written by one of your bloggers: " If you're looking for something your grandkids can cash in on when it's time for them to go to college, then you're probably better off sticking to the stock market (through a tax-protected 529 plan)." Well, all I have to say to the person who wrote this regarding a (TAX PROTECTED 529 PLAN) You're no longer in Kansas...... We now live in the land of OZ and OZ has NO SUCH THING AS TAX PROTECTED PLANS........ THESE ARE ALL AS SAFE AS A MADOFF, AIG, JP MORGAN PLAN FOR YOUR FUTURE......... BUY THE COIN OR ANY GOLD/SILVER...... WHERE NO ONE GUARANTEES YOU ANYTHING EXCEPT THAT YOU HAVE ENTERED A LAND OF REAL MONEY...........

It's clear alot of posters here know little about gold nore coin collecting nore the UHR Double eagle..

They have tried to make THIS poticular coin for over 100 yrs now and over the years many can't even be compared to the beauty or historical significance of this coin. They are only making this for ONE year and so far the Mintage is looking fairly low by the end of the year they may have just over or just under 100,000 or so which is a very low mintage for such a coin of this stature..

I think it's an excelent idea to get this for your grand kids and holding it till there adults... There is NO WAY by the time they are adults it will still only be worth bullion prices NOT THIS COIN.. If you do consider buying it for them I would highly recomend having them graded and slabbed for long term storage and protection for these coins (preferably by PCGS) The slabbs will keep the coins in its perfect flawless condition for many lifetimes and that way when you do eventually give them these special coins they won't highly depreciate it's value by touching them with there fingers or worse yet dropping them on the groud and possibly denting them.. The better the condition and grade the coin is the higher the value it will have longterm...

My Double Eagle came today. It was a nice coin, nicely packaged, but looked smaller than I had expected. I think the premium over gold price is to cover the cost of the extravagant box and booklet it came with. Still, its something nice to look at and leave to grandchildren.

A piece of art. Beautiful coin.If you are both

a collector and investor a great choice. A rather

high premium as only an investment. I have one.

Still awaiting the companion book.

I ordered one coin on 1/30/09. I received the coin today,

I'am very pleased with the coin. I'am not a expert with regard to the grading procsss, But the coin is by far the best coin that I have. You can-not beat the cost for shipping and the packing was very good. the case is outstanding.

I have been ordering from the U.S. Mint for several years and have always been very pleased. Best of luck to all of you that are waiting for your coins and I hope they are as nice as mine.
