      Check your local classified ads in your newspaper for gold or silver coins. Many times old, or vintage gold coins and sets are being sold. Ensure that before you purchase these coins that you have them appraised by a coin appraiser, just to ensure that you're getting the real thing. Many appraisers are available online, and some can be found in stores such as pawn or curio shops, or other hobby stores which specialize in coin collecting. The appraisal service price will vary from location to location.

These certificates are issued by a U.S. Mint, and will be stamped with an official U.S. mint number or letter.
