    Here I am at the FIN show. I can only afford to buy one of the two:

    1875-CC AU55 $20

    or

    1787 MS62BN Fugio 8-B

    the gold is slightly more at $5500, and the Fugio is $5000

    help me here, folks!

    A nice quandary to be in!

    Myself, I would be all over the Fugio.

    You can’t go wrong with either one. I’d take the gold but that’s because I have a Fugio. :)

    What did the CC 20$ cost a year ago?

    My thoughts the same as P&G... much of the value of the CC $20 is in the gold price and as variable.. but easier to resell later.. the Fugio on the other hand would be harder to sell but more likely to retain it's value over time.

    Having no pictures and just going off what I think is cooler, I would pick the Fugio.
