Coins Back From The New ANACS

Maybe a little bit smaller even.
that looks like the size of a dime?

Isn't the $5 denomination 1/4 ounce of gold? If so, that might be a great buy.

The $5 denomination is about 1/10 of an ounce of gold.

 

Then what is a $2 1/2 Indian Gold Eagle?

Listing is showning a 2005 $5 Gold Eagle, 1/10 ounce of gold . Modern Buillion "coins"

The $ 2 1/2 Indian gold coin were produced by the United States government between 1908 and 1929. "Quarter Eagle" contains 0.12093 of an ounce.
The $5.00 Indian gold coin"Half Eagles" contain . 24.18 of an ounce.

Sorry, should had been clearer in my original post.

 

Why did they break tradition?

In any event, the 1/10 ounce AGE eagle I have is the thinest, smallest, littlest coin I've owned and I was not happy with it. Now I'm looking at my Quarter Eagle Indians which are engraved and thinking that they must be about the same size. But they are much much better detailed.

This coin in the photo looked to me to be bigger than a 1/10th ounce AGE, but if I compare it to the Indian Quarter Eagles, maybe its an optical illusion.

In any event, I'll never buy another 1/10 ounce gold peice again. Its just too darn small for the design, and feels like a waffer in your hand. It looks silly.

Ruben, to my knowledge, the Quarter Ounce Eagles (Indians) of which you speak are not engraved. They are still made on a coin press, but they have an incuse design. The 2005 1/10 oz eagle in the picture looks large in the photos because ANACS's old holders are so much smaller than NGC's or PCGS's. The 1/10 oz coins are quite small and very thin, but hey...1/10 oz of gold is 1/10 oz of gold, right? The design is very small on them, but they're nice for people that want to buy a little bit of gold, but don't have $600 laying around for the big ones.
