The Best $100 Coin Investment?

Morgans have had up years and down years. But a nice, circulated CC would maintain
its place. MS dollars can be hyped. Circulated CCs cannot.

I am surprised there are no suggestions about a low grade or small denomination/weight gold coin.... I bought a lowball 1850 gold dollar for $95 at a swap meet. I wasn't concerned about counterfeit because of the low grade. You can find deals, you just have to look.

If you're spending $100 looking for appreciation, my advice is not so much for any specific coin, but to buy quality - stay away from the bargain "problem" or "details" specimens, as the flaws will never get any better. There's a limited supply of truly higher grade examples in almost any specialty, even for the "common" issues, whether it be Morgans, Indian Head cents, whatever, and there will always be a buyer willing to pay top dollar for a coin that doesn't have a "but for" excuse attached to it.
