<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thunderproof, post: 2407094, member: 74694&quot;]Hello!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m looking for some tidbits of information from the gold experts out there. I primarily collect Indian Head Cents but have become interested in No Motto Liberty Half Eagles. I&#039;ve been looking to start purchasing some gold but didn&#039;t really know how to go about it. What draws me to this specific series is how undervalued many of the coins are. They have incredible historic value and most are quite scare.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been looking into many of the Philadelphia dates in choice AU and don&#039;t really know what I should be looking for. What makes for &quot;good color&quot;? I think I can identify BAD color but beyond that my experience is limited. What makes for a truly choice AU coin? These coins are really few and far between in AU with only 2-5 examples available at any given time. The dates I&#039;ve been looking at are 1845, 1846, 1848, 1849, 1850, 1851, 1854, 1855, 1857, and 1858.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an AU55 coin. Good, bad, average? I see a lot of marks but a very nice strike with AU58 wear. Teach me your ways! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]496864[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
