[QUOTE="USMoneylover, post: 970616, member: 26802"]Let me start by saying i have no actual working experience buying or selling gold coins, and my experience with silver coins are limited compared to many on these forums. I understand and appreciate buying the best you can afford, and also that there are higher premiums paid for smaller(lighter weight) coins. I have narrowed my price range from 400-600$ and have been looking at 2.50$ Indian eagles and 5.00$ Indian eagles(1908-1929). Due to my lack of experience at this current time i have decided to purchase a slabbed specimen from PCGS or NGC. In this price range i have found 5$ Indians slabbed AU53-AU58 and 2.50$ Indians slabbed AU55-58 and MS61. I'm assuming the dates i found are not "rare" or "key" and also realize certain slabbed coins are going to have more or less eye appeal for said grades and i will pick carefully. With all that said here is the question: Considering these coins are fairly close in grade between the two denominations would the 5.00$ coin be a better investment/value because it contains twice the weight in gold?[/QUOTE]
