The hardest part of being a coin collector is to remain patient. Every time I get fixed on a particular coin, I remind myself that that coin has been around for a long time and there will be others... most of the time it doesn't work, but eh!

Are you looking at BIN prices, or actual actions that have sold? After looking at the gold $1 pieces in the SOLD category, there appear to be several hundred that have auctioned for well under $200. These are not holed, damaged, or junk coins, but most of them show some genuine wear. Your original post asked if you could buy a gold US coin for under $300. You should be able to find MS $1 gold coins all day on ebay, for that price. This is clearly possible. The last dollar coin I bought was an 1853 in AU58 slabbed for $185. If you pick something up, please share :D. Edited by Drsandman2

Indian gold fanams can be had from about $35. How about 8 or 9 of those?

That 1886 is one ugly coin. Hopefully, the owner will put this coin out of it's misery and melt it down. lol

Thanks for the heads up Miket. I called my little local guy today, and found out I missed one last week, he let it go for around 369$ Small time guy that sells out of his house, real nice guy, always meet in a mcdonalds parking lot. I think I just need to call him every week to find a good coin for the price I want.

I recently picked up an XF Indian Head quarter-eagle for $315. The same shop had a an Indian Head dollar for $180. The quarter-eagle was certainly the better value in terms of the gold it contains.

You should be able to find plenty of quarter eagles on ebay selling for well under $300. They're going to be low grade, but if you just want to own numismatic gold, there ya go. |
