I have noticed that various gold coins do have different tones to them and was wondering why that should be. Some are more reddish and others are more yellowish. My preference is for the yellowish and the brighter the better!

This here below is a MS 70 example of the $5 dollar Liberty, and it ended at 407 and some change, plus a buck shipping. Real close to spot, for such a nice gold pristine example....

I have bought from this dealer before. First class fast shipping, and they go to coin shows just about every weekend. Nice variety of gold and silver for sale each week, and this is a huge plus factor for me, allowing up to 10 days for payment, which allows one who may want to go after a higher priced coin, knowing the have that extra time if needed to come up with all the money....

If the coin dealer can afford to wait, giving a buyer that much time allows them to bid on a higher priced item, that perhaps they normally may not pull the trigger on, or at least small timers like myself anyway....

That IS a stunning coin and one that would be great to collect. I'll have to keep an eye or three peeled for these in the future.

I'm curious about the size of a coin like this. What is the approximate size of one of these $5 gold coins? About the same size as a US 5 cent coin?

The modern $5 and $10 gold commemoratives are minted to pre-1933 standards for their respective denominations.

one thing to make clear, is that the $5 AGE is 1/10 oz and about the size of a dime, the Statue of Liberty coin is about 1/4 oz, pre-1933 standards is(in size) between a nickel and a quarter. I had one in hand today at a LCS but the price was too high for a raw coin. $340.00 plus 6% tax. today's melt value is around 298.00.

The 1999 Washington $5 gold goes for around $475, but it's mintage is around 21,000. It is a beautiful coin with an awesome and unique eagle on the reverse, and represents the historic contest for the new Quarter. The winner is....our Washington quarter. The Washington $5 gold is the runner up.

The 1986 $5 proof is a pretty coin and affordable as well. First $5 gold since 1929 to be minted. I had a few, but traded them up on double eagles.
