NOT wishful thinking! If you shop around, you should be able to find an MS-60 Indian $5 for under $500. Or what might be better looking is an AU-58 for slightly less. And if you like bullion, you can get a nice 1/4 oz Eagle for under $400. If your budget has a little stretch, a 1/2 oz Eagle or an AU $10 Indian should be right around $600.

I do like the look of the $10 Indian, too. Everyone's right about the simplicity being alluring. Very St.-Gaudens-like. which is no surprise.

I personally like the Liberty Half Eagle. $5. For $450 you can get an ms 62. Yes it will be a higher mintage. Or for $500ish you can get an Au-53 or 55 lower mintage coin

You can get a fairly nice raw $10 Indian for just over melt value. Melt is roughly $530 today.

Say maybe $550 - $600 for a raw nice coin, nice not being a technical term. Only buy off someone you really trust. Realize there are lots of coins out there, and be patient and don't get ripped off.


I think the US $5 and $10 gold coins are the best US coins for the budget buck.


If you just want to dip your toe into gold you can check out a Mexican 2 Peso or 2 1/2 Peso Gold coin. Those go for melt value or not much more.

My LCS typically has these 2 Peso coins for just above melt. Melt value is just over $52 dollars. He is probably $60 retail at the moment.

Roughly the size of a dime if it helps. Call it just under 1/20th of an ounce.

Lately Gold prices are going down so I'd wait a bit longer.
