<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 951472, member: 21603&quot;]I agree that some research is needed.&nbsp; $410 isn&#039;t a bad deal for a 1879 half eagle, but the condition does matter.&nbsp; If this dealer has several gold coins in a case, take a look at them all and compare what this half eagle looks like.&nbsp; Try to determine the condition yourself, reseach on gold coins and how they look per grade could help.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t bought any gold coins either mostly because of their cost.&nbsp; I want to make sure I&#039;m spending money appropriately.&nbsp; But I intend on buying an Indian head half eagle for my first gold coin.&nbsp; I&#039;m fairly good at grading silver coins and will bring a portable scale to weight the coin myself upon purchase.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, you have to start somewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
