<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HappyHighway, post: 2568459, member: 78142&quot;]So I&#039;m looking to purchase a $5 Gold Coin.&nbsp; My few specifications are that it be a Liberty and prior to 1900.&nbsp; I&#039;m a chump for the &quot;Cool&quot; factor and a 1902 just isn&#039;t as cool as an 1882.&nbsp; I don&#039;t care about rarity and therefore my best bet would be a heavily produced year such as 1880 or 1882.&nbsp; In addition, I would like for it to be in AU/BU condition as the mark-up is not that great compared to the melt value.&nbsp; Finally, I would actually prefer it not to be certified so that I can eventually place it in an album.&nbsp; I have had tough luck finding an acceptable BU coin on Ebay for under $400.&nbsp; Recently, I found an online broker (I don&#039;t think they are shady, since they are all over CollectorsCorner and a pretty good website) that is offering a certified 1882 $5 in MS61 for $380.&nbsp; PCGS quotes this coin at $460 trending down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I&#039;m not interested in the value at grade because what I truly want is the BU associated with the coin.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have Greysheet so I don&#039;t know what a common BU Half Eagle would be worth but this seems pretty good.&nbsp; Its also low enough in price that since I won&#039;t be paying for the grade, I could always crack it for my album.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you guys think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
