    First of happy labor day to everyone, hope the bbq's are good. I want some opinions. IF you had enough money to buy a common date $10 gold indian in AU 58 which one would you buy? I have always wanted one and think that I can get a nice AU 58 with better eye appeal than some of the MS 61 and 62's, thoughts?

    Surfing ebay I found these:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380265707629&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    I'm worried the luster might be bad on this one.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/1910-10-Indian-...74?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3f02d86732

    pics are too small.

    I also see heritage has a bunch of them coming in the next four weeks.

    I will probably only ever own one so I would like a good looker. What dates would you recommend?

    Id ask for some more close up pics on the 1910. I dont like the hits on the 1914.

    Oh, and are you really considering a non-slabbed coin?
    That's a LOT of money to take chances with.
    And I'm not talking grade; I'm simply talking authentication.

    Especially when talking about a LOT of money, why pay 1200 for a slabbed coin, when you can get the same grade non-slabbed coin for 400? I say, if the seller got proper feedback, and there is a money back policy, there is no reason to spend so much. Often slabbed coins are offered on eBay for a ridiculously high price.

    If I buy it on ebay it will be slabbed by anacs, pcgs or ngc. I'll only buy non-slabbed from a dealer that I know and can trust. I'm looking more at heritage for online auctions. I want help with what year to get, mintmark, what to look for ect.

    I'd really like to see that. I don't even care what the coin is, you go find me such a comparison.

    No spock, we have never done that. Find a raw coin that is worth more than you paid for it - sure. But find a raw coin that is worth triple what you paid for it - never.

    I can tell you what I bought. I got a 1907 (first year) certified AU58 from a top notch dealer. Grading gold is a specialty. Look at lots of coins, if at all possible. Prices (as well as quality for the same grade) can vary quite a bit, so shop around. The date doesn't sound like it is that important.

    i have done it countless of times paid $5 for coins worth more than $100

    paid $40 for coins worth more than $100

    Paid $1250 for coins worth more than $2500

    hell we even picked a slabbed coin that was worth more than three times graded correctly ;)

    tsk tsk Gd you have for gotten a lot of our conversations. including the thai baht. oh well thats history maybe we can do it one more time so it becomes fresh :D

    maybe not for us coins but certainly possible for specialized coins ;)

    I have a 1910 $10 indian in ms 62 condition pcgs rated. it looks really nice and i like the look of it.

    It is more of a stable type of coin and it holds it's value prett well. although over the past year or so it has gone up in value.

    something i can pass onto my kids if they ever need it really.

    Tater - I picked up a nice AU-58 $10 Indian at the Scotsman Summer Auction recently that looks MS62 to me.

    Here it is.....

    The 1910-D is a common date and if you are looking for a nice type it's a great choice.

    hiho that is a great looking eagle there. That's what I'm looking for. I've been checking heritage out. I think they have a couple of them up and coming.

    Better to buy something like this from Heritage or Scotsman than on eBay.

    Good luck, I hope you find a nice AU58 that looks MS like I did.

    a 10 D eagle is worth about 625 in gold right now so good luck getting one at 400.
