I got my first "bit" (actually, it's a hunk) of Peruvian gold recently. This 100 Soles coin is an incredible beauty (but not cheap). I'm looking into possibly some other similar pieces, but these are not very common. 1969 Peru 100 Soles - NGC MS64 Edited by Prethen 01/14/2024 7:13 pm

They are pretty. But are they not regarded as a bullion coin? Price wise.

Beautiful coin, and 1.35 ounces gold weight is substantial heft. From what I can see, they trade for about 10% above bullion rounds like the maple leaf, currently selling for about $3000 US.

I also neglected to mention, this particular piece only has a mintage of 540 pieces. However, I'm guessing most of these survive. Just between the 2 major services, they have around 300 graded (some probably regrades).

Yeah, I saw that one, THQ. I'd be curious to see how it'd grade out at the services. The surfaces look a bit scuzzy to me with some brownish toning streaks. However, for a BU, it is an attractive price in general.
