The Gold price hit an all-time high today in the USA, in USA Dollars. So I may have made a rookie mistake, in my $500 purchase of this fractional (.2501 Troy Oz) Uraguay Gold 5 Peso beauty.
The rookie mistake would be in buying at record high prices. But, I have also learned that some things don't last long in Local Coin Shops.
In 1930, this Coin was celebrating the One Hundred Year Anniversary of Uraguay. And it will celebrate Two Hundred Years in ten years.
This quarter Troy ounce (7.78 grams Gold content @ .910 pure) is about the size of this five cents Silver US nickel, only thinner. Mintage: (about 14,000 "released") Thanks for looking and Stackers keep on stacking.
