There can be a flat spot and it can still be AU. The exception is all 1908 coins, as they were minted with less detail on the eagle's shoulder/wing. Report this Post to the Staff

The VF coins are just for melt. A scarce gold coin in AU-MS condition is a lot more and probably cost more, but if you just want to collect gold stick with mint gold coins. A $20 Double Eagle with common date is just a few hundred dollars over cost of spot. I can think of a number of coins that are scarce with low mintage that don't cost much more than common gold coins. Read June copy of Numismatic Magazine about gold as a investment vs collector coin.
