It seems you have to be very selective and buy ungraded and cherrypick coins. For example I have no idea why the 2006 W UNC gold 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and 1/10 ounce Eagle coins are currently trading as low as they are. If I was to buy a modern gold coin today it would be those or wait for other new issues to come out [as far as pure investment goes].
