<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 1413, member: 57463&quot;]These prices are from the December 4 issue of LIBERTY&#039;S OUTLOOK from Liberty Coin Service of East Lansing.&nbsp;&nbsp; They are representative of what an active dealer can charge for these gold coins.&nbsp; Your local dealer may want to charge more, but these are all common bullion coins, not rarities.</p><p><br /></p><p>UK Sovereign (Victoria, George or Edward, George or Elizabeth) $80.50</p><p>France 20 Franc (Angel or Rooster) 64.75</p><p>Germany 20 Mark (1871-1914) 93.50</p><p>Swiss 20 Franc (any common year) 64.75</p><p>$5 Liberty (with motto; XF) 140.00</p><p><br /></p><p>(Also in this range depending on dealer availability are Russian imperial gold coins and the gold coins of Columbia, the Austrian 20 Coronae and their Hungarian counterparts.&nbsp; These, like the Austrian 1 and 4 ducats are restrikes.)</p><p><br /></p><p>So, it looks like you can do a Sov, a French 20 and a Swiss 20, three 19th century common gold coins with lovely artwork on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or a $5 Liberty and an Angel, say.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus there are gold coins even &quot;cheaper&quot; that are _NOT_ bullion.&nbsp; I am thinking of the little Indian &quot;fannams&quot; little drops of gold with abstract designs that are anonymous, but are nominally good gold and which can be attributed after a fashion if you get the books.&nbsp; $10 is always a good retail price for a fannam. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are little Mexican coins that are also bullion in this same range.&nbsp; The Mex 20 Pesos has 1/2 ounce of gold in it, the Mex 10 has 1/4 and it goes down to 5, 2 1/2 and 2.&nbsp; They are common and cheap, but carry some premium.&nbsp; A Mex 2 has about $15 in gold in it and you ought to be able to get one for about $20 or $22.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have a lot of choices, really.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
